HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A school superintendent who won Pennsylvania superintendent of the year and has experience in both wealthy and poor districts will be Gov.-elect Josh Shapiro’s nominee for secretary of education. The incoming Democratic governor said Monday that Khalid Mumin will be nominated after Shapiro is inaugurated Jan. 17. Mumin has been superintendent of the Lower Merion School district in suburban Philadelphia for a little over a year. Before that, Mumin was superintendent for seven years in Reading, a majority Latino district that is one of the state’s largest districts and one of its poorest. Lower Merion is one of the state’s wealthiest districts.
