Potsdam elementary principal steps down just months after accepting position, cites family reasons

Posted

POTSDAM —- Potsdam Central School is searching for a new principal for Lawrence Avenue Elementary.

Shannon Pitcher-Boyea has stepped down from the position she accepted earlier this spring citing family reasons, according to an email sent out to all elementary school parents.

Superintendent Joann Chambers “is working to find the best principal for Lawrence Avenue Elementary,” Pitcher-Boyea wrote.

The school may have an interim available to start as early as next week.

Chambers and A.A. Kingston Middle School Principal Mark Bennett will be assisting at the elementary school beginning next week.

Pitcher-Boyea lives in Malone. She came to Potsdam with 10 years of experience teaching elementary grades in Franklin County and seven and a half years in administrative posts, the last being principal at the elementary and middle schools in Keene.

She also served as special education supervisor for St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES.

She started the job July 9.
