The Hood River County School District announced a pair of personnel moves. Chief Financial Officer Saundra Buchanan is retiring at the end of the month. Buchanan has been the district’s CFO for seven years, and has agreed to work back with the district as a retiree until a suitable replacement is found. Columba Jones was named interim principal at Hood River Valley High School to take over for Rich Polkinghorn, who moves into the district superintendent’s role on July 1. Jones has been an assistant principal at HRV since 2018, and prior to that was a teacher in the district and the principal at Stevenson Intermediate School in White Salmon.
