Belmont-Redwood Shores Staff and Community,
After considerable thought and reflection, I have decided to take a personal sabbatical next school year. I have given notice to Board President Rahila Passi that I will not be extending my contract with the District, which expires on June 30, 2020. I have chosen to announce my decision at this relatively early time of year to give the Board the greatest advantage in searching for and securing a new superintendent.
Be assured that I am committed to serving the students, staff, and stakeholders of BRSSD throughout this school year and to giving our collective work my full attention and effort.
Serving as superintendent in Belmont-Redwood Shores since 2013 has been a remarkable opportunity and a true honor. I have consistently enjoyed, and continue to enjoy, the work of leading our high-performing school system. We have outstanding teachers and staff, motivated and thoughtful students, incredibly supportive families and community members, superb leadership on the Board and across our administrative team, and strong community and civic partners. Belmont-Redwood Shores fulfills the promise and potential of excellent public schooling, and I am grateful to have been a part of this exceptional organization.
Ms. Passi and I will keep you informed of the superintendent search process, which is expected to begin in mid-October with a review of potential search firms.
With sincere gratitude,
Michael Milliken
