Assistant Gets Top Job in Moorpark Schools
The assistant superintendent of the Moorpark Unified School District has been named superintendent, effective Oct. 1.
Thomas G. Duffy, 40, was promoted Friday during a closed meeting of the Board of Education. He replaces Michael Slater, who has resigned to complete his doctoral degree at UC Santa Barbara.
Duffy, who will earn $69,462 in the first year of a four-year contract, said his main goal will be to find ways to finance the growing school district.
“There’s a tremendous need for money,” he said. “We need to be very creative and resourceful where there are few funds.”
Moorpark schools had 23% more students in the last school year than the year before, he said.
Duffy has a master’s degree in educational administration from Cal State Los Angeles and is working on his doctorate at USC.
