And The Candidate Is...

We promised we'd give the information as soon as we could, and here it is:

We are pleased to announce that the Search Committee has unanimously selected Bill Cohen to be a Finalist for the position of Head of School of Kadima. As we have already announced, Bill will be visiting Kadima all day on February 17, 2009.

Bill is presently the Assistant Head of School at Abraham Joshua Heschel Day School, in Northridge, California. A native of Boston, Bill graduated from Brandeis University in 1986 with a major in Politics, and received his Master of Arts Degree in Education from the Fingerhut School of Education of the University of Judaism (now American Jewish University). Bill served as the principal/head of school of Los Angeles Hebrew High School for nine years, during which time he improved the enrollment of the school by more than 70 percent. In addition to serving as the Assistant Head at Heschel, Bill also teaches Educational Administration at the American Jewish University.

We are very excited about Bill being a Finalist for the Head of School position. He's excited, too. We believe that Bill offers the combination of educational insight, management skill, and leadership acumen that will take Kadima to even greater levels of success.

Take the opportunity on Tuesday, February 17, to come meet Bill. The program for parents starts at 7:45 p.m. Be sure to RSVP to Sera at sera@kadimaacademy.org.

Stay tuned for more information.
