Governance edit

Board of directors edit

The district is governed by a board of five directors elected from geographical sub-districts. Each director is elected for a term of four years. Board meetings are open to the public held on the first and third Wednesday of each month.[4]

Superintendent edit

The superintendent serves as Secretary to the Board and provides day-to-day leadership and management to the district. South Kitsap School District has selected Bev Cheney, a former SKSD superintendent, to serve as interim for the 2012-13 school year after the previous superintendent, Dave LaRose, accepted a position as superintendent of Culver City (California) Unified School District.

The district hired Michelle Reid, 53, who is currently assistant superintendent of Port Angeles School District to replace Cheney after the 2012-13 school year. [5]

The district hired Tim Winter, superintendent of Clarkston School District since 2014, as a new superintendent in early 2019.[6]
