Central Unified has a new leader at the helm. Dr. Mark Marshall, who stepped into his role as Superintendent in July, is spending his first 100 days meeting students, greeting teachers, and listening to community members. With years of experience leading districts in Los Banos and Lancaster, and a career that began as a special education teacher, Dr. Marshall is focused on keeping kids first.

Hear how these kits—and the caring educators behind them—are making a lasting impact.
