AUSD CFO Resigns

June 26, 2008

From Ardella Dailey, Superintendent:

I regret to announce the resignation of our Chief Financial Officer, Luz T. Cazares, effective August 22, 2008. Luz has accepted a position as Assistant Superintendent for Business Services for the Pleasanton Unified School District.

Luz joined our district in March of 2004 as Director of Fiscal Services and was promoted to Chief Financial Officer in September of 2005. Luz has done an exceptional job of managing AUSD finances; steering us through three difficult years of budget cuts, improving our financial and accounting systems, educating our community about school budgets and finance with clarity and grace, and bringing a high degree of transparency and accountability to district finances.

Fortunately, Luz has agreed to take the lead in finding and recruiting qualified candiates to fill her position. She knows our district, she knows her team, and she knows the demands of the job, so this will be a great advantage in finding a qualified replacement who can meet the high standards of this important position for our district.

On a personal note, I have a deep admiration and respect for Luz. She is extremely knowledgeable and she truly cares about our goals of excellence and equity for all students. She has truly served AUSD well and I will miss her greatly, both as a colleague and friend. I hope you will join me in wishing her well in her new position.
