Art Kapoor, president of the Lafayette School District governing board, announced with regret that the superintendent of the Lafayette School District, Dr. Fred Brill, will be leaving his position shortly to move to the San Lorenzo Unified School District. Although he had been superintendent for a handful of years, Brill also worked as the assistant principal and principal at Stanley Middle School. "He served during the 'Great Recession,'" said Kapoor, "and led the District through challenging budgeting processes." He added, "We appreciate his many years of service to the District, and we wish him well in his new position. He'll be sorely missed."
At a closed session meeting Sept. 19 the school board met to discuss hiring a new superintendent. Brill will start at the San Lorenzo district in early October. At his new position, Brill will be overseeing the educating of children in grades kindergarten through high school within the district that includes Hayward, San Leandro and San Lorenzo. Brill will act as superintendent of nine elementary schools, three middle schools, five high schools, one adult school and an alternative school for middle and high schoolers called the District Independent Contract Education program.
