Megan Minier, a former REI business analyst and a graduate of Vashon High School, has been hired by the Vashon Island School District as its communications coordinator.

Minier replaces Anne Atwell, who held the position for three years. Her job — like Atwell’s, a part-time contract position — will entail a wide range of communications-related responsibilities, including the development of a plan for community engagement, website management and media relations.

Minier was raised on Vashon and is the mother of two young children, including one who attends Chautauqua Elementary School and another who will enter next fall. She said she’s pleased to have a job with the school district and on the Island.

“I look forward to working with parents,” she added.
