At the first town hall meeting last week, she pointed to multilingual learners, special education students and the graduation rate as areas she wants to improve.

“It will become a priority if it’s the priority of the community. Based on what I heard in the last town hall and in other conversations, it is something that is top in mind for the community and will become top of mind for me as a result,” Estrella said.
She is set to start officially as the superintendent on July 1.
