Tony Signoret has been named interim superintendent of the Palm Springs Unified School District.
Currently the district’s assistant superintendent of human resources, Signoret replaces Mike Swize, who is leaving to become superintendent of the Perris Elementary School District, according to a statement on Palm Springs Unified’s website.
“The board of education is pleased to appoint Tony Signoret as our interim superintendent of schools,” said Board of Education President John Gerardi in the statement. “He brings a wealth of experience within the district, along with his exceptional knowledge, talents, and leadership abilities.”
Signoret has worked in education for 32 years, mostly with Palm Springs Unified. The board is scheduled to begin discussing at its July 11 meeting its search for a permanent superintendent.
