Tenure
In 2004, the Fresno Unified School District was on the verge of state takeover due to poor performance academically and extreme financial difficulties. 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. 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 and has a high graduation rate.

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