I notified the Board of Education of my plans to retire at the end of this school year after 36 years of service to the students of Santa Clara County, including 16 years in Sunnyvale and the last five as Superintendent. As I prepare to step away, I am more convinced than ever of the potential of Sunnyvale School District because of the rare combination of the engagement of our families, community support, outstanding, committed employees, and a clear, shared vision for equity and inclusion.

As we begin a new calendar year, it is an opportune time to remind ourselves of the Sunnyvale School District Promise and to reaffirm our strong commitment to our District’s goals.  Foundational to all we do is an unwavering commitment to keep every student and staff member safe and secure.

As we enter the holiday break, the sort-of “half time” of our school year, I reflect upon how grateful I am for the support the Sunnyvale community shows for our children and their education. The most recent example of our community’s unwavering commitment to the education of our children was the overwhelming support for Measure Y on the November ballot. We are truly humbled and grateful that over 82% of voters chose to invest in the future of our students. This level of support for any measure is truly unheard of.

We are encouraging our students to hypothesize, try new things, learn from mistakes, and know that every step makes them better learners, so they can be prepared to shape the future they want.

Our new strategic plan outlines the specific goals we are working to achieve, and the new Portrait of a Sunnyvale Learner serves as our guide.
