Pullman schools introduce new elementary principals for Kamiak and Franklin

The Pullman Public Schools board on June 25 formally heard introductions of two new elementary principals named by Superintendent Bob Maxwell.

"Cheyenne is now ready to take over the reins as principal at Kamiak Elementary," Maxwell said, introducing Cheyenne Weber to the board. Weber told the board she and her family moved to Pullman because they wanted a smaller community and described working across three elementary schools as assistant principal. "I absolutely have fallen in love with this community," Weber said.

Superintendent Maxwell also introduced Liz Pavlik as the new principal at Franklin Elementary. "I'm excited to be here," Pavlik told the trustees, summarizing her background in elementary instruction, special education endorsement and school administration in Minnesota.

Nut graf: The introductions were presented as the superintendent's report items and were informational; no board action on the hires was recorded in the June 25 meeting transcript. Both new principals gave short remarks about their backgrounds, commitment to community engagement and plans to begin work with staff and families.

Weber discussed her path to Pullman and early experiences in the district, including time at multiple elementary sites and a prior start-year at Kamiak: "I had the opportunity the past two years as assistant principal to be at three elementary schools... I'm so excited to be at Kamiak, especially since I, you know, started there." Pavlik summarized her credentials—two master's degrees (literacy and administration), classroom experience from kindergarten through fifth grade and previous principal experience—and said she looks forward to building relationships in Pullman.

The board thanked both administrators and invited them to stay for the meeting; Superintendent Maxwell closed the report and moved to other business.

Ending: The introductions were recorded as part of the superintendent's report; any formal personnel actions (contracts, effective dates) were not detailed in the published meeting transcript and would appear in consent items or personnel reports as required by district policy.
