New Director of Fiscal Services

Walla Walla Public Schools Fiscal Manager Nancy Taylor has been promoted to Director of Fiscal Services. Taylor replaces Pat Johnston who came out of retirement to serve an interim role to allow time for an extensive search process. Taylor has been employed by Walla Walla Public Schools for 11 years. Prior to her fiscal manager position, Nancy most recently served as the district's fiscal coordinator. Prior to Walla Walla, Taylor was employed in the Issaquah School District for 14 years in various business and operational administrative support positions.

“Nancy has been an integral part of the Business Office for many years,” said Pat Johnston, Interim Business Manager. “Her knowledge and skills have served the District well and she is the best person to take over the leadership of this important function for Walla Walla Public Schools.”

Taylor will begin the transition to her new role immediately, assuming full responsibility in May.

"We are so fortunate to have someone of Nancy's caliber already on staff and who is eager to assume the awesome responsibility expected from the position," notes Superintendent Wade Smith. "Nancy's expertise, ethics, and career demonstrate a commitment towards transparency and accountability in safeguarding the public's resources."
