BRONX TIMES REPORTER, A 20 PR. 16-22, 2021 BTR
Erika Tobia tabbed as
new Bronx Executive
Superintendent
BY BRONX TIMES
When Meisha Ross Porter vacated
her position of Bronx Executive Superintendent
and became chancellor of
the Department of Education she left
big shoes to fi ll.
Well, Dr. Erika Tobia is up for the
challenge and on April 6, was offi cially
confi rmed for the role.
“I am honored to follow in the footsteps
of Chancellor Porter and have
the opportunity to build on the incredible
work in every community across
the Bronx,” Tobia said. “I believe that
actions speak louder than words, and
I am excited to get to work serving the
young people, educators, and families
of the place I’ve served for thirty
years.”
Tobia has served the borough for
30 years as an educator, most recently
serving southeast Bronx as the superintendent
of District 8. As superintendent,
she developed district wide standards
and expectations for curricula
and social-emotional learning.
During this time, District 8 made
gains that outpaced the citywide average
increases in both ELA and math
profi ciency, as well as graduation
rates. Dr. Tobia began her career in
1989 as a teacher at PS 41, where she
later served as principal.
While the C-37 hiring process is

the DOE as part of the fi rst cohort of
the New York City Teaching Fellows
in 2000. She has been working in District
8 since the beginning, fi rst as a
teacher, then coach, then principal
and most recently the deputy superintendent.
