Shakeup At Twain Harte School

Twain Harte, CA — Last night the Twain Harte School District made the decision to release Principal Dan Mayers and reassign him to a new role next school year.

When contacted this morning, District Superintendent Rick Hennes, could only state, “At last night’s board meeting, the board president announced that the governing board had voted in closed session to release and reassign an administrator to the classroom for the 2017-18 school year. An administrator serves at the pleasure of the governing board and can be released and reassigned, without cause,  pursuant to education code section 44951. Any other details concerning the board’s decision to take such action in closed session last night is confidential.”

Twain Harte School, which serves students in grades K-8, is the only school that remains in the Twain Harte School District. Black Oak Elementary closed in 2008 and Pinecrest School closed in 2012. No additional information about the shakeup is immediately available.
