Career educator hired as chief at Chester Upland.(Chester Upland School District)
Byline: Connie Langland
Jul. 21--"Here's the deal - I will take care of your children," Gloria Grantham told a Chester Upland audience Tuesday evening. "Understand the promise I am making."
She was applauded then and applauded again yesterday when the board of control that runs the Chester Upland School District voted to name her as the new chief executive officer of the floundering system.
Grantham, 62, of Wilmington, is a career educator who most recently has been an assistant superintendent in Washington, overseeing 30 troubled schools.
Grantham will have fewer schools to oversee - five elementaries, two middle schools and one high school - but she is arriving at a district mired in a fiscal and academic crisis. The post will pay an annual salary of $160,000 to $180,000.
