Anton to Retire From School District Post
- Share via
William Anton, deputy superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District and its highest-ranking Latino, has told district officials that he will retire at the end of this school year.
Once a finalist for the superintendent’s job that was won by Leonard Britton, Anton, a 37-year district veteran, is the first of the upper-echelon old guard to leave since Supt. Harry Handler retired almost 2 1/2 years ago. Anton disclosed his plans to retire from his $146,052-a-year post in a letter to Britton earlier this month.
Anton, 65, grew up in Los Angeles and began his career in 1952 as a teacher at Rowan Avenue Elementary School.
