Kathleen Lewis

Dear Mountain Oaks School Families,
We are writing to share that Mountain Oaks School Administrator Kathleen Lewis has informed us of her decision to resign from her position and will not be returning for the 2026–2027 school year. While we are saddened by her departure, we respect her decision and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
On behalf of the Mountain Oaks School Board and the Calaveras County Office of Education, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Kathleen for her many years of dedicated service. Throughout her time as a mentor teacher, assistant administrator, and administrator, she has positively impacted the lives of countless students and families. Her commitment to personalized learning, student success, and the growth of Mountain Oaks School has left a lasting legacy.
We recognize that leadership transitions can create uncertainty, and we want to assure families that our highest priority is maintaining the strong educational program, supportive school culture, and individualized services that Mountain Oaks students and families value.
The position of Administrator will be posted immediately and remain open for two weeks. Following the application period, a thorough interview process will be conducted to identify a highly qualified leader who reflects the mission and values of Mountain Oaks School. Our goal is to select an individual who will continue to build upon the school's strengths and support the success of every student. If additional time is needed to identify the right candidate, we will continue the search until we find the best possible fit for our school community.
In the meantime, the Calaveras County Office of Education will provide administrative support and oversight to ensure a smooth and seamless transition. Families can be confident that school operations, student services, and educational programming will continue without interruption as we prepare for the upcoming school year.
Mountain Oaks School has always been defined by the strength of its students, families, teachers, and staff. We are committed to supporting our school community throughout this transition and will keep you informed as the search process progresses.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of Mountain Oaks School.
Sincerely,
David Rose, Mountain Oaks School Board President
Jared Hungerford, Calaveras County Superintendent of Schools
