Moses Lake School District Names New Superintendent

There's a new superindependent at the Moses Lake School District after a months long search.

Monty Sabin will take over on July 1st from his previous job handling Operations for the North Thurston District.

Sabin is the permanent replacement for Josh Meeks, who was dismissed last August after an investigation found possible misuse of a district credit card.

The Moses Lake School District voted unanimously to offer the job to Sabin over Oroville Superintendent Jeffrey Hardesty, who was a co-finalist for the position.

In December, the district hired Liberty Lake based Northwest Leadership Associates to help find superintendent candidates.

“Sabin’s 25 years of experience aligns with the needs and objectives of MLSD,” said Moses Lake School Board Chair Kevin Fuhr. “He brings a strong background in leadership, community engagement, fiscal responsibility, and knowledge of building school facilities.”

The district is planning to schedule opportunities for students, parents, staff, and community members to meet Sabin in the coming months.

He earned his Superintendent Credential from Washington State University after completing his Masters in Educational Administration at Heritage College.

He previously completed his Teaching Certification at Central WA University. He completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Economics at Brigham Young University. Sabin has also been the superintendent in the Kittitas School District, and has served schools as a principal, assistant principal, teacher, and coach
