Rich said the department supports roughly 40,000 devices, processed about 7,600 work orders in the past year and fields thousands of support calls. He described a near-complete district-wide hardware inventory and said staff machines and interactive panels are on a multiyear refresh schedule: staff machines will not need replacement for about four years, admin machines about five years, interactive panels seven years and wireless infrastructure roughly seven years before an upgrade is required.

On cybersecurity, Rich listed recent work to implement multifactor authentication (MFA), role-based access control, data encryption, regular backups with off-premise cloud storage, incident-response planning and regular audits and staff training. He told the board the district has invested in both on-site and cloud flash storage to shorten recovery time and said the new firewall (funded in part by e-rate and levy resources discussed in his remarks) remains a near-term priority.

Rich highlighted two pilot programs: a district-wide silent dismissal system and ParentVUE real-time bus tracking for elementary students. He described silent dismissal as a loop that will require enhanced parking-lot wireless coverage so parent-facing iPads can communicate with school systems. ParentVUE will use bus badges so elementary students will be badged on and off buses; drivers can badge students if necessary.

Rich also reviewed accomplishments including upgraded radio infrastructure, bus camera replacements in progress, access-control and camera reliability, and an active technology internship that hires Sumner students (he said four former interns have been hired into full-time district technology roles). Board members thanked Rich and asked follow-up questions about remaining cybersecurity work; Rich said the new firewall will further reduce risk and that monitoring and multiple backup locations were key safeguards.

No board action was taken; the presentation was provided for information.

Janet Oliver, who identified herself as a grandparent with three district grandchildren, told the board she was concerned about House Bill 1296 and said the legislation emphasizes gender-inclusive school policy. Oliver said that, in her view, \"more and more children, adolescents, are deciding to be a different gender opposite of the one they were born with\" and asked the district to ensure parents are included in conversations about students who express gender questions. \"Please provide parents with the transparency and inclusion that they clearly want and deserve,\" Oliver said.

Terry McCoy addressed the board on statutory timelines and district obligations. McCoy referenced \"Senate Bill 5462 of 2024\" (as stated in his remarks) and cited several Revised Code of Washington sections by number during his comments. He noted statutory deadlines discussed in his remarks, including a June 1, 2025 review requirement and an October 1, 2025 policy-conformance date mentioned in the statutes he quoted. McCoy said he was interested in how the district will meet statutory requirements, how parents will be involved, and how the district will handle any financial implications of implementing the changes.

Board President Kevin Lewis and district staff did not take formal action during the public-comment period; the board heard the comments and recorded them for consideration. The district later listed an instructional-materials recommendation for K–5 social-emotional learning and first readings of policy drafts on animals in instruction among information items on the agenda, but no changes to curriculum-selection policy were adopted at the meeting.

The public-comment speakers asked the board to prioritize parent participation and transparency as the district moves forward with any implementation required by state law.","Two public commenters urged the Sumner Bonney Lake School District board to ensure parental inclusion and transparency as the state adopts inclusive-curriculum requirements and as legislation on gender-related school policy draws public attention.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6591714,"Sumner Bonney Lake board approves standard annual resolutions, appoints two elementary principals and OKs architect agreement",1573,123000,1696000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3041291-eddc5c154fea351986ccdee9405f9807&start=123&end=1696","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3041291-eddc5c154fea351986ccdee9405f9807/thumbnail_123000.jpg","/articles/6591714/Washington/Sumner-Bonney-Lake-board-approves-standard-annual-resolutions-appoints-two-elementary-principals-and-OKs-architect-agreement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6591714-5db3ef578a74167bd85f9f60c9f32e46/orig.mp4?Expires=1777172835&Signature=ZnstxOmiL9AjTaqoJ5HPs4kRzHbt74mVTLo6zE3MsV4~4ePVxMpFd1QFNp9vAG93S00NJX-Ua0oqlh7kmF5wy1O4OjTcMdfF~TuVrlq~Xr-uzzjRDexYTlH556OoZLWMsqdXBzXYD~aQVI-9Zhzyp613Wi~cF4zm1fVdAPlwmLX4ppNuY-FG0CCU~8MECqxAUbdECoQY8IqE0WZ5~uKWt5wF7NJZt~1VUXyQ3u5MO8WrQO2v9gy8OrRFk0dhng9PMBVzhf3P~VWhna5gpz67ASWXozggFWLYrESHt7wfXZlDI4fhdtmDRp1r7~xQrhXLswHRm7ptSDByqhvJNaEbkg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sumner Bonney Lake School District Board of Directors on April 16 approved routine agenda and consent items, adopted a resolution authorizing a possible reduction in force, appointed two elementary principals and authorized an owner–architect agreement with McGranahan PBK for a Tehaleh school project.

Board President Kevin Lewis opened the meeting by asking for approval of the April 16 agenda and the consent agenda; both motions were approved by voice vote. Board members acknowledged recent donations to the district, including support from the Sumner Bonney Lake Education Foundation and an individual donor named Shelley Malham.

The board adopted Resolution No. 13/2425 authorizing a nonrenewal and reduction in force “if necessary.” The administration described the measure as an annual formality that gives the district authority to reduce staff if conditions require it; no specific staff reductions were announced.

The board also approved Resolution No. 14/2425 and authorized the superintendent to execute an owner–architect agreement engaging McGranahan PBK to provide architectural services for a Tehaleh school project described in the meeting as the \"Neuse Middle School in Tehaleh.\" Board members characterized the action as a step toward “shovels in the ground.”

In personnel business, the board welcomed Jill Dornan as the next principal at Crestwood Elementary and Sarah Thompson as principal at Donald Iseman Elementary. Superintendent Lori Dent and Executive Director of Elementary Schools Ellie McDaniel introduced both appointees and noted their prior experience in neighboring districts and in district schools.

Also on the agenda were information items and first readings: an instructional-materials recommendation for a K–5 social-emotional learning resource (listed as Purposeful People) and first readings of new policy drafts about animals as part of instructional programs (Policy 2029 and form 2029-F1). Those items were presented for first reading and information only; no board action was taken.

The meeting concluded with information reports, including a facilities asset preservation annual report and a quarterly public records transparency report from general counsel Abigail Westbrook. The board announced its next regular meeting for May 21, 2025, and stated it would convene an executive session on potential litigation following the public meeting.

Votes at a glance: all motions recorded in the public portion of the meeting were approved by voice vote. The meeting record does not show roll-call tallies in the transcript excerpt provided.","The Sumner Bonney Lake School District board held its April 16 meeting and approved routine agenda and consent items, adopted a nonrenewal/reduction-in-force resolution as a formality, appointed two elementary principals and authorized an owner–architect agreement with McGranahan PBK for a Tehaleh school project.","actionData","errors"]
