The San Ramon Valley Unified School District Board of Education on Feb. 8 formally accepted principal Rose Bright’s resignation, retroactive to Jan. 28. Bright, who joined Del Amigo/Venture at the start of the 2019-20 school year from the Vallejo Independent Study Academy, had been on leave for personal reasons since Oct. 18, according to SRVUSD spokesperson Ilana Israel Samuels.

“HR shared with me that Rose left because she was offered a promotional position at a charter school,” Samuels told DanvilleSanRamon.com. The name of Bright’s new school was not immediately identifiable.

A mix of retired administrators and current school leaders are combining to oversee both Del Amigo and Venture through the end of the school year, Samuels said.

“This transition of leadership will not impact your student’s educational experience,” assistant principal Margrette Wui wrote in an email to families in late January.

SRVUSD’s human resources staff closed public recruitment for the next Del Amigo/Venture principal earlier this month and were “in the process of scheduling the interview process timeline including meeting with staff and community and obtaining their input for their next amazing principal,” Samuels said.
