OXNARD : Rogalsky Named Rio Superintendent
The Rio Elementary School Board of Education in Oxnard has named Peter Rogalsky new superintendent of the 2,500-student district.
Rogalsky, 53, senior director of curriculum and instruction at Simi Valley Unified School District, will replace John McGarry, who is retiring.
Rogalsky has more than 31 years of experience in education as an elementary school teacher, a principal and in various district-level management positions. He is president of the regional office of the Assn. of California School Administrators, a group of 800 administrators representing schools in Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.
A resident of Camarillo, he has served as an adviser to the Ventura County Superintendent of Schools curriculum council and other task forces. He also works as a referee at local high school and college football games.
McGarry, who served in the district for 28 years, the last 10 as superintendent, announced his retirement in February.
Rogalsky will begin his new duties in the five-school, kindergarten-through-eighth grade district on July 1.
