Bye bye to another principal

Julie Ales, the inaugural principal at Monte Vista Elementary in the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District is no longer at the school. Her last day was Oct. 26.

On Monday, the MPUSD board of trustees will hold a special meeting, and appointing a principal for an elementary school district is on the agenda.

Monte Vista was reopened this year as part of a district reorganization to maximize resources and making grade levels more consistent across Marina, Seaside and Monterey. As part of the reorganization, MPUSD officials closed Bay View Elementary and transferred the students to Monte Vista.

Parents who were unhappy with the decision to close Bay View opened their own charter school, the Bay View Academy. The inaugural principal of that school was also let go this month, and John Favero, former administrator at the Salinas Union High School District, was appointed interim principal.
