Former Orange Unified School District Superintendent Gunn Marie Hansen was appointed as Westminster School District’s new superintendent March 23, two months after she was abruptly fired from the same position by Orange Unified’s new board majority.

“I am incredibly honored to be the Superintendent of the Westminster School District, and I look forward to collaborating with the Board of Education and the entire community of learners to continue to accelerate achievement and develop state-of-the-art programs for students,” Hansen said in a statement following the decision.
