The Coupeville School Board voted Thursday to extend Superintendent Shannon Leatherwood’s contract an additional year.
The new contract covers July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2029.
Voting was 4-0, with board member Chic Merwine absent after leaving mid-meeting to deal with a family matter.
The board previously voted in June 2025 to extend Leatherwood through 2028 and gave her a raise at that time from $194,704 to $200,604.
Leatherwood, who replaced Steve King in 2024, was previously the Principal at Spanaway Middle School, where she was named the 2023 Washington State Secondary Principal of the Year.
She has a Master of Education degree from Gonzaga University and a Bachelor of Education from Saint Martin’s University and later continued her education through Central Washington University and Washington State University.
