SACRAMENTO—State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson today announced the
appointment of Sandip Kaur as the new Director of the California Department of Education's
(CDE) Nutrition Services Division.
"Sandip brings a wealth of experience into her new leadership position at the Department, and I
appreciate the hard work she has already put in to help make sure California's children have
access to nutritious meals," said Torlakson. "She'll play a key role in carrying out our Team
California for Healthy Kids initiative designed to help children develop the habits that will make
them healthier in school and throughout their lives."
Kaur has been the acting Director of the Division for more than a year and replaces newly-retired
Director Phyllis Bramson. Bramson had a distinguished career in state government for 31 years.
This includes her eight years of service with the Nutrition Services Division where she provided
leadership and management of three complex and highly visible state nutrition automated
systems, two of which won state best practice awards.
Kaur started working in the Division in 2004 as a high level manager. The cornerstone of her
experience was the initiation and completion of the Child Nutrition Information and Payment
System, which is a Web-based system that modernized how local sponsors of federal food
programs submit and track the status of their applications, claims, changes, and U.S.
Department of Agriculture food orders to the CDE. Kaur was also responsible for making the
Division's Food Distribution Program more cost effective for sponsors and competitive with
private food distribution companies.
Kaur has nearly 28 years of experience working in California state government, including stints in
the Department of Food and Agriculture, Department of Personnel Administration, and the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
