Los Alamitos Unified School District (LAUSD) recently announced that Ondrea Reed was selected as the new Director of Educational Services.
Reed has worked in education for 15 years and has been with the LAUSD for the past nine years, most recently as the Principal at Francis Hopkinson Elementary. Prior to her service at Hopkinson, she was the Assistant Principal at McGaugh Elementary School, worked as a District Teacher on Special Assignment, and taught elementary school in the ABC Unified School District. Additionally, she was the Executive Director of the Los Alamitos Education Foundation (LAEF) and began LAEF’s Summer Enrichment Institute and after-school programs.
She received her Bachelor of Arts from San Diego State University and her Master of Arts Degree in Curriculum & Instruction from California State University, Long Beach. “Ondrea’s experience and expertise are a perfect match for this position, and the Board of Education and I are confident that her contributions will enhance the District’s culture of excellence and commitment to serve all members of the District community,” said LAUSD Superintendent Dr. Sherri Kropp.
Reed lives with her husband and two young children in Rossmoor, spends a lot of her free time traveling with her family (husband Jason, daughter Raegan, and son Jackson), and at activities for her children. In her response to this new position which she assumed on July 1 she said, “The students, teachers and parents in Los Alamitos Unified are what make it possible to ignite unlimited possibilities within our schools, and I look forward to working collaboratively with the communities of Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, and Rossmoor to meet and exceed the needs of all students.”
