Dr. Natasha Baker, who has served as Fresno Unified School District’s chief academic officer for two years and seven months, is leaving for a new job as superintendent of the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District.

Norwalk-La Mirada is a 15,000-student district in Los Angeles County.

Baker, who had replaced longtime chief academic officer Kim Mecum at Fresno Unified, had previously served as superintendent of the 4,300-student Banning Unified School District in Riverside County.

In a statement posted on Norwalk-La Mirada Unified’s website, Baker said she’s “super excited about listening to and learning from our staff, community, parents, and students. Together, we can build on the wonderful successes of Norwalk-La Mirada, support one another, and work together to achieve even greater success. With great optimism, I am looking forward to engaging with our team whose focus is on every student to be future ready as our promise!”

Her first day of work at Norwalk-La Mirada is Wednesday.

According to news reports in Southern California, Norwalk-La Mirada is being sued by two former students after a teacher was found guilty of sexual abuse. In addition, the district recently booted Planned Parenthood as the contractor operating a wellness center at one high school after parents expressed their outrage.
