Revolinski said changes to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction’s grant structures could result in a potential loss of about $1,900,000 in future funding for the district, noting impacts on support for homeless students and on expansion funding for transition‑to‑kindergarten programs. At the same time she said several other provisions should increase district revenue: a change in special education funding that switches from tiered excess cost multipliers to a single multiplier will reduce the safety‑net application threshold and extend services through the school year a student turns 22, which she estimated could add about $3,100,000 for Everett next year.

Revolinski also described an increase to the per‑student Materials, Supplies & Operating Costs (MSOC) allocation that she said should add about $850,000 annually to Everett, and a per‑student levy‑lid increase phased to just over $5,000 per student by 2031 that she said would yield roughly $3,300,000 next year for the district depending on the local levy outcome. She told the board the legislature produced “nearly 2,500,000,000 in funding increases” overall for K–12 in this budget cycle, and that the governor was expected to sign the bill before May 21.

Revolinski said the package also froze expansion funding for transition‑to‑kindergarten in the near term and gave districts more flexibility about types of student transportation vehicles beyond standard yellow buses. She concluded by thanking legislators for what she characterized as substantial increases for students statewide and locally.

Board members thanked Revolinski for the briefing and said they would follow up with staff to review budget projections and next steps for district planning. The legislative update was reported as information only; no board action was taken at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Everett Public Schools Regular Board Meeting 2025.05.13","oneSentenceSummary","Director Revolinski briefed the board on final state budget provisions that will bring both additional funding in special education and MSOC increases and potential losses under OSPI grant restructuring; the board heard estimates of multi‑million dollar impacts for the district.","taxTitle","Everett School District, School Districts, Washington","taxId",14637,"location","Washington","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6054500,"High school student leaders present 2025–26 ASB budgets, stress inclusion and impacts of state policy",4860,1860000,6720000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3337080-0a146446b372f63ddb3a31017cc239c6&start=1860&end=6720","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3337080-0a146446b372f63ddb3a31017cc239c6/thumbnail_1860000.jpg","/articles/6054500/Washington/High-school-student-leaders-present-202526-ASB-budgets-stress-inclusion-and-impacts-of-state-policy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6054500-2d23669751c44e624b99fda9eea14b8a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771131504&Signature=S6MEJHQLmfS6~giTacBrjjIeSg~UFPsQIVDzQ2eehYmtRZ6m1DJBc5ncAAuOFnzc2O5~zlv9GHqi21R7i8nPUb0-qJ2SLRc7ZIniVraqWZoaIE1j-kG0qWbhyZ~Kj9QYTl~kt0KhCATgLZ~8bFei0ChGu-MHuOD5c81Bt6Wbcrge-fe4Dce9Q3G4m-WQXe-uWn~F7n~vXwgkCEahvX8lor2y0E0XqaGV7rz4TEJB2ZMSj2E0lsDBAKWCPrgWK7PkYKA5T~S3TTO7Shh-BCsV5t1XFbqN-n26PQkjIa3QD9LSc1cB1i6dHe4x3X5UY1iR7SPEPHEG0ZyCuQ8z1dNmuQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Student leaders from Sequoia, Cascade, Jackson and Everett high schools presented their 2025–26 Associated Student Body budgets to the Everett Public Schools board on May 13, outlining planned revenues, expenditures, fund balances and student‑led activities.

The presentations emphasized inclusion and lowering economic barriers to participation: multiple schools said they had reduced or eliminated ASB card requirements or made dances and events low‑cost or free so more students can attend. Several student leaders and advisors also described how House Bill 1660, which provides free school lunch and makes ASB cards available free to qualifying students, has reduced ASB revenues while increasing event participation.

Sequoia ASB leaders said the school intentionally has “no budget for ASB cards because we feel ASB cards are a barrier to our students” (Genevieve, Sequoia senior class president). Sequoia students described a larger share of spending toward clubs and accessible events such as a first‑ever silent disco funded with a DEI grant.

Cascade’s student presenters gave numbers for their 2025–26 proposal: a beginning fund balance of $251,045, projected revenues of $815,325 and total available resources of $1,066,370; planned expenditures were about $887,200, leaving an estimated ending fund balance near $179,000. Cascade ASB president Gabriel Doolin summarized how House Bill 1660 changed revenues and attendance: “It has impacted our revenue… it provides for students to get lunch for free, get an ASB card for free, and for them to come to some of our events for free, which is really good and it really improves inclusion.”

