Ray Cortines gave himself a birthday present last week. At age 78, the superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, whose remarkable energy has allowed him to persevere through in-your-face politics and spirit-crushing budget cutbacks, announced his intent to retire in the spring.
A transition is in the offing for the school district as well as an important stocktaking about what Cortines brought to LAUSD, about its current status, and about its trajectory.
