Early career

In 2001, Quinto became the city controller[4] for the City of Fresno, California.

In 2005, Quinto became the CFO for Fresno Unified School District.[8][9]

Tenure

edit

In 2004, the Fresno Unified School District was on the verge of state takeover[10] due to poor performance academically and extreme financial difficulties.[11] That year, community leaders and a volunteer interim superintendent, urged a turnaround plan entitled Choosing Our Future: A Community-Wide Call to Action, published in 2005.[12] From 2005 to 2016, Fresno Unified has been referenced as a transitioned system, once nearly dysfunctional to more coherent. Results show that Fresno is fiscally stable[13] [14] and has a high graduation rate.[15]

Other

edit

Quinto serves on the board of trustees for the Community Regional Medical Centers.[16]
