Dan Devoy joined the Board of Trustees in March 2022. He and his wife were both born and raised on the peninsula and moved to Burlingame in 2017. They have two children. One child is currently enrolled in the Burlingame School District and the other will join in a few years.
 

Dan grew up attending public schools in the neighboring town of San Carlos and volunteered for military service in the Army upon high school graduation. He served two enlistments in the Army, including an 18-month deployment as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Upon completion of military service, Dan obtained his law degree and began his career as a civil litigator. Later, he created his own private practice with an emphasis in real estate law. For the last eight years, Dan has been a Professor of Law at Golden Gate School of Law in San Francisco, where he teaches Civil Procedure, Evidence, and Internet Torts. He is also the founding Director of the law school’s Veterans’ Clinic, which provides pro bono representation to disabled military veterans, and military members that were discriminated against by the government based on race, ethnicity, or LGBTQ+ status.
 

Dan is committed to providing a well-rounded education to all students and preparing them to succeed in high school, and begin the path towards their higher education. Dan’s focus is to ensure Burlingame schools maintain their excellent achievement record while maintaining fiscal discipline that will allow future Burlingame students to enjoy the same great education system we have today.
