Seattle's new Superintendent on recent shooting, school funding, and more
Seattle Public Schools has a new Superintendent.
Ben Shuldiner was the only finalist for the position, and the Seattle School Board unanimously approved his contract back in November.
On Sunday he stepped into the role early after two teenagers, who are believed to be SPS students, were shot and killed at a bus stop in Rainier Valley. The shooting happened near both South Shore PK-8, and Rainier Beach High School.
Soundside sat down with Shuldiner to get his response to the shooting, and to preview his priorities for leading the largest school district in Washington.
