Evergreen Public Schools announced administrative changes at the district office and several school campuses.

As previously reported, Deputy Superintendent John Steach will replace retiring Superintendent John Deeder. Steach will assume his new job on Aug. 1.

The deputy superintendent will be replaced by a new position, the chief academic accountability officer, blending the district’s assessment department with district and school and improvement planning. Coeur d’Alene School District Superintendent Matthew Handelman will move from Idaho to take the position. He has been a teacher, principal and administrator in the Edmonds, Seattle and Spokane School Districts.

Burton Elementary School Principal Bonnie Webberly will retire and be replaced by Rebecca Chase, principal in the David Douglas School District in Oregon. Chase worked as a teacher and instructional coach at Sifton Elementary School in the Evergreen district for 12 years.

Janet Locascio, the district’s Early Childhood Special Services Coordinator, will oversee Home Choice Academy in addition to her current duties. She will replace Karen Weintraub, who is retiring.

Tilley Meyers, currently the associate principal at Pacific Middle School, will move to the same position at Shahala Middle School. Amanda MacDonald will move into the position after completing an administrative internship this year.

The district will add full-time associate principals at larger elementary schools rather than half-time associate principals splitting two schools. Lisa Angeley will be full-time at Image Elementary School instead of splitting time between Image and Sunset Elementary School. Tami Oppliger will go full-time at Endeavour Elementary School instead of splitting time between there and Crestline Elementary School. Mischel Dally will be at Pioneer Elementary School full-time instead of splitting time between that school and Sifton Elementary School. Melissa Yeomans will add Sunset Elementary School to her associate principal job while serving in the same capacity at Mill Plain Elementary School. Nick Hanson, currently an associate principal with Vancouver Public Schools, will serve as associate principal at Crestline and Sifton.
