Mumin has been superintendent of the Lower Merion School district in suburban Philadelphia for a little over a year. Before that, Mumin was superintendent for seven years in Reading.
A school superintendent who won Pennsylvania superintendent of the year and has experience in both the wealthiest and poorest districts will be Gov.-elect Josh Shapiro's nominee for secretary of education, the Democrat said Monday.
There, the Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators said Mumin "demonstrated visionary leadership right from the start to get the district back on a positive track and focused on academic growth and support." "I look forward to working with the governor-elect to fully fund our schools, make our students' mental health a priority and empower parents and guardians to ensure their children receive a quality education," Mumin said.
Fixing it became a priority of outgoing Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, and is the subject of a pending lawsuit in Pennsylvania courts filed by several of the state's 500 school districts.
