Brian Gianello
The Coupeville School District has lost one of its linchpins.
Brian Gianello, who worked tirelessly as Director of Finance and Human Resources, has resigned after two-and-a-half-years in the positions.
The affable money man, who was hired in July of 2023, has been at the forefront of the district’s budget work.
In a “Wolfpack Family/Community News” newsletter sent out Tuesday, Superintendent Shannon Leatherwood said:
Coupeville School District is conducting a search for a Director of Business and Finance following the recent resignation of Brian Gianello.
This position oversees financial operations, budget management, and business services that support our students and schools.
We have strong interim leadership in place to ensure continuity during this transition, and all district operations continue smoothly.
If you know a qualified professional who might be interested in serving our community in this important role, please share this opportunity with them.
Gianello held the same positions in the La Conner School District from 2021-2023 before being hired by previous Coupeville Superintendent Steve King.
An email sent to his work address Monday bounced back with the reply “I am currently out of the office, and all emails will be forwarded.”
The School Board is scheduled to hold its monthly business meeting next Thursday, Dec. 18, and Gianello’s resignation is expected to be included on the agenda.
