Meridian Public Schools Honors School Board Members for Annual Recognition Month
“In another year full of challenges for public education, our school board members persevered through the adversity of 2022 to provide the best possible education for our students,” said Interim Superintendent Sarah Glann. “Celebrating School Board Recognition Month is one of the very small ways to express appreciation for all they do. Too often, the efforts of school board members go unrecognized .”
Meridian Public School's Board of Education is composed of seven members:
Michael Bowen - President, 28 1/2 years of service, Stephen Grubaugh - Vice President, 6 years of service, Rebecca Hitsman - Treasurer, 11 years of service,
Dennis Cole - Secretary, 21 1/2 years of service, Kristina Brawt - Trustee, 3 1/2 years of service, Megan Clark - Trustee, 2 years of service, Janice Goodall - Term ended 12/31/2022 after 9 yrs of service, and Jennifer Holzinger - Newly Elected Trustee as of 1/01/2023
We thank you and appreciate you!

Good Morning Mustangs,
The FCC has created a national broadband map that displays where internet services are—and are not—available across the United States, as reported by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the FCC’s ongoing Broadband Data Collection. This map (https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov) will be used to help determine future broadband expansion efforts and billions in grant funding to close the digital divide. Please consider checking the accuracy at your home address, as well as neighbors, family, friends, etc. If you find any inaccuracies, you can submit a location challenge through the website before the January 13, 2023 deadline.
Thank you
