Summary
The Torrance Unified Board approved the appointment of Amy Hajj as coordinator of special education, effective July 1, 2025. Hajj addressed the board and pledged to work with families and staff to support students with diverse needs.
The Torrance Unified School District board on Monday reported it had approved, in closed session, the administrative appointment of Amy Hajj as the district's coordinator of special education effective July 1, 2025.
Dr. Amy Hajj, introduced by staff as an appointee with prior roles as an elementary principal and special education teacher, spoke briefly to the board after the announcement. “Supporting students with diverse needs is not just my profession, it's my passion,” she said, and pledged to "work collaboratively with educators, families, and the community" to support students.
The board recorded the close-session action as a unanimous approval. The appointment follows the district's administrative recruitment process and will take effect at the start of the new fiscal year. No additional personnel details or contract terms were disclosed during the meeting.
The district noted Hajj's prior work in Culver City Unified and Hawthorne and her academic credentials, including a doctorate in educational leadership. The board welcomed her and opened the floor for questions; none were raised.
The board did not take further action on special education staffing at Monday's meeting; any implementation details are expected to appear in future personnel reports and the July board agenda.
