DistrictRealignsAdministrators

The LaBrae Board of Education, ever conscious of aligning district staffing to resource levels, voted at its April meeting to realign the district's administrative team by reassigning two certified administrators.

The district has always tried to right-size staffing to changing student enrollment when presented with retirements. With the retirement of Mrs. Suzelis, the LaBrae Intermediate School principal, the time has come for LaBrae to reduce administrative staffing levels. As a result, the Board conducted a reduction in force, or RIF, of the assistant high school principal position, and subsequently approved the reassignment of Mr. Kelly and Mr. Rowe.

Starting with the 2023-2024 school year, Mr. Martin Kelly, longtime principal at LaBrae Middle School, will serve as principal of LaBrae Intermediate School and Mr. Todd Rowe, LaBrae High School assistant principal/athletic director, has been reassigned to the middle school principal position.

Additionally, the Board had previously employed a Supervisor of Transportation/Building and Grounds. After careful evaluation of that role and the responsibilities, the Board decided to move forward with hiring a sole supervisor of transportation. The LaBrae Board of Education hired Carole Misinay as the Transportation Supervisor on a three-year administrative contract. Ms. Misinay has previously served the district as a custodian and a bus driver.
