An Exit Interview With Outgoing LAUSD Superintendent Austin Beutner
It’s safe to say LAUSD Superintendent Austin Beutner’s time in office was unlike any of his predecessors’. The former investment banker, deputy mayor of Los Angeles and L.A. Times publisher announced earlier this year that he’d be stepping down from his position at the end of June after three years which included bargaining through a teacher strike and navigating a school district through a global pandemic.
Today, on Superintendent Beutner’s final day in office, Larry talks to him about navigating the second-largest school district in the U.S. through major challenges,and the lessons he learned along the way that he plans to bring with him to his next role.
Guest:
Austin Beutner, superintendent of Los Angeles Unified School District
