One man, two school districts.
Mike Pruyne has been hired as the new Director of Technology for the Coupeville School District, pending school board approval, but he’ll split his time between Cow Town and its neighbor to the North.
That’s because he currently works for the Oak Harbor School District as their Assistant Director/Network.
Thanks to an interlocal agreement between the two districts, Pruyne will serve half time at each job.
“This arrangement gives our district access to experienced, dedicated technology leadership in a cost-effective and sustainable way — and is a great example of neighboring districts working together for the benefit of all students,” said Coupeville Superintendent Shannon Leatherwood.
Pruyne replaces Will Smith, who recently resigned after eight years on the job.
Like his predecessor, the new hire is a retired U.S. Navy veteran.
“Mike brings a wealth of experience to our community,” Leatherwood said. “He brings discipline, dedication, and deep expertise to everything he does — and we are fortunate to have him supporting our students, staff, and families.
“Mike will be working alongside our team to provide technology support across our district — from the devices and tools our students use every day to the systems that keep our schools running smoothly.
“Families can expect to hear more from Mike as he gets settled in and begins connecting with our school community.”
