Incoming superintendent says he's 'done homework on Monroe'
MONROE — A longtime Washington state educator with experience leading districtwide response to racist incidents will take the top spot in the Monroe School District this summer.
After an all-day interview process Thursday, the school board unanimously selected Shawn Woodward to serve as the next permanent superintendent.
“We are excited to welcome Shawn to the Monroe community,” Board President Jennifer Bumpus said in a prepared statement. “The Board was incredibly impressed with his extensive experience that aligns with our needs. This was a difficult decision because of how deep our applicant pool was, and we feel strongly we have selected the best candidate to lead the Monroe School District.”
Woodward, 53, is expected to start July 1, after Interim Superintendent Marci Larsen finishes her term. Larsen’s contract extends through June 30, 2023, with the option to end sooner if she and the board agree.
