 Beutner, 58, was chosen on a 5-2 vote, with board members George McKenna and Scott Schmerelson objecting. The board approved a contract that provides Beutner with a base salary of $350,000 a year. “It is my distinct honor and privilege to take on the responsibility to lead the LA Unified School District; a complex, diverse organization, full of students bursting with potential,” he said in a statement from the district.
 “These young women and men are the future of our community, and every policy we adopt and every decision we make must be with the sole focus of doing everything we can to provide them with the best education possible,” he added. “I look forward to working with the school board, parents, employees, labor partners, and the community to build on the progress that has been made at LA Unified, to address the challenges we face, and to deliver on our promise to our students.
” LAUSD Board Member Nick Melvoin said Beutner was the right choice “in a climate of financial uncertainty, pervasive achievement gaps and severe underfunding of our public schools.”To ensure success for our kids, adults must acknowledge that the status quo is not working,” Melvoin said.  “I’m excited to work with our new superintendent and my colleagues to bring new thinking to stale challenges and accelerate achievement for all our kids.” Before the board held its final closed-session meeting on the superintendent search Tuesday, a series of parents spoke to the panel in support of Vivian Ekchian, who has been serving as interim superintendent following the departure of Michelle King, who went on medical leave inSeptember and announced in January she had cancer and would not be returning to work.
