Van Schaack stepping down as Livermore schools chief; search begins for replacement

Livermore’s school district superintendent announced last week that he would retire from his position in June, which means the school board will need to move quickly to find his replacement before the coming school year.

Chris Van Schaack, who was appointed to the role leading the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District two years ago when Kelly Bowers retired, leaves with 37 years in education under his belt, including 30 with the LVJUSD.
