Jackson to serve as Interim Superintendent through December of 2021, after President Joe Biden nominated former Superintendent Cindy Marten as U.S. Deputy Education Secretary.

Most recently, Dr. Jackson served as Area 2 Superintendent overseeing schools in clusters for the Clairemont, Mira Mesa, Morse and University City Learning Communities. Dr. Jackson has led a partnership with the San Diego Education Association to develop a new growth and development model for educator effectiveness and empowerment. He is passionate about collaborating with principals and teachers to improve student achievement. Serving as a mentor for African American males has been a great source of pride for Dr. Jackson, who believes in a philosophy of opportunity, inclusion and equity. His desire to nurture all learners is fundamental to his work. Dr. Jackson graduated from San Diego State University with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and social sciences. He also holds a master’s degree and a doctorate in educational leadership from the University of San Diego.
