Brumley’s first day as state superintendent is June 08, 2020.

Many individuals congratulated Brumley in the comments section of his Twitter announcement.

I noticed assistant superintendent, Jessica Baghian, did not.

On June 03, 2020, Advocate journalist Will Sentell tweeted that Baghian has submitted her resignation effective June 12, 2020:

Assistant State Superintendent of Education Jessica Baghian submits resignation effective June 12. Narrowly lost bid to become state superintendent of education two weeks ago.#laed

Baghian’s exit represents an end to the narrative-muddying, John White era in Louisiana education.

I expect that other John White hires will be leaving , as well.

We have turned a corner in Louisiana education.

Goodbye, Jessica Baghian.

Welcome, Cade Brumley.
