ESD 112
ESD 112January 13, 2026 at 5:44pm
In honor of School Board Recognition Month, we are shining a spotlight on each of the dedicated volunteer Board Members serving ESD 112. Today, we recognize Susan Barker, who was appointed in February of 2023 to represent District 1, which includes Green Mountain, La Center School District, Kalama School District, Woodland Public Schools, and parts of Battle Ground Public Schools and Kelso School District.

We asked Susie what being on the ESD 112 Board of Directors means to her. She shared:
“My membership on the ESD 112 Board of Directors is driven by a desire to support and protect public education. For me, the time spent participating with the board to provide equitable opportunities for the children of our area is my small contribution to those efforts.”

She continues, “The words of Margaret Mead seem particularly relevant at this time in history and remain incredibly important:
‘Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.’

To this end, I am honored to serve.”

In addition to serving on the ESD 112 Board, she is also a board member for Columbia Wellness, Cowlitz County’s mental health agency. Thank you, Susie, for your dedication to ESD 112!
