Lincoln  High School Principal on non-life threatening medical leave of absence

Lincoln High School Principal Jim Sporleder  is on leave of absence for a non-life threatening medical condition. There is  no timetable for Sporleder’s return, but he is hopeful to resume his duties  this school year. Lincoln High School Special Education teacher Marci Knauft,  who has a State of Washington administrative credential, is serving as the acting  principal in Sporleder’s absence.

Sporleder and district administrators have  collaborated with Knauft to ensure a successful transition of leadership.  Knauft was already planning to assist with the implementation of the new  teacher evaluation tool (TPEP) this school year. Lincoln High School staff members  have been notified and students will be briefed on the situation on the first  day of school.
