Peninsula College inks interim president contract

A contract for Brinton Sprague to serve as interim Peninsula College president has been approved by the Peninsula College Board of Trustees.

“We are happy to have you as our new interim president,” board Chairwoman Julie McCulloch, a Port Townsend businesswoman, told Sprague, who was in the audience at the Tuesday afternoon meeting.

Sprague, a retired community college leader now living in Port Ludlow, will take over after outgoing President Tom Keegan leaves in February and will oversee the transition to a new permanent president.

His contract says he will serve from Feb. 9 through June 30 and that he will be paid $59,195.
