Zoë Nelsen spent the past three years learning the administrative ropes at Monte del Sol Charter School.
It is an education that should serve her well when she transitions to a new job next fall as the schoolâs head learner. Monte del Solâs Governing Board on Dec. 8 hired Nelsen, the assistant head learner, to replace Robert Jessen, who is stepping down at the end of this school year.
Jessen said he is resigning to explore other opportunities.
Nelsen said her experience at the state-run charter school â as both assistant head learner and assistant director of the schoolâs mentorship program from 2010-14 â helped her better understand the schoolâs culture and develop a strong relationship with teachers and staff.
