This past month, I met with Lynwood Unified School District (Los Angeles County) Superintendent Dr. Dhyan Lal,originally from Samabula, Fiji. Dr. Lal is a long-time successful educator, having served as principal of Carson High School and Jordan High School, and Deputy Superintendent of the California Department of Education. He has been the first Pacific Islander to serve in any position he has held, and is the only Pacific Islander superintendent on the US mainland. Dr, Lal shared his book with me, Island Boy, his own story of coming to America, and the hardships he endured as a child of color. See the NPIEN website for more information on his book. www.npien.com Resources and Links Always good to see you Dr. Lal!
