LACEY, Wash. —
The Olympian reported that the North Thurston school board Friday night selected the 60-year-old Manhas to replace Jim Koval, who is retiring.
Manhas was superintendent of Seattle Public Schools from 2003 to 2007, KIRO 7 reported. Manhas will take over for Koval in Lacey, Wash., on July 1.
In Seattle, Manhas announced he was leaving after four years on the job after his contract expired, calling it "a personal decision" he made in the interest of his family.
Manhas was criticized by Seattle parents in trying to erase a $35 million budget deficit in part by closing and consolidating schools, the Olympian reported.
