Education leader Anthony Limoges is poised to serve as the next superintendent of the Livermore school district, officials announced on Monday.
Selected unanimously by the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District Board of Education, Limoges is set to assume the helm July 1, pending successful contract negotiations. An employment agreement is scheduled to be presented as part of the board’s meeting on June 16.
Limoges will succeed Acting Superintendent Michelle Pechette, who assumed the temporary position in February following Torie Gibson’s abrupt departure.
“I am honored and humbled by the Board’s confidence in selecting me to serve as the next superintendent of the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District,” Limoges said in a statement. “As I begin this new role, my first priority will be listening and learning from our students, staff, families, and community members. Together, we will build upon the district’s many strengths, foster meaningful relationships, and ensure every student has the opportunities, support, and experiences they need to learn, grow, and thrive.”
Limoges brings to Livermore over 30 years of experience in the education sector.
Most recently, he has served as the associate superintendent of human resources for the past eight years at the Rocklin Unified School District. The Placer County TK-12 district is of similar size and demographics to LVJUSD, district officials said in a statement.
Prior to serving as the assistant superintendent, Limoges worked as the director of secondary education for Elk Grove Unified School District for four years. In this role, he oversaw the education and curriculum for a total of 24 middle and high schools.
He has also worked for over a decade as a middle school and high school administrator and eight years as a teacher of science and social studies, LVJUSD officials said.
Limoges is equipped with a doctorate in educational administration from the University of Southern California, according to district officials. Limoges has also earned both his master’s in educational administration and bachelor’s in secondary education and history.
“In addition to his diverse personal experiences and professional background, Dr. Limoges believes that trust, collaboration, integrity, and strong relationships are cornerstones of effective educational leadership,” Board President Steven Drouin said in a statement. “The Board shares these values and looks forward to partnering with him in service of our students, staff, and the Livermore community.”
Limoges was selected by the board with the support of the Alameda County Office of Education and input from community stakeholders, according to the district. The board is set to discuss a salary range for the incoming superintendent at its regular meeting on Tuesday (June 9).
