Letter to TUHSD Community from Laurie Kimbrel, Superintendent
Dear Tamalpais Union High School District Community,
I have made a decision to leave my current position as TUHSD Superintendent effective June 30, 2015 because I have signed a contract to be superintendent in another district.
I have enjoyed working with the administrative team, staff, parents and community over the past seven years and by working together we have made a difference for our students. A strong and forward thinking strategic plan has guided our work to ensure that all students have access to rigorous coursework and graduate ready for success in the 21st century.
Thank you to the Board of Trustees for their vision, direction and support over the past seven years. I would also like to thank the administrative team who are among the most talented leaders in the state, if not the nation. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for our teachers and staff who come to work every day with the unwavering belief that it is their collective responsibility to ensure emotional and academic growth for our students and for their willingness to be innovative, reflective and improve upon their own professional practice. Finally, I would like to thank the parents and community members who have supported a strategic plan and leadership team dedicated to the continuous improvement of already great schools.
I firmly believe that there is a great deal of positive momentum in our schools and that our talented staff will continue to move forward on behalf of our students. I look forward to continuing to work with the board, staff, parents, community and students to ensure a smooth transition over the next six months.
Sincerely,
Laurie Kimbrel

Statement to TUHSD Community from Cindy McCauley, President of Board of Trustees
On behalf of the Tamalpais Union High School District Board of Trustees, I want to congratulate Dr. Laurie Kimbrel on this next chapter of her career and thank her for her vision and commitment to our community over the past seven years.
Under Dr. Kimbrel's leadership, we have made significant progress toward achieving our district mission and strategic plan. All TUHSD schools have experienced improvement in student achievement and we are confident that this momentum will continue. This district has a very dedicated and talented team of teachers, administrators, and support staff who will work to ensure that our great schools are continuously improving on behalf of all our students.
The average tenure for a superintendent is three to five years; we have been very fortunate to have seven consecutive years under Dr. Kimbrel's leadership.
Dr. Kimbrel and the board are committed to a smooth transition over the next six months. This board is determined to execute a high quality search and an inclusive process in choosing our next superintendent. We will keep the community fully informed about our progress in this search.
I personally wish Dr. Kimbrel all the best as she takes on this new career opportunity.
Sincerely,
Cindy McCauley
