Nancy Magee
Nancy Magee, San Mateo County superintendent of schools, announced she will be retiring Feb. 19, after previously saying she would not run for office again.
The San Mateo County Board of Education will discuss an interim superintendent at its Feb. 18 meeting. She has served since 2018, and was reelected in 2022.
“It has been an incredible honor to serve the students and families of San Mateo County,” Magee said in a press release. “I am extremely proud of our students and our schools, and grateful to our community partners. Together with the employees of the County Office, we have worked hard to ensure that every child, regardless of background, has access to the educational opportunities they deserve, especially students with disabilities and those from historically marginalized communities.”
Running for her seat is Chelsea Bonini, member of the San Mateo County Board of Education, and Hector Camacho, executive director of Equity, Social Justice and Inclusion of the San Mateo County Office of Education.
In 2025, the county Office of Education was named “Medium County Office of the Year,” by California County Superintendents. The county office received this award for its statewide leadership in behavioral health, environmental literacy, and school safety. Those who nominated the county office for this award specifically called out the exceptional leadership of Magee in each of these areas, according to the release.
Magee will be awarded the “Golden Oak” Award at the 17th District PTA Founders Day Luncheon on Feb. 24. The following day, she will receive The Tom Mohr “Champion of Education” Award from Chamber San Mateo County at its annual luncheon.
“It has been an honor to collaborate and learn from such an innovative and impactful leader,” Hugo Torres, president of the San Mateo County Board of Education, said in the release. “I wish Nancy the best and will work closely with her to ensure a smooth transition.”
