Stine to leave San Bernardino County school board
San Bernardino County Board of Education member David Stine announced he will not seek re-election after 21 years on the board.
Stine has played an active role in education for 50 years, including as principal at Chaffey High in Ontario from 1984 to 1988.
"After careful consideration and with a great deal of ambivalence, I have decided not to run for re-election in November," Stine, 74, said. "My decision to make the early announcement is because I wanted to give ample time for someone who wanted to run."
The announcement was made at Monday's board meeting.
San Bernardino County has a five-member Board of Education. Trustees are elected to serve four-year terms, with each trustee representing a portion of the county.
Stine represents Area B, comprising Alta Loma, Central, Etiwanda, Mt. Baldy Joint, Ontario-Montclair and Upland Unified school districts.
"I think he represented this area very well," said Jim Kidwell, deputy superintendent of human resources at Ontario-Montclair School District. "He's often come over and talked to me about programs, and I've appreciated him keeping us informed about what's happening in the county."
"His expertise on how schools run and his advice will be missed by those he's worked with," Kidwell said.
Stine has served seven years as the chairman of the Department of Educational Leadership and Curriculum at Cal State San Bernardino and is continuing to teach graduate courses in educational administration at CSUSB and Brandman College on a part-time basis.
Stine lives in Upland with his wife, Deborah, who is a professor at Cal State San Bernardino. The two are working on a book about educational ethics in California.
