Head finance officer at Centinela Valley takes new job
December 4th, 2011
After less than a year-and-a-half on the job, the head finance person at the Centinela Valley high school district serving Hawthorne and Lawndale has moved on.
James Pham, who was hired as assistant superintendent of business after the summer 2010 death of his predecessor, Angelita Dalan, served his final day on Wednesday. On Thursday, he began his new job as director of fiscal services at the K-8 Little Lake City School District in Santa Fe Springs, in southeast Los Angeles County.
Pham, who could not be reached for comment, earned a salary of $143,000 in the Centinela Valley district, which consists of three high schools: Lawndale, Hawthorne and Leuzinger. At Little Lake, which is smaller by a couple thousand students, he will earn about $100,000, an official at Little Lake said.
Centinela Valley officials are proposing to replace him internally by Ron Hacker, who wears two hats: administrator in the business-services department and the food services director. The school board will vote Dec. 13 on whether to officially appoint Hacker as the interim assistant superintendent of business.
