Cheryl Cotton has been chosen as the new superintendent of West Contra Costa Unified School District by trustees as they face financial, academic, infrastructure, and personnel challenges. Cotton, a graduate of the district and experienced educator, will succeed Dr. Kenneth Hurst and Dr. Kim Moses. With a rich background in educational administration, including roles at the California Department of Education, Cotton's experience is expected to enhance student achievement. She is the first Black woman to permanently hold this position, beginning her contract on June 20 with a starting salary of $325,000.
I am happy to welcome Ms. Cotton back to the WCCUSD. Her familiarity with our community and wide-ranging professional experiences will be instrumental in driving student achievement.
I am honored to return to the community that shaped me. I am excited to work collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure success for our students.
