Julie Ownbey, a teacher at August Knodt Elementary School, died Tuesday from injuries sustained in a vehicle crash.
“We are deeply saddened by the death of one of our beloved teachers from August Knodt Elementary School,” Clark Burke, Manteca Unified School District superintendent, said.
In a statement, MUSD did not identify Ownbey by name out of privacy. But according to a report by the Pleasanton Weekly, Ownbey died in a solo-vehicle rollover crash along North Livermore Avenue outside the Livermore city limits on Tuesday evening.
“The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau identified the victim as 52-year-old Julie Ownbey, who died at the scene of the violent crash,” the Pleasanton Weekly said. “Her LinkedIn profile confirmed Ownbey worked as a fourth-grade teacher in the Manteca Unified School District.”
