Former LAUSD Superintendent forms Strategic Alliance

Friday, April 17, 2009 – Grace Strauther, former Local District 3 Superintendent for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), has joined the BFGC Architects Team to offer educational consultation from a district/community perspective.

Mrs. Strauther possesses a unique comprehension of a diverse population of district staff, students, parents, and the community.

“We are happy to make this alliance with Grace,” states Bill Tuculet, AIA and Principal Architect with BFGC, “Even though our firm has 60 years in providing architectural planning and design services to educational clients throughout the State, Grace brings the strong interpersonal and supervisory skills from a community perspective, not to mention a keen appreciation of administration needs and desires.”

Grace Strauther has also been an Administrator for the Associated Administrators of Los Angeles (AALA), an Adjunct Faculty Member in the School Management Program at UCLA, and a Consultant for the Council of Black Administrators (COBA).
