On April 13, a 12-member Hiring Panel, comprised of teachers from Ferndale High School, Ferndale Elementary School, parents, and all five FUSD Board of Trustees members, met to discuss and interview applicants for the position of District Superintendent.
The Hiring Panel officially asked the Board of Trustees to approve Mrs. Danielle Carmesin, the current Principal at Ferndale Elementary School, as the new Superintendent of Schools.
In their Closed Session meeting on Wednesday, April 19, the Trustees voted unanimously to approve Mrs. Carmesin as the FUSD Superintendent. She will blend this new duty with her current role as Elementary Principal and remain at FES.
The Ferndale High School Principal opening has been advertised on several educational platforms and will close on April 28. The same Hiring Panel will interview the qualified applicants on a date soon after May 1, 2023.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I’d like to thank you for your continued patience and support. Ferndale Unified School District is a better place because of your commitment to greatness, as parents and guardians and from our entire staff.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact Mrs. Carmesin or any of your School Board members.
With Eagerness and Continued Commitment to Excellence,
Danella Barnes-Penman
FUSD Board of Trustees, President

Slow Down in School Zones!
• We all know driving 15mph (or less) in school zones when children are
present is important.
However, children may be present at school at any time of day, even if you can’t see them from your car. Anticipate unforeseen hazards and slow down to 15mph or less whenever you are in a school zone.
This includes weekends!
Good Afternoon,
This Friday, April 7th, FES and FHS have early dismissal at 1:00 p.m.
