On his road to SDCCD, Greg Smith purposefully pieces culturally significant lessons together into practice. They now define the equity-focused goals, values, and leadership style he brings to the district as acting chancellor. 

Greg Smith, vice chancellor of people, culture and technology services since October 2020, will lead the district as acting chancellor filling the role of Carlos Cortez until a new chancellor is hired. After taking a period of emergency family leave to care for his parents, Cortez resigned effective May 1, according to a press release from the district.
