Newton, MA — Nonprofit Saga Education today added two strategic financial leaders with the appointment of Daryl Mintz and Stanton P. Hill to its National Governing Board. Mintz and Hill will accelerate Saga’s work helping states and districts get high-impact tutoring right.  

Daryl Mintz is the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Treasurer of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. He spent most of his career at Sesame Workshop, starting as assistant controller in 1999 and advancing to CFO in 2010. After he left Sesame Workshop in 2022, Daryl was chief financial and administrative officer of the Robin Hood Foundation, one of New York City’s largest philanthropies dedicated to combating poverty. Following his time there, he served as chief financial and strategy officer for The Second City, the comedy club, comedy theater, and improv school. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from Rutgers University.

Stanton P. Hill serves as Chief Financial & Operating Officer (CFOO) for the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), one of the largest student-governed organizations in the country. Before NSBE, he held several roles at the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), where he managed multimillion-dollar operating budgets, streamlined financial processes, and led grant management initiatives totaling over $30 million. Stanton earned his Master of Business Administration from Northeastern University and a Bachelors of Arts in Business Administration from Morehouse College.   

Michael Levine, a Saga board member and formerly Senior Vice President at Paramount and Sesame Workshop’s SVP and Chief Knowledge Officer, nominated Mintz to the board. “Daryl brings a unique mix of financial rigor and media-driven creativity. He understands how to scale mission work through content, story, and public media ecosystems,” Levine said. “I’ve known Daryl as a trusted colleague for two decades, and am delighted that Saga will add his sharp, strategic thinking with an ability to build coalitions—across philanthropy, enterprise, and policy to deliver impact at scale. His rare combination of disciplined growth thinking and experience navigating multiple sectors will be invaluable as Saga expands high-impact tutoring nationwide.”

Dr. Karl Reid, a Saga board member and Founder and Principal of The OASIS Group, nominated Hill to the board. “For nearly 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with Stanton, who brings expertise in both finance and operations from national and global mission-driven organizations,” Reid said. “I’m thrilled that he agreed to bring these dual qualities to Saga’s board, which will help strengthen and sustain the organization, while also positioning Saga for growth and greater impact.” 

About Us

Each year, nearly one million students risk failing Algebra 1—a critical gateway to graduation. High-impact tutoring (HIT) is a proven, evidence-based intervention that accelerates learning through frequent, personalized instruction. Research by the University of Chicago Education Lab, in partnership with Saga, shows that HIT can double student learning in a single year. Backed by 20+ years of experience and 10 randomized controlled trials, Saga Education’s model helps boost student engagement, confidence, and attendance, and tutors contribute meaningfully to the teacher pipeline. If districts help students clear the Algebra 1 gateway, they will preserve subsequent per pupil dollars that otherwise would be lost due to students dropping out because of academic failures.

Saga Education is the nonprofit leader in high-impact tutoring, leveraging the power of human capital and technology to accelerate student outcomes and foster educational excellence. Rigorous research shows that high-impact tutoring raises grades, builds student confidence, and increases the talent pipeline to support teachers in schools. Saga has been supporting tutoring since 2014, and its leaders helped co-design the first ever in-school-day high impact tutoring intervention in a US public school in 2004 (Boston).
