Nancy Magee, San Mateo County superintendent of schools, announced she will not run for reelection next year after serving since 2018, and being reelected in 2022.
“Education is a civil right and a cornerstone of our democracy,” Magee said in a press release. “My goal for the remainder of my term is to do my absolute best for our students, our schools, our partners, and our organization to keep moving strongly forward together. We will work tirelessly to ensure every child, regardless of background, has access to the educational opportunities they deserve. This includes students with disabilities and those from historically marginalized communities. We must expand our investment in the social, emotional, and mental health of our young people.”
Magee will also continue to advance the countywide third grade literacy initiative, The Big Lift, noting that prioritizing early literacy is one of the most effective strategies to improve academic and lifelong outcomes. Magee also remains dedicated to strengthening the knowledge, skills and resources across the 23 school districts to ensure safe and supportive schools under the umbrella of the San Mateo County Coalition for Safe Schools and Communities, according to the release.
Magee is focused on accomplishing the County Office of Education’s strategic goals for the remainder of her term that ends Jan. 1, 2027. One key priority is implementing the United for Youth Vision 2030 Blueprint with the County’s Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, in pursuit of a countywide road map for aligning youth mental health support and services.
Magee led the Office of Education through the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting the transition to distance learning and back to in-person learning as safe conditions allowed, according to the release.
Chelsea Bonini, member of the San Mateo County Board of Education, and Hector Camacho, former member of the Board of Education, have been discussed as potential county superintendent candidates.
