Sequoia Union High School District Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Todd Beal is resigning from his position effective June 30. Beal has been with the district since 2022 and says he is resigning due to the impacts his long daily commute is having on his health and time with family.
“This was not an easy decision, as I have deeply valued my time working for the Sequoia Union High School District and the collegial relationships I enjoy with the Sequoia team,” said Beal in a statement to this news organization.
Beal is currently involved in two lawsuits filed against SUHSD and its administrators. These include those filed by families suing over what they claim to be antisemitic lessons and behaviors in schools and an alleged wrongful termination of a former Woodside High School counselor.
Throughout 2024, negative public comments toward Beal have increased during school board meetings, calling out what they claim to be retaliatory behavior against staff. In August, the district sent a “stay away order” to public commenter and investigator Dan Molieri for making what some construed to be threatening statements directed to Beal during the meeting.
In the next four months, Beal said he will be working closely with his team in HR to ensure a smooth transition and to complete any outstanding projects. He will also be assisting with the recruitment and onboarding of the next assistant superintendent of human resources.
