New school leaders named
Everett School District board members approved two new principals at its March 22 meeting.
Catherine Matthews is to take the helm at the 1,600-student Everett High School next year. She currently is principal at Lakewood High School, which enrolls about 700 students.
Meanwhile, Tobias Brenner was recommended for the principal’s post at the 400-student Jefferson Elementary School. Brenner currently is a vice principal in the Lake Washington School District.
A principal for Penny Creek Elementary School has not yet been found. An interim principal continues serving there in the meantime.
Northshore saves taxpayers millions
Taxpayers will save more than $8.4 million thanks to Northshore School District’s decision to again refinance outstanding bonds originally issued in 1997 and 2002 and repay some of its outstanding debt.
The school board approved the action at its March 8 meeting.
The district took advantage of the favorable market conditions and obtained a much lower interest repayment rate on the bonds. At the same time the district used some additional debt-service funds to repay more of its debt.
The resulting actual dollar savings will not increase district revenues but will go back to the local taxpayers in the form of reduced taxes.
