Special Announcement!

Jennifer Sandland and David Goldenberg Named
2012-13 Orange County Teachers of the Year

Peters Canyon Elementary School third-grade teacher Jennifer Sandland and Beckman High School history/social science teacher David Goldenberg have been selected as two of five Orange County Teachers of the Year by the Orange County Department of Education. It is the first time in TUSD history that two Tustin Teachers of the Year have been named Orange County Teachers of the Year at the same time. The announcement was made today (Monday, May 7) at the teachers’ schools. Orange County Superintendent of Schools William Habermehl, TUSD Superintendent Dr. Gregory Franklin, Board President Jonathan Abelove, Board Member Francine Scinto, Tustin Public Schools Foundation Executive Director Carol Burby Garrett and District Office administrators joined the surprise visits. Jennifer and David are the fifth and sixth Tustin Unified teachers, respectively, in over 10 years to be named Orange County Teachers of the Year. They will represent the county in the 2012-13 California Teachers of the Year program. They will also be recognized at the annual Orange County Teachers of the Year dinner in the fall and featured in a documentary about the Teacher of the Year program, which will air on PBS SoCal and other local cable channels. Congratulations to Jennifer and David! They are a great representation of all the outstanding teachers in TUSD!
