Thomas Boysen, a Burroughs High School graduate who helped reform
Kentucky's public school system, has been named chief operating
officer of the Los Angeles Unified School District, officials
announced.

Boysen, who assumes the $215,000-a-year post in mid-Feruary, will
oversee human resources, business and finance, facilities, information
technology, and research and assessment.

Most recently, he has been responsible for the Milken Family

overseeing implementation of the landmark Kentucky Education Reform
act that involved significant changes in instruction, finance and
governance.

Boysen graduated from Burroughs High School in Burbank, received his
bachelor's degree in history from Stanford University and his
doctorate from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
