students achieve at high levels and possess the knowledge and skills to be responsible members
of a democratic society and enjoy productive and satisfying lives; and

WHEREAS, Washington’s 295 locally-elected school boards of directors and nine
elected educational service district (ESD) boards are the core of the public education governance
system in our state; and

WHEREAS, the districts and regions they lead serve more than 1.1 million students, have
a combined annual budget of over $20 billion and employ approximately 125,345 people; and

WHEREAS, school directors play a crucial role in promoting student learning and
achievement by creating a vision, establishing policies and budgets and setting clear standards of

accountability for all involved; and

WHEREAS, school directors are directly accountable to the residents in their districts

WHEREAS, school directors and ESDs provide a passionate voice of advocacy for
public schools and the welfare of school children; and

servants and champions for public education;
