School District 1 on the Lower East Side accepted the resignation of SONIA DIAZ-SALCEDO as district superintendent earlier this month and named HELEN C. SANTIAGO, formerly a deputy superintendent in District 9 in the Bronx, as acting superintendent. Dr. Diaz-Salcedo resigned after the district's board decided to not renew her contract, which was to expire in June. The resignation also came shortly after the Board of Education discovered that the district ran a deficit of $1.5 million for the 1998-1999 school year.
