Behind every thriving school system is a group of dedicated individuals working hard—often behind the scenes—to ensure students, families, and educators have the support they need to succeed.
This January, in celebration of School Board Appreciation Month, we proudly honor the Ingham ISD Board of Education for their leadership and service.
- President Michael Flowers
- Vice President Erin Schor
- Treasurer John Wolenberg
- Secretary Lori Zajac
- Trustee Caitlyn Salow
From policy decisions to strategic planning, these individuals guide the mission of Ingham ISD—making it possible to deliver responsive, equitable education across all 12 local districts. Their work impacts everything from early childhood and special education services to career readiness, family supports, and professional development for teachers.
School boards don’t always make headlines—but their impact is felt every day.
Thank you for helping shape brighter futures for every learner in our region.
