Jenkins has l)ccn the chief adnunistratixe officer of fhe Pasadena Board of Education. As such, he has l)een respon- sible for many improvements in the citv scliool system. It was liis influence, as much as anvone ' s, that caused the aj proxal of the new Pasadena . rea Junior College District. It is Dr. Jenkins ' belief that the Junior Col- lege District is a large step forward in the effort to make PCC the outstanding junior college in California. He has worked for this move since it was first proposed, because he considered it neces- sary to PCC ' s continued growth. During the fall, James N. Sti ers, Jr., presi- dent of the Pasadena Board of Education, has an- nounced with regret the acceptance of Dr. Jen- kins resignation, effective Julv 1, 1967. Dr. Jen- kins will become superintendent of the San Fran- cisco school system. Mr. Stivers expressed his gratitude for the job the superintendent has done in administering this vast educational complex. The superintendent is abh- supported b - four experienced assistant superintendents. Upon them falls the da -to-dav decision making in regard to business matters, clementar - and sceondarv schools, and curriculum planning. Ur. E.
