PRESS RELEASE. From Cabrillo Unified School District on Friday, December 20th, 2024.
Dear Cabrillo Community,
I am writing to inform you that the Cabrillo Unified School District has accepted Superintendent Amber Lee-Alva’s resignation, effective December 13, 2024. Superintendent Lee-Alva expresses her sincerest appreciation for the opportunity to work with the students, families, and staff of the Coastside community, and will take time to focus on her recent health concerns. The Board of Education also expresses its gratitude for the Superintendent’s time with the district and wishes her success in her future endeavors.
In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the District, the Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Ramon Miramontes to serve as Interim Superintendent for the remainder of the school year, effective January 6. Dr. Miramontes comes to Cabrillo with an outstanding record of teaching and leadership, as a classroom teacher, school principal, assistant superintendent and superintendent. He’s described by former colleagues as a natural leader committed to the success of his students, and has earned the unconditional recommendations from those who have worked with him.
The Board also wishes to thank Interim Superintendent Dr. Jeff Harding, for stepping in over the past two months. Unfortunately, Dr. Harding’s status as a retiree caps his ability to complete the school year but he leaves us in much better stead then when he arrived. We are most grateful to have had his experience, expertise and calm demeanor helping lead our organization.
Upon returning from the holiday break, we will begin a comprehensive search to find the next permanent Superintendent. More details will be shared in the future as we weigh this important decision. Selecting a Superintendent of our school district is the most important action a Board takes, and we are committed to ensuring we find and select an outstanding educational leader who represents our district’s values, mission, and vision.
Sincerely,
Carmen Daniel
President of the Governing Board
Cabrillo Unified School District
