We are pleased to announce that Ms. Josie Peterson has joined JESD as our new Assistant Superintendent of Business Services. Ms. Peterson comes to us from the Pacifica School District where she served as their Chief Business Official for over 20 years. She also has extensive experience in accounting as both a CPA in the corporate environment and as a school district Controller. When she’s not working, Ms. Peterson volunteers with her dog, Cooper, with the Humane Society in their pet assisted therapy program. You can find Ms. Peterson and Cooper visiting the elderly, high school and college students as well as the Pacifica Library as part of the Paws for Tales program. We welcome Ms. Peterson to JESD!. 

Ms. Aubrey Duffy will move from the dean to the next principal of Franklin D. Roosevelt K-8 School. 

Ms. Duffy started her journey with JESD in 2016 as a 4th grade teacher at Daniel Webster. She served as an instructional coach in the Big Lift Inspiring Summer program in 2020 and 2021, and, after five years of teaching, took on a new challenge as the dean at FDR. Ms. Duffy’s commitment to students’ academic success, high level of compassion, and ability to maintain a positive outlook will continue to shine as she steps into her new capacity as principal.

We welcome the continuity her appointment brings to FDR and look forward to working together with the FDR community to ensure a smooth transition.

After a rigorous and collaborative interview process involving family, certificated, classified, union and district representatives, Mr. Brian Bethel has been named the next principal of Marjorie H. Tobias Elementary School. 

Mr. Bethel started his journey with JESD in 2022 as the dean of students at Thomas R. Pollicita Middle School before moving into his current role as vice principal of Fernando Rivera. In both positions, Mr. Bethel's focus has been on building trusting relationships with students, staff, and families and ensuring a safe learning environment for all students.  Prior to coming to JESD, Mr. Bethel served as a mathematics teacher in SFUSD, the Sequoia Union High School District, and the Redwood City School District, in addition to his experience as a teacher and administrator in a number of non-public schools. 

Welcome to MHT, Mr. Bethel!

We are pleased to announce Ms. Christina Sanchez as the next principal of Thomas Edison Elementary School. Her teaching and administrative experience, passion for education and track record of collaboration resonated with those of us that participated in the rigorous interview process.

Ms. Sanchez started her journey with JESD in 2012 as a substitute teacher before being assigned to her own class at George Washington. While there, she taught 2nd-5th grade and served as their TIG teacher before taking on a new challenge as a 7th grade ELA/ELD teacher at Benjamin Franklin in 2018.  After two years as a middle school teacher, Ms. Sanchez served as the dean and vice principal at Thomas R. Pollicita Middle School.

We welcome Ms. Sanchez to Thomas Edison!

After a rigorous and collaborative interview process involving family, certificated, classified, union and district representatives, we are pleased to announce that Mr. Danny Chui will be the next principal of John F. Kennedy Elementary School. Mr. Chui is a product of the Jefferson Elementary School District, having attended George Washington, Susan B. Anthony and Thomas R. Pollicita before moving on to the Jefferson Union High School District. He currently resides in Daly City with his family and is excited to return to his roots in our district. After beginning his journey in education as a teacher in the Jefferson Union High School District, Mr. Chui was appointed as the dean of students and vice principal of Westmoor High School. Moving down the Peninsula, Mr. Chui served as an assistant principal in the Menlo Park City School District, before his current assignment as principal of Mill Valley Middle School.
