Former Cobb County school superintendent Michael Hinojosa, who resigned last year to take a job as an educational consultant in Texas, has been appointed interim superintendent of the Dallas Independent School District.
Hinojosa, who led the Cobb school system starting July 2011, announced in February 2014 he would be stepping down to move back to Dallas, where he also planned to care for aging parents.
Hinojosa was superintendent of the Dallas school district for six years before leaving in 2011 to take the superintendent job in Cobb.
Dallas school board members recently asked Hinojosa to return to act as interim to replace outgoing superintendent Mike Miles.
Cobb school board members voted this spring to replace Hinojosa with Chris Ragsdale, who had been appointed interim superintendent after Hinojosa’s departure. Ragsdale has a background in information technology and was Cobb’s deputy superintendent for operations before becoming superintendent.
