Education Secretary Riordan Steps Down

Sacramento, CA -- California's top education official is stepping down.

Education Secretary Richard Riordan submitted his resignation to the Governor's office last month saying he plans to return to Los Angeles.

Riordan agreed to stay in his position until a replacement could be found. Riordan said it was a "privilege to serve" under Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he is looking forward to working with him "throughout his time as governor."

Riordan was appointed to the secretary's position last November. Riordan also campaigned actively for Schwarzenegger during the state's recall election.
