Sherry Phay

Coupeville School Board Director Sherry Phay is resigning, with plans to step down after the July board meeting.

That meeting is where the 2024-2025 budget is slated to be voted on.

Phay, who is the board’s legislative representative, is the longest-serving member of the current five-person setup.

She is in her second term and ran unopposed for reelection in 2021.

The mother of two, who is a Registered Nurse and competitive powerlifter in her non-school board life, released the following statement on Facebook.

This was not a spur of the moment, reactive decision.

There was deep reflection and consideration, along which comes deep emotion.

Like every vote I’ve ever made while on this board, the decision was made with integrity and thoughtfulness of the results in order to be able to be steadfast in my decision.

This decision could and should be interpreted as faith and confidence in the remaining board, new leadership and current leaders in our district.

Change doesn’t happen overnight, and I am heartened to have observed, over the years, a school district that is growing in its advocacy for themselves and a community, that has always wrapped our students with support, dive deeper in helping CSD in reaching its full amazing potential.

While there is still quite a bit of work to do in the next month, I am looking forward to our future and continuing to be part of that process albeit in a different role (parent, community member, taxpayer, voter).

Thank you SO much Coupeville School District and voters.
