After five years as superintendent of the Davis school district, John Bowes will be returning to Southern California, where he’s worked for much of his career in education.
In an announcement on the Davis school district’s website posted on Saturday, Bowes said that during at a special closed session school board meeting on Monday evening, “I informed our Board of Education that I have accepted a position as superintendent of the Manhattan Beach Unified School District and will be leaving the Davis school district on Aug. 6, 2021. It has always been a goal of mine to return to southern California in order to be closer to family.” Bowes will start as superintendent in Manhattan Beach on Aug. 9.
