The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — Sheila
Roley, the superintendent
of Seaside School District
and former principal of

chosen to receive the Bev
Gladder Mentorship Award
at the annual Confeder-
ation of Oregon School
Administrators
(COSA)
conference, held at the
Seaside Civic & Conven-
tion Center in June.
Recipients of the award
are recognized for being
committed to mentoring
and supporting more than
one new or aspiring school
administrator, and for their
exemplary leadership, eth-
ics and professionalism.
Roley has mentored
administrators on the North
Coast for many years,
including
administrators
in the Seaside, Warrenton,
Knappa and Jewell School
districts. She has organized
a county-wide administra-
tors’ book study on leader-
ship books, and has orga-

administrator gatherings so
administrators in smaller
districts could have cama-
raderie, support and a lis-
tening ear.
