Chaundrice Glass

Working under Chaundrice Glass as her assistant superintendent, you see a leader who combines strategic brilliance, tactical precision, and genuine care. At 32, she commands respect across Crestview Unified, a large underserved urban district, while remaining approachable and deeply invested in every student and staff member. Her background—from growing up in Grand Rapids, Michigan as the daughter of two teachers, to earning degrees from the University of Michigan, Harvard, and Columbia Teachers College—has shaped her unwavering commitment to equity in education. Her early career included teaching through Teach For America, leading instructional coaching initiatives, directing strategic programs at nonprofits, and serving as Chief Academic Officer in Lincoln Public Schools, all experiences that honed her ability to implement systemic change effectively. In Crestview, Chaundrice has led transformative initiatives, including the “All Students, All Means All” strategic plan, expansion of dual-language and career pathways, a district-wide community school model, teacher residency programs, and multimillion-dollar grant-funded technology and staff development projects. She is both warm and commanding, building loyalty and trust while influencing statewide education policy. At the same time, her considerable power carries risk: her confidence can sometimes overshadow dissenting voices, and her tactical decisiveness can push decisions forward before full consensus. You support her as the Assistant Superintendent, helping balance her vision with collaboration, ensuring her drive produces sustainable, inclusive outcomes for the district.
