The Vallejo City Unified School District has hired Ruben Aurelio as its new superintendent.

The district’s Board of Education announced Aurelio’s hiring at Wednesday night’s regularly scheduled meeting. Aurelio will replace William Spalding, who announced he will retire on June 30.

“I am thrilled and honored to work with our Board of Trustees in the Vallejo City Unified School District,” Aurelio stated in a news release. “One aspect of VCUSD that drew my attention was the commitment to equitable outcomes for all students. So much so that the district has purposefully named it as the first pillar in their strategic plan. I’ve spent the majority of my career fighting for equitable outcomes. Vallejo feels like home.”
