The Shenandoah County School Board has officially approved the appointment of Sabrina Showe as the new Coordinator of Special Education. The decision was made during the board's meeting on July 9, and the position will take effect on July 20.

Showe steps into a role that oversees the district's special education programs, ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations while working to support students with disabilities and their families. The coordinator also collaborates with teachers, administrators, and support staff to develop individualized education plans and provide resources for inclusive learning environments.

School board members expressed confidence in Showe's experience and dedication to special education. Her background includes direct work with students and familiarity with the challenges facing rural school districts. The appointment comes as the district continues to focus on improving outcomes for all learners, particularly those requiring additional support.

Showe replaces the previous coordinator, who left the position earlier this year. The transition is expected to be smooth, with Showe already familiar with the district's operations. Parents and staff have been notified of the change, and the district plans to hold informational sessions in the coming weeks to introduce Showe and outline upcoming initiatives in special education.
