Khalid Mumin, a native of Philadelphia, has announced his resignation as Pennsylvania's Education Secretary, effective in two weeks. Since June 2023, he has been at the helm of Governor Josh Shapiro's Education Department. Prior to this role, Mumin served as the superintendent for two school districts in southeastern Pennsylvania: Reading and Lower Merion.
Mumin's tenure has been marked by his commitment to enhancing educational standards and addressing the diverse needs of students across the state. His decision to resign comes as a surprise to many, as he has been actively involved in various initiatives aimed at improving educational outcomes.
As the state prepares for this transition, discussions around Mumin's replacement are already underway. The search for a new leader will focus on continuing the momentum Mumin established during his short time in office. The Pennsylvania education community will be watching closely as the administration seeks someone who can build on Mumin's efforts to advance education in the state.
