Dublin School Superintendent Suddenly Resigns

DUBLIN (CBS SF) – The superintendent at the Dublin Unified School District suddenly announced her resignation Tuesday, as the district faces a potential strike by teachers.

Leslie Boozer and the district agreed to a "mutually agreed separation," School Board president Amy Miller said at the start of open session during Tuesday night's board meeting.

In Boozer's place, Matt Campbell, assistant superintendent of education services, has been appointed as the acting superintendent.

The district plans to hire an interim superintendent until a permanent leader is selected.

Boozer's sudden departure comes amid contract negotiations between the district and teachers, which reached an impasse. Earlier this month, 98 percent of Dublin Teachers Association members voted to authorize a strike if a deal is not reached.

"We want what's best for our students and this community. If this board thinks this is the best move right now, we are supportive of their decision," union president Roberta Kreitz said in a statement to KPIX 5. "We are committed moving forward, and to finding the best fit for the Dublin. Meanwhile, we are still certified to fact-finding and will continue to negotiate for the best class sizes, the best educators and the best supports for our students."
