In a mid-school year change, the DJ is reporting
Burlingame School District Superintendent Chris Mount-Benites is taking a leave of absence for an undetermined amount of time, leading to Assistant Superintendent Marla Silversmith to take on the role in the interim, officials announced in an email Friday.
“Ms. Silversmith has been with the Burlingame School District for five years and has acted as interim superintendent previously. We know that our community is in great hands under her guidance and leadership. We are grateful to Ms. Silversmith for stepping into this role,” the email statement read.
I wish Marla luck. There is no lack of issues at hand at BSD from budgets to "workforce housing" to whatever the winter may bring Covid-wise to planning for major inflows of students from the roughly 1,500 new units of housing coming on-line in B'game.
Does anyone have an update about Chris Mount-Benites? Its been almost two months since he went on leave.

It's been very quiet. I haven't heard anything.

Crickets I am hearing crickets. What is going on with Chris - is he going to return. Can his leave of absence document be made available to public? Does it have an end date for his leave? Someone must know what is going on. Is there a search committee to find his replacement? I would think Kevin Nelson has some insight?
