Baum leaving Liberty (Spangle) for new post
ROSALIA – Brett Baum is leaving the Liberty School District in Spangle to become the new Rosalia schools superintendent.
The district board made the decision March 25.
“It took them a long time in executive session discussing the candidates,” outgoing Rosalia Superintendent Rick Linehan said. “I think that they like that he’s a guy who can give his all for the community.”
Baum is currently the Liberty superintendent.
The district serves 520 students from Spangle, Fairfield, Latah, Waverly Plaza and Mount Hope. He is a former Okanogan School District administrator who left to work for Liberty in 2019.
The part-time Rosalia School District superintendent position serves 170 students in grades K-12.
He starts July 1 and will be working with Linehan to transition into the position.
“I think he will be a good addition to the staff as a leader of the Rosalia School District,” Linehan said. “He will do a real good job.”
Bill Stevenson is a retired editor of the Whitman County Gazette, Colfax Daily Bulletin and Franklin Connection. He had nearly 30 years of journalism experience covering news in Eastern Washington.
