Coupeville students are losing a tireless advocate.
Glenda Merwine, who has been on the school board since 2013, is leaving a year before her term ends.
Her resignation was tendered at Monday’s board meeting and is effective Dec. 1.
Merwine’s replacement, when named, will serve out her term, with the position up for election in 2023.
Initially appointed to replace the departing Carol Bishop in Jan. 2013, Merwine formerly served as the Coupeville Elementary School principal and the district’s Director of Student Learning.
A leadership coach for the Association of Washington School Principals, she also supervises student teachers for Seattle Pacific University and the University of Phoenix.
Merwine is the board’s current Vice President.
