School Board Names Dr. Amalia Cudeiro as Next Superintendent

At a special meeting on Sunday, March 22, the Bellevue School District Board of Directors named Dr. Amalia Cudeiro as the district's next superintendent.

Each board member spoke at the meeting. They said they had been looking for an instructional leader, a bridge builder and someone who would challenge leaders in an intelligent way and that all candidates met their criteria. They gave a special thank you to public and staff who took part in the public process. Board members reviewed the more than 600 comments and used the information in subsequent interviews with each candidate. They said that on Saturday Dr. Fink pulled his name from the pool of candidates. Mrs. Bushnell expressed the hope that staff and community will join together and move forward in support of Dr. Cudeiro.

The board said that Dr. Cudeiro "brings an exceptional and unique aspect to this job, based on her personal and inspirational story of immigrating to the US from Cuba, learning English and eventually earning a doctorate from Harvard. She will be an inspiration to parent and students. She has a track record of building strong teams and working with teacher and administrator teams. She would like Bellevue to be the model in the US for how schools can close the achievement gap."
