O.C. Official Named New School Supt.
One day before the school year began for the 8,600 students of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District, Ann N. Chlebicki, 44, was named superintendent.
Chlebicki will earn $104,000 a year under a three-year contract unanimously approved by the school board Sept. 7. The contract begins Oct. 10.
Chlebicki was assistant superintendent of instructional services for the 28,000-student Saddleback Valley Unified School District in Orange County.
“When I was checking (Chlebicki’s) references, just about everybody was very negative--about the prospect of losing her,” said board member Barry J. Hildebrand, a trustee.
She said she will continue to live in Huntington Beach.
Chlebicki’s appointment ends a search begun in April after Michael W. Caston left to become superintendent in Santa Barbara.
