Ed Manansala was named Tuesday as the new El Dorado County superintendent of schools, replacing a predecessor who resigned in November after his second arrest for allegedly driving under the influence.
Manansala, 46, is a former superintendent of St. Hope schools in Sacramento and most recently has worked as deputy superintendent of educational services for the El Dorado County Office of Education. Manansala started Tuesday in the new job after the El Dorado County Board of Education selected him at its regular board meeting.

He replaces Jeremy Meyers, 45, who resigned Nov. 14 after two arrests on suspicion of drunken driving last year. Manansala will complete Meyers’ elected four-year term, which ends Jan. 7, 2019.
As county schools superintendent, Manansala will be responsible for fiscal oversight of El Dorado County school districts. He will lead the County Office of Education, which has 412 students at five schools. Those include charter schools and campuses that provide special education, adult education and educational programs for incarcerated youth. The office also provides payroll, printing and other administrative services to the county’s 15 small school districts.
Manansala will be paid a $196,837 annual salary and have an expense allowance of $7,600 a year, according to Dina Gentry, El Dorado County Office of Education spokeswoman.
