SAN BERNARDINO, CA—- Dale Marsden has resigned as superintendent of San Bernardino City Unified School District after seven years in the post, announcing his departure at the Board of Trustees meeting Tuesday, December 10.
The veteran educator said Wednesday he will remain in his position, possibly through the end of the school year, as board members discuss a transition timeline and next steps.
Hired in 2012 to lead the county’s largest school district, Marsden is one of the longest-tenured superintendents in the state.
In a phone interview with The Sun, Marsden declined to say what role he plans to assume when he leaves the district but said his departure will allow him to focus on blazing a trail regionally for some of the efforts started in San Bernardino.
“This is a big district and a very active place,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of momentum going, and I want to continue that momentum forward to lift similar efforts countywide and regionally, too.”
