La Conner Board of Directors appoints Will Nelson as new Superintendent

The La Conner School District Board of Directors has appointed Mr. Will Nelson, current Director of Equity and Student Success in the Arlington School District, as the new superintendent beginning July 1, 2021, pending contract negotiations between the district and the candidate.

“We are looking forward to having Will Nelson join us as our next La Conner Superintendent,” said Susie Deyo, School Board President. “We believe Mr. Nelson is an innovative leader with the enthusiasm to move our district forward.”

The board of directors would like to thank the students, staff, and community for their participation and for taking the time to provide valuable feedback. We have created an LCSD email account for Mr. Nelson, wnelson@lc.k12.wa.us, if you would like to extend a warm welcome or congratulatory remarks to celebrate his upcoming work with the district as the incoming superintendent.

Will Nelson will replace Superintendent Rich Stewart, who was hired last year to serve on an interim basis while the district looked for a permanent superintendent.
