FCUSD board members decided to replace Superintendent Patrick Godwin with current deputy superintendent Debbie Bettencourt in a unanimous vote Thursday, while Cordova High school principal Jackie levy’s replacement has yet to be decided.
Godwin announced his retirement in November after holding two public forums regarding the closure of two Rancho Cordova elementary schools. His retirement will be effective June 30, and will mark the end of a 36-year career as an educator and a five-year run as superintendent of the Folsom Cordova unified school district.
