Dr. John Pedicone will take over as superintendent of the Tucson Unified School District in 2011. He succeeds Elizabeth Celania Fagen, who left the district this past summer to take a similar post in Colorado. Pedicone is currently on the faculty of the UA College of Education and previously served as superintendent of the Flowing Wells school district.
