At celebration’s end, a blue-ribbon committee of past honorees named Jeanette Starring, a third-grade teacher in Vallejo City Unified, and Dave Candelo, a facilities and maintenance coordinator for SCOE, as top educator and classified employee, respectively.

In a press release, a spokeswoman for SCOE, Jennifer Leonard, said Starring, a teacher at Dan Mini Elementary, where she teaches multiple subjects, has been teaching for 30 years, 10 in her current job.
