Board Members

Each board member works with the other members of the board and in partnership with the superintendent, who carries out the board’s vision and direction. Decision-making authority is vested in the school board as a whole – individual proposals are adopted only when a majority of the board approves them.

Emails that you would like sent to School Board Members, may be sent to Cindy Miller at millerc@nwasco.k12.or.us  for distribution.
