Port Angeles school superintendent’s contract extended for year

PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles School Board has unanimously voted to extend Superintendent Jane Pryne’s contract by a year.

The action was taken as part of the consent agenda at Monday’s meeting.

The extension contained no changes to the contract or compensation, said Cindy Kelly, board president.

According to her contract, Pryne is paid $138,659 annually.

Pryne’s performance review hasn’t been officially scheduled but will be in either June or August, Kelly said.

Typically, if there is a change in compensation, that decision is made at the time of the performance review, she said.

Pryne moved to Port Angeles from Arizona, where she was superintendent of schools in the Continental School District and the 13,000-student Marana Unified School District, both located south of Tucson.

She also taught education classes for Northern Arizona University in Tucson during the past year.

Pryne received her doctorate in educational leadership from the University of Arizona in Tucson in May 2002, a master’s in special education with an emphasis on learning disabilities in August 1981 and a bachelor’s in elementary education in May 1977.
