Yvonne Shiu, lead principal at Hillsdale High School the past two years, was named the next principal of San Mateo High School at a district board meeting Wednesday night.
... The board also announced Wednesday that Burlingame High School Principal Matt Biggar will step in as the district's interim associate superintendent of instruction in January. Until then, district staff in the department will be aided by a consultant. A permanent associate superintendent has not yet been named.

"An additional savings will come from not filling the open assistant superintendent of instruction position left open when Mark Avelar retired in December. Avelar will come back part-time for the first semester. Burlingame High Principal Matt Biggar will become the interim assistant superintendent in January while maintaining his role as principal. The arrangement will save the district $150,000, said Interim Superintendent David Miller. It will cost us $45,000 for what would normally cost $200,000. We're going to save money and show the administration is willing to share the burden,? he said."
