Vince Matthews, the state administrator of Oakland public schools, will take over as the new superintendent of San Jose Unified School District on July 1, the Mercury News reports.

The new administrator, however, will have a limited role — much like Matthews did — because the school district is now back under local control and has its own superintendent: Tony Smith.
