Former Pennsylvania Secretary of Education tapped to lead Reading School District

READING, Pa. (WHTM) — Call it a homecoming. Former Pennsylvania Secretary of Education Khalid Mumin is returning to a position he’d held for seven years.

Earlier this week, the Reading School District announced his appointment as superintendent of the largest school district in Berks County.

He served in that position from 2014 through 2021 and reassumes the post on July 1, 2025. He succeeds Dr. Jennifer Murray, who will step down on June 13.

“I am elated to return to the Red Knight family, as we continue our great work with passion and purpose to prepare our students for infinite possibilities of success”, said Mumin.

We thank Dr. Murray for leading the District and wish her the best in her future endeavors.”
