STAFF REPORT | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 3 years, 9 months AGO
OTHELLO — Former Moses Lake School District superintendent Josh Meek has been hired as the assistant principal at Othello High School. Meek was included on a list of new hires approved by the Othello School Board during its July 11 meeting.
“Yes, Dr. Meek has been hired as assistant principal at OHS,” wrote Ed Petersen, Othello School District director of communications, in response to an email from the Herald. Petersen did not comment further.
Meek left his position at MLSD in August 2021 after an investigation into allegations that he had used a district credit card in ways that didn’t meet district policies and other similar issues.
Meek has decades of experience in education including time as an assistant superintendent, high school principal, high school assistant principal, teacher and other roles.

Soap Lake: lake-focused groups not connected to city
SOAP LAKE — Soap Lake city officials issued a clarification Monday to ensure people know that three lake‑focused advocacy groups are not connected to the city's municipal government. In a statement, the city said the Soap Lake Conservancy, the Lake Liaison Committee and Save Soap Lake operate entirely independently and “are not affiliates, agencies, departments, or representative bodies of the City of Soap Lake in any capacity.” Both the Soap Lake Conservancy and the Lake Liaison Committee are non-profit organizations. All three groups focus on the health and preservation of Soap Lake, but the city said they have “no formal legal, organizational, or operational connection” to elected officials or city staff.
