Former Central Elementary principal Cindy Marten will take over as superintendent of the state’s second-largest school district next week.
School board trustees who selected Marten for her new post point to her success at Central Elementary as evidence she’s qualified for her the significant promotion.

In the latest edition of Fact Check TV, Lewis and I focused on a statement Marten made about cuts Central endured over the last decade.
