My guest this week on District Leader is Diann Kitamura, Superintendent of the Santa Rosa City Schools. Diann
has worked in public education for the past 32 years. Since February,
2016, she has served as superintendent of the Santa Rosa City School
District, where she also served as the associate and assistant
superintendent.
Diann
is the daughter of immigrants. In fact, her parents were in Japanese
internment camps during WWII. That experience really influenced her
world view, and served as a driver in her life. More importantly, it
has inspired her work as an educator and as an artist. As a result,
Diann has a deep interest in addressing the achievement gap, as well as
the disenfranchisement of students. Diann
is committed to serving students and their families by ensuring that
quality educational opportunities are provided for all students. She
believes that "sense-making learning experiences" and "support systems
that engage students" will inspire them to dream big, to persevere, and
to thrive.
