Wapato joins the 295 school districts in the state in commending its board of directors for the time and effort they contribute for the betterment of the greater Wapato community.
The current Wapato School Board of Directors include Maria Erickson, Sarah Divina, Lori Garcia, John Francisco and Lorenzo Alvarado. They are locally elected volunteers who serve 4-year terms.
Some of the main responsibilities of school boards are to set policy for the school district, approve district budgets and hire the superintendent.
