PORTLAND – A deputy superintendent from San Francisco has been chosen to lead Oregon’s largest school district.

The Portland Public Schools board voted Friday to hire Guadalupe Guerrero as superintendent. Since 2012, he’s been the San Francisco district’s deputy superintendent of instruction, innovation and social justice.

Former Superintendent Carole Smith stepped down in July 2016 after a controversy over lead in the water.
