A6 • Friday, May 14, 2021 | Seaside Signal | SeasideSignal.com Brown: ‘We all work as one big team to move students forward’ Continued from Page A1 “I have a really varied position, which is really fun for sure,” she said. Yet, the job has “become so much bigger than half time.” That is part of the reason she is leaving a year ear- lier than planned. It enables the school district to create a full-time assistant super- intendent of curriculum and instruction to address these growing duties and responsibilities. “It’s a great opportunity for the district and will help us as we work to achieve the goals of the strategic plan,” Brown said. “I am happy to move aside so that the someone can be in place full time for next fall.” Additionally, Brown is retiring — for good this time, she adds — because she feels ready to pur- sue other activities and focuses. “I still love doing my job, and it has been an honor to serve the families of the Seaside district, but I also want to do things like spend more time with grandchil- dren, and take some trips, read some books,” she said. She anticipates commu- nity service will also be part of her retirement. She serves on the board of Con- sejo Hispano, formerly the Lower Columbia Hispanic Council. Brown feels the school district is in good hands under Superintendent Susan Penrod, and she’s enjoyed the collaborative eff orts of her fellow educators. “We all work as one big team to move students for- ward and support them in their education,” she said. Additionally, several of the projects relating to equity, teaching strategies and educational excellence that Brown helped spear- head are being done with the help of outside consul- tants who can help a small district move forward. Because of that, she has confi dence they will con- tinue to progress under the future administrator. “Those are things that meet our strategic plan goals,” she said.

Providence Seaside Clinic to offer J&J vaccine Providence Seaside Clinic is hosting a com- munity clinic Saturday, May 15, offering the J&J vaccine.
