Interim Superintendent LaShakia Moore announces Bunnell Elementary School Principal Marcus Sanfilippo will move to the District Office as Coordinator of Special Projects. In this role, he will be an important liaison between the variety of instructional-based departments within the District Office, our school leaders, and the community.
“Marcus has been a mentor and valued colleague to so many people within Flagler Schools that it just makes sense for us to tap into his knowledge and have him share it with all our campuses,” says Mrs. Moore.
Mr. Sanfilippo, the current Principal of the Year for Flagler Schools, says, “I have made some great friends at Bunnell Elementary School over the past seven years. But I am excited to take what I’ve learned here and have the chance to touch all our schools in the district.”
With the shift to the district office, Mrs. Moore is recommending that Donelle Evensen, the current Assistant Principal of the Year for Flagler Schools, become the next principal at Bunnell Elementary School. It means moving offices about two dozen steps across a hallway.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Donelle and watching her grow as an educator and a leader,” says Interim Superintendent Moore. “She was a very strong candidate for a previous open principalship in our District, so I am confident she is ready to take on the role of principal at BES.”
“I am humbled,” responds Evensen. “The last four years here have been a growing experience for me. We have accomplished so much as a team. I’m excited to be able to stay here, and I’m excited to see a lot of plans we’ve started to put into place here at Bunnell come to fruition for our students, families, and staff.”
Sanfilippo and Evensen will be working through a transition period before the start of the 2023-24 school year, which begins August 10th.
