Erica McColl
It’s a game of musical chairs.
Erica McColl, who was hired as the assistant principal at Coupeville Middle and High School this fall, is moving down the street to become the interim principal at the elementary school.
She replaces David Ebersole, who is retiring as of Oct. 31.
McColl’s current position will be filled on an interim basis by Special Services Director Allyson Cundiff.
And who replaces Cundiff in her current job, at least on an interim basis?
That will be announced soon, said Coupeville Schools Superintendent Shannon Leatherwood, who expressed her gratitude to all involved.
It starts with Ebersole, who has been a very popular leader at CES.
“After many years of dedicated service, Mr. Ebersole has made the decision to retire,” Leatherwood said.
“We are grateful for his contributions to our school district and wish him all the best in his retirement.
“Please join us in expressing our appreciation for his years of service.”
His interim replacement, McColl, came to Coupeville from Anacortes, and has prior experience at the elementary level as both a counselor and paraeducator.
“Erica brings a strong commitment to student belonging and happiness and will be a valuable asset to our leadership team,” Leatherwood said.
Cundiff offers “a wealth of experience both within our district as our Special Services Director and as a principal in a neighboring district.
“She will continue to provide exceptional leadership and support to our students and staff,” Leatherwood added.
“We congratulate Erica and Allyson on their new roles and are confident in their ability to lead our schools.”
