Everett Public Schools serves a diverse and vibrant community, committed to ensuring every student feels valued, supported, and challenged. We focus on high-quality instruction, meaningful relationships, and inclusive practices that help students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Guided by a clear vision for the future, we partner with families and the community to inspire students to achieve and thrive and reach their full potential preparing them to succeed in school, career, and life.

The Everett Public Schools Board of Directors is a key part of the “public” in public education. The school board, district staff, and our community are partners for the community's children and their education. Schools and our community nourish each other; active citizen interest guarantees public schools' excellence. Five elected directors serve six-year terms, guiding district goals, policy, and budget approval, while the superintendent and staff execute the board’s directives.

Dr. Ian B. Saltzman has served as Superintendent of Everett Public Schools since 2019, leading a diverse urban district of approximately 20,000 students. Under his leadership, the district has undergone a major cultural shift, launched a new strategic plan, and strengthened its focus on student achievement. With more than 35 years in public education, Dr. Saltzman’s career reflects his commitment to equity, academic excellence, and building strong partnerships with families and communities.
