McKinley Elementary School's new principal is in place, ensuring a smooth transition for the school. The Board of Education voted unanimously last night to appoint Dr. Ginger Vail as the new school chief beginning July 1. Vail comes to Fairfield from Altlanta, GA where she served as a principal in the public school system. Before that she was a special education coordinator and assistant principal in Corte Madera, CA. Vail obtained her doctorate from the University of San Francisco and undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia. Vail was introduced to the Board by Anna Cutaia-Leonard, Director of Elementary Education. What I heard from the search committee iswe want someone who loves McKinley as much as we do. Weve found that person.
Vail attended the BOE meeting with her husband and daughter, a kindergartener. I am so impressed by everyone Ive met here and I look forward to being part of the Fairfield team, Vail said. Vail replaces Dr. Dale Bernardoni who is retiring at the end of the school year. ?
