Meridian School Board Recognized as Board of Distinction

A Message from Superintendent Dr. James Everett

I am excited to share that our School Board was recognized as a 2023 Board of Distinction by the Washington State School Directors’ Association (WSSDA). This is the first year that our School Board has received this recognition.

Meridian board members are Sara Bernardy, Steve Corwin, Marty Gray, Jarrod Karuza and Craig Mitchell.

Out of 295 school districts, 34 School Boards from around the state were recognized. WSSDA stated that all boards shared a common goal of student success. Each board had to demonstrate their strategies to understand student performance and create an environment that cultivates the success of both students and staff. The Boards of Distinction program began in 2009 and aligns with the Washington School Board Standards.

Please join me in congratulating our School Board on this prestigious honor!
