Travis Unified administrators decided to promote from within when they searched to fill two senior management positions.

In a press release issued Thursday, Superintendent Kate Wren Gavlak named Sue Brothers, the current director of curriculum, instruction and assessment, as the new assistant superintendent for educational services. She will replace Jim Bryan, who will retire in July after 14 years in the Fairfield district and 33 years in public education.

Brothers started her career as a preschool teacher and has 30 years of experience in K-12 education. She taught high school biology and chemistry, and has experience as a principal, curriculum director and assistant superintendent.

Additionally, Bill Sarty, the assistant principal of Vanden High School since 2013, has been promoted to principal of the Markeley Lane school. He replaces Sandi Reese, 53 and a resident of Dixon, who has accepted a job as principal of Pioneer High in Woodland.
