Eatonville approves funding for community track and chess team state championship trip

Eatonville School Board made significant strides during their special meeting on February 7, 2025, approving key initiatives that promise to enhance student facilities and support extracurricular activities.

The board unanimously approved a motion to proceed with the Eatonville Community Track and Field project, partnering with AstroTurf through a competitive bidding process. This decision marks a pivotal step in improving athletic facilities for students, with the superintendent authorized to negotiate the contract.

In another important move, the board revised a contract with ESD 113 to ensure continued special services for students requiring physical therapy. This amendment is crucial, especially after the district temporarily lost its PTU services, ensuring that students receive the necessary support.

Additionally, the board celebrated the achievements of the Eatonville High School chess team, approving their travel to the state championship. This marks the team's second consecutive year qualifying for the state competition, with funding sourced from ASB funds allocated for postseason events.

The meeting concluded with a sense of accomplishment, as board members expressed their commitment to enhancing educational and extracurricular opportunities for students in the Eatonville School District.
