CHELAN - At last night’s (Jan. 11) board meeting, Barry DePaoli announced his retirement.  Barry has spent 35 years in the education profession, 22 of those in the Lake Chelan School District.
In his retirement letter that he read to the Board, he stated that “it has been a privilege to work with some of the brightest, most compassionate, and highly committed administrators, teachers, staff, and students”.  
He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to provide leadership at both the building and the district level. Perhaps his greatest reward was the fact that he got to know so many amazing young people. He commented that “having a front row seat watching students grow and reach for their goals was the gift of a lifetime.”
He also thanked past and present Board members for their insights, advocacy and support and for providing him with the opportunity to develop as a District leader.  
Barry’s last day will be June 30 of this school year.
