A Maryland educator has been named the capital city’s new superintendent of schools by Hartford officials. Beth Schiavino-Narvaez, a deputy superintendent for public schools in Montgomery County, was chosen Monday by the city’s Board of Education after a nationwide search was conducted. Schiavino-Narvaez will begin her new job July 1 and will succeed Christina Kishimoto, the first Latino to lead the city’s school system. Schiavino-Narvaez beat 58 other applicants for the job, including co-finalist Ronald Taylor, who is the school superintendent in Willingboro, N.J. She was an assistant school superintendent in Springfield, Mass., before she took a job with Montgomery County in 2011.
