District Says Goodbye to Dr. Roy, Hello to New Supe

Dr. Suzanne Roy will be honored Thursday night for her service to the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District (BRSSD). Roy, who has served as the district's interim co-superintendent throughout the school year, is retiring in June. 

Roy came on board in September 2011 as assistant superintendent of educational services and personnel, and joined Nellie Hungerford as co-superintendent in June of last year when then-superintendent Emerita Orta-Camilleri's contract was not renewed.

And as the district says farewell to Dr. Roy, it will welcome its new superintendent. In a statement released Wednesday by the district office, school officials invite the community to meet the new superintendent during the board meeting Thursday evening.

"At our June 6 Regular Board Meeting we will welcome our new Superintendent. This meeting will start with Closed Session at 4:30 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.  Then convene to Open Session where the Board will announce the new Superintendent.  The Board will then recess for a meet and greet with the new Superintendent.  At 6:00 p.m. the Board will reconvene to Closed Session.  The Open Session is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m.," the district officials said in a statement. 

In addition to the announcement of the new superintendent, the BRSSD board is expected to approve the addition of one kindergarten class at Sandpiper Elementary School for the 2013-2014 school year.
