The superintendent said she expected KTEC (the technical education consortium) “will be a 4 day school week” next year and noted the district may need additional cost savings even if a levy passes. She described potential benefits cited elsewhere, including longer instructional blocks at technical centers and the possibility of using Fridays for professional development or focused student supports.

Trustee Jones said bluntly, “I have no interest in it whatsoever,” arguing the move would cause hardship for working families and is not justified by the district’s stated goals. Other trustees raised a mix of concerns and questions: transportation implications (including whether single-route adjustments would require additional buses), impacts on child care for parents who work five days, whether the district could repurpose Fridays for professional development to reduce substitute costs, and how other districts’ experiences might translate locally.

Board members cited Post Falls’ multi‑year experience and savings; one speaker said Post Falls reported roughly $800,000 in savings and noted utility and ADA (average daily attendance) effects. Trustees asked staff to prepare a deeper, written analysis that would include transportation modeling and estimated fleet impacts, a clear summary of operational savings and costs, and community input. The superintendent proposed a rapid parent poll (yes/no) and said staff would report back at the Feb. 19 meeting with initial data.

No vote or policy change occurred. Trustees agreed to gather more information, with staff directed to return with transportation scenarios, financial estimates and a summary of community survey results before any formal action.

Hague said the tiles “are not a hazard” as long as they are not disturbed, noting that “asbestos has to be airborne to create a hazard.” He recommended sealing the tile and then installing a replacement surface rather than grinding or removing the tile, which can create airborne contamination during abatement work.

The board discussed two main replacement options: glue-down carpet tiles and vinyl plank flooring. Hague said vinyl plank is usually installed as a floating floor to allow for building expansion and contraction, but that some glue-down vinyl products exist; that factor will affect whether glue-down installation over sealed tile is viable. He also described carpet tiles as a practical classroom option because individual tiles can be pulled and replaced when stained.

Trustees and staff discussed moisture and cleaning practices that have previously caused glue failure and surface bubbling, including repeated water extraction during carpet shampooing. Hague said improving drying procedures — using fans, air movers, heat and dehumidifiers during cleaning — would reduce that risk. The facilities team recommended purchasing dehumidifiers for district use; staff estimated a unit cost of $1,500 and said two units would likely cover the district’s immediate needs.

Board members asked staff to price both the sealing-plus-surface approach and full abatement and to bring back cost comparisons and a recommended scope. Trustees also discussed reallocating previously budgeted carpet-replacement money (for Betty Keefer and other projects) to cover needed equipment or flooring if the board approves the sealing approach. One speaker noted industry practice favors avoiding disturbance when possible, and staff said sealing is considered best practice where airborne risk can be avoided.

No formal motion to change the abatement contract amount or to approve a specific flooring product was taken; staff were asked to return with firm prices and recommendations at a future meeting.

Hague and district staff said they would prepare cost estimates, scope options (seal + carpet tiles, glue-down carpet, or vinyl plank), and a list of equipment purchases (dehumidifiers and air movers) for a follow-up facilities workshop or the next regular meeting.

The board discussion included operational details and budget context but did not produce a final procurement vote.
