I understand that many of you may have questions about what comes next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>District Leadership Transition<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beginning July 1, the district will have stable and experienced leadership, with Dr. Kurt Harvill assuming the role of interim superintendent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Harvill has been with the district since 2011. Prior to joining Meridian, he taught social studies at Mount Vernon High School for 13 years, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">w<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here he also served as a dean of students and a wrestling coach. During his time at Meridian, Dr. Harvill has held several leadership roles, including assistant principal, athletic director, director of personnel, and most recently, assistant superintendent. He earned his Doctorate in Education from Western Washington University in August 2025. Dr. Harvill brings deep institutional knowledge, strong relationships and a student-centered approach to his leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have had the privilege of working closely with Dr. Harvill for many years, both as a colleague and a trusted friend. I am confident the district will be in good hands during this transition, and that he will continue to prioritize what is best for students, staff and families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Harvill would like to hear from staff, families and community members. If you have a moment, please <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/meridiansd.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_0rH3MVMpXv3EErs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">complete this brief survey.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>School Leadership and Staff Updates<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of April, we informed staff that a reduction\u2011in\u2011force (RIF) would not be required for the upcoming year. This outcome was achieved through careful budget reductions in materials and supplies, a deliberate focus on staff retention, and internal transfer requests and attrition. Below are staffing updates for next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Irene Reither Elementary (IRE)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earlier this week, we shared with the IRE community that Assistant Principal Nate Beede has accepted a social studies teaching position at Meridian Middle School for next school year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next year, IRE will be supported by two assistant principals. Rebecca Kratzig, Dean of Instruction, and Holly Li, Multilingual Learner Specialist and Administrative Intern, will serve in these roles. Mrs. Kratzig earned her administrative credentials from the University of Washington\u2019s Danforth Educational Leadership Program in June 2025. Mrs. Li is currently earning her administrative credentials at City University of Seattle, with completion expected in June 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Mrs. Kratzig and Mrs. Li step into these new roles, due to budget considerations, we are not filling the positions they are leaving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Meridian Middle School (MMS) and Meridian High School (MHS)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MMS social studies teacher Kristin Garlatz and school counselor Brett Muskavage will join MHS next year, filling vacancies created by the retirements of Steve Lawrence and Don McMains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We thank both Mr. Lawrence and Mr. McMains for their dedication to MHS and wish them all the best in retirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to both budgeting considerations and enrollment levels at the middle school, next school year, MMS will have one school counselor. We will continue to have a mental health professional at IRE, MMS and MHS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Superintendent Search Process<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The school board will initiate a superintendent search process in the fall. The board will determine whether to partner with a search firm or conduct the process internally. Regardless of the approach, staff, families, students and community members will have opportunities to provide feedback and input, and I strongly encourage participation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, superintendent openings are posted during the winter, with interviews and selection occurring in early spring. The board will oversee the entire process and make the final hiring decision for Meridian\u2019s next superintendent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a reminder, we have a vacancy for Director District 4.
