Kent School District is honoring school board members this month as a part of School Board Recognition Month proposed by Governor Christine Gregoire.

“We have a wonderful group of board members and they selflessly give their time to serve our students and community every day,” said Dr. Edward Lee Vargas, superintendent.

The KSD Board of Directors will be recognized at the Jan. 23 meeting. Community, staff, students and parents are invited to attend the reception beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the lobby area of building A on the administration campus, located at 12033 SE 256th St.

The Kent-Meridian Symphonics Orchestra will be playing during the reception to honor the board.

The board meeting will begin at 7 p.m. with recognition of the board by several schools.
