The Sequoia Union High School District has hired in a new assistant superintendent of administrative services to replace incumbent Christine Gong, who is retiring. Janea Marking will start her new position on Dec. 2.
Marking brings 20 years of experience working in public school districts across California and in Washington. Before joining SUHSD, she previously served as chief business and operations officer for the Sacramento City Unified School District. Marking also held leadership roles with the San Diego County Office of Education, Santa Ana Unified School District, South Bay Union School District and Highline Public Schools in Burien, Wash.
At SUHSD, Marking will be responsible for the district’s business, finance and operational departments.
“My experience in public education has led me to believe that thoughtful and transparent resource management creates the foundation for every student to thrive,” said Marking in a statement. “These are the values that will guide my work at Sequoia Union High School District.”
Marking holds a bachelor’s in philosophy, ethics and public policy from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a master’s in political science from Indiana University. She also holds a School Business Management Certificate from the University of Southern California.
“It is so clear to me that the team here cares deeply about doing right for kids, and I’m proud to be a part of that. So thank you so very much for this opportunity. I can’t wait to get started,” said Marking during the Oct. 29 board meeting.
“Her proven record of collaboration, strategic financial stewardship, and commitment to supporting student learning through strong, operational systems made her an outstanding fit for our district,” said Superintendent Crystal Leach.
