In case you missed this wonderful day, the kids had an amazing time! There were so many great events all day that fired up curiosity and learning.

For the fifth year in a row, applications have increased to the Boards of Distinction Program organized by the Washington State School Directors’ Association (WSSDA). This year, 37 school boards applied compared to 34 last year.

“Awarded or not, for a board to go through this exercise of reviewing their decision-making and looking at how that is tied to positive outcomes in a school district is extremely valuable work,” said Tricia Lubach, WSSDA’s director of leadership development. “In my book, that’s already a win for students, so I highly commend every single board that applied to the Boards of Distinction program.”