Jackson High School reported larger figures: a beginning fund balance of $230,627, projected revenues of $1,279,241 and total available resources near $1.5 million; their projected ending fund balance was about $240,613. Jackson leaders said clubs account for the majority of revenue and that the school supports more than 70 clubs, which officials described as a major driver of student engagement.

Everett High School presented a beginning fund balance of $155,292 and projected revenues of $985,242, with a total available resource pool near $1.14 million. Students described fundraising events, community service work and plans to broaden club‑led programming and accessibility.

Across the schools, student officers told the board they had adjusted budgeting practices to spend down reserves on student experience and to support club and athletics needs. Several schools reported growing numbers of new clubs and increased spending on travel and competition entry fees as clubs and teams attend state and national competitions.

Board members praised the student presenters and asked operational questions about fundraising, ASB card outreach and the budget development process. The budget presentations were informational; the board recorded no formal vote on the school budgets during the May 13 meeting.","Student officers from Sequoia, Cascade, Jackson and Everett high schools presented 2025–26 ASB budgets to the Everett Public Schools board, emphasizing increased club activity, inclusion measures and revenue effects from House Bill 1660.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":81,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6054504,"Everett board advances Open SciEd elementary science adoption to second reading",1380,8100000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3337080-0a146446b372f63ddb3a31017cc239c6&start=6720&end=8100","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3337080-0a146446b372f63ddb3a31017cc239c6/thumbnail_6720000.jpg","/articles/6054504/Washington/Everett-board-advances-Open-SciEd-elementary-science-adoption-to-second-reading","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6054504-13f49158d2d93bae7027b097b99a6b76/orig.mp4?Expires=1771131504&Signature=XuUwMa5dTjSEx0UZEmdt87IIC46SYj296GlV2DbDVl1OUojUHZqnfhe9Mn1zm4V2aGW7df87yxmmj4Q-dqwAuzmlYWHTlRTh0pua0u4BmQx63HrrDXo~WsadFl1dRyTMMo52xTnUCEHGeQCDgr4~pDWT0bwflLXDMSN8BNqcRjYtbVQFyHBrK6yaGeYr2pM91M2MrZEegsC5O~1LJ~Hl0rD-q51OpfQUz0wjtkH7RVsRt-gjlOF~JUJ6OwGVW4l-MThHoOlJAFePwznng~t7tLRZz~WvqDcCsbBjGqSUrFVsyAWaurINdQYNjzrxrCvy7zWqC2q0vhzXa9qK09tLew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Everett Public Schools board on May 13 moved a proposed adoption of Open SciEd, a Next Generation Science Standards–aligned curriculum for kindergarten through fifth grade, to second reading after a district review and classroom field tests.

The adoption committee said the recommendation matters because Open SciEd is designed to center students as “scientists and engineers” and to align K–8 instruction across the district, which committee members and field-test teachers said should improve coherence of science learning and access to hands-on instruction.

The committee reviewed 20 candidate programs, narrowed the field to 10 and then two finalists, and field-tested lessons in K–5 classrooms. Andrea Cartwright, who led the adoption team as the district director overseeing P–12 science and engineering, said the committee “unanimously recommends Open SciEd” because the materials are phenomenon-based, include multiple supports for diverse learners and provide instructional routines that promote collaborative sense-making.

Committee members reported 900 students and 34 teachers participated in district field testing. Mill Creek Elementary STEM specialist Steven Harvey, who field-tested Open SciEd, told the board, “it was also the only curriculum that I heard students repeatedly asking for more of it.” Teachers participating in the field test praised student engagement, the committee said.

Implementation planning presented to the board calls for a two‑year phase-in: units 1 and 2 at each grade in year one and units 3 and 4 in year two, so that grade‑level teams across the district teach units in the same sequence. The committee estimated material and training costs and proposed using the district’s Science Resource Center to assemble hands‑on kits; the presentation compared an outside distributor estimate (about $350,000 per grade‑level units) with the resource center’s capacity to build two units for a similar or lower cost.

The plan also includes “just‑in‑time” professional learning: targeted training for teachers on the specific units shortly before they implement them, plus ongoing instructional support from district facilitators. Shannon Lacy, P–12 science instructional facilitator, told the board she is “super excited” to support teachers through the transition and called K–8 alignment a central benefit of the adoption.

By general consent the board voted to move the recommendation to a second reading; no final adoption occurred at the May 13 meeting. If the board approves the item at second reading, the district will begin the staggered implementation and the corresponding training schedule outlined by staff and the adoption committee.","After a district review and classroom field tests, the Everett Public Schools elementary science adoption committee unanimously recommended Open SciEd; the board moved the recommendation to a second reading for final approval.","actionData","errors"]
