McQueen announces retirement as Kelseyville Unified superintendent; district seeks his successor
KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — After nearly 14 years on the job, Kelseyville Unified School District’s superintendent said he is planning to retire at the end of the 2022-23 school year.
Dr. Dave McQueen said he’ll step down effective on June 30, 2023.
As a result, the Kelseyville Unified School District Board of Trustees is seeking a highly qualified superintendent to take the helm starting July 1, 2023.
Dr. McQueen said he looks forward to retirement but can hardly believe the time has come.
He’s spent his lifetime with the district, completing his entire K-12 education as a Kelseyville Unified student. All of his children graduated from Kelseyville High School.
In 1998, he began working for the district as the vice principal of Kelseyville High School, then became principal of Kelseyville Elementary and Alternative Education.
In 2009, he was named district superintendent.
“You know, building relationships with Kelseyville students, families and community members has been a joy. Now, after a 14-year career as superintendent at KVUSD, it’s time for me to step down. We will take this year to find the right person to lead the district going forward, and to assure a smooth transition,” Dr. McQueen said.
The superintendent’s position will be posted this week and the deadline for applications is Oct. 12.
