As the Meridian Public School District focuses on excellence and improved test scores, changes are taking place on individual campuses.
Interim School Superintendent Sylvia Autry said there is more shifting of positions in the district this year than usual.
She said most of the changes in the district were voluntary. Here's a look at what will be different in Meridian schools in the fall.
Robert Markham left his position as principal at Carver Middle School to become deputy superintendent of Meridian Public Schools.
