Department of Education names finance leader
Posted: January 27, 2012 at 12:43 p.m.
The Arkansas Department of Education has hired the superintendent of the Lavaca district in Sebastian County as its new assistant commissioner for the Division of Fiscal and Administrative Services.
Jared Cleveland will begin the new role on July 1.
"Jared has a complete understanding of how schools operate," Arkansas Education Commissioner Tom Kimbrell said in a news release. "He knows school district issues well and has been directly involved in many of the complex policy and financial problems that affect them. We are fortunate to have someone of his caliber who is experienced with the intricacies of Arkansas's school finance system."
Cleveland previously was a superintendent, high school principal, coach and teacher in the Magazine district in Logan County.
Kathleen Crain has been filling the department of education's finance position in an interim capacity since Bill Goff left for a job in the Pulaski County Special School District.
