Members expressed reluctance to spend $1,100 for a general facilitation, preferring instead to review board self-assessment results together and reserve paid facilitation for a clearly needed topic.

The nut graf: Trustees agreed to prepare self-assessment material ahead of the planning session and to host an in-house facilitated review of assessment results rather than immediately contracting WASDA; the board subsequently recessed the public meeting and entered executive session to discuss property disposition and acquisition.

During agenda planning, one board member said the WASDA topics (for example, board roles and superintendent-board relationships) overlapped with prior training and boot camps; others suggested homework and internal discussion of the board self-assessment would be a better use of meeting time and funds. The board agreed to place review of the self-assessment results on the planning session agenda and move forward without purchasing the WASDA workshop for that day.

At the end of the public session the board chair announced a recess into executive session to discuss property disposition and acquisition for approximately 60 minutes. The minutes record the announcement and that the meeting went into executive session; no substantive outcomes from the executive session were disclosed in public.

Ending: The meeting adjourned from executive session after roughly the stated period (the transcript records an adjournment). The board recorded no votes during the public portion on the WASDA item; the executive-session discussion was not disclosed because state law restricts public reporting of certain executive-session matters.

The nut graf: The communications update showed high ParentSquare volume and app adoption among parents, increased social-media reach after contracting ESD 112, and an early baseline for the Profile of a Grad work — items the director said will shape a fall communications plan and adjustments to distribution and engagement.

Doreen said ParentSquare remains the district's primary family communication tool: she reported about 8,800 parents registered, roughly 1,300 staff entries (with duplicates for staff who appear in multiple schools), and over half of parents having downloaded the app and enabled notifications. A 30-day snapshot she presented showed roughly 17,000 emails and almost 9,000 text messages sent districtwide in the sample window; some individual accounts received more than 100 messages in 30 days.

On social media, Doreen said moving social management to ESD 112 increased reach and interactions; top posts included signing-day coverage, student recognition and a recent reel from Sky Ridge. She described the new website as more stable than the previous WordPress setup and noted its improved search and staff-directory features; ParentSquare and the website are not integrated, though the new site can push posts to social media and app notifications.

Doreen also provided an early baseline for the district's Profile of a Graduate work; she reported about 207 survey responses so far and said the district will push additional outreach. Board members discussed using the Profile of a Grad at different grade levels and aligning it with existing standards-based and citizenship rubrics.

Ending: Board members asked about guest access for community members and the ability of the website to surface school-specific ParentSquare content; Doreen said guests can be added and that she plans a fall push to encourage app adoption and guest sign-ups. The report was informational; no board decisions or votes were recorded.

The nut graf: District nutrition leaders said they have moved toward whole-muscle meats and less processed food, introduced a six-week menu rotation and piloted engagement programs designed to boost participation and nutrition education — steps they said helped increase lunch participation districtwide.

The presenter, identified in the record as the district nutrition lead working with Chartwells, said the district served almost 70,000 breakfasts and just under 400,000 lunches between the school-year start and April. She said the district adopted a six-week menu cycle, introduced Global Eats items (for example, teriyaki chicken noodle bowls and butter chicken at Liberty High School), and emphasized visual presentation and sampling to encourage students to try new dishes.

Chartwells staff described student-focused programs: Discovery Kitchen (in-school sampling and education), fine dining (etiquette and plated events that expose students to varied foods), and Mood Boost (elementary-level lessons linking food to mood). The presenter said Shauna and Bridal — two site leads at Sky Ridge and elementary schools — had near-decade tenures and played major roles in execution.

Participation and sales figures: the presenter said Chartwells recorded a 7.2% increase in combined meal sales last year, and a 1.2% increase year-to-date through April. Lunch participation rose from roughly 34% to 37% last year and to about 39% this year. Breakfast participation was described as roughly unchanged and remains a challenge because of students' arrival patterns.

Ending: District leaders asked how to involve Cascadia Tech and other students in nutrition programming; Chartwells staff said conversations are underway with ESD 112 and partners to create potential student employment and engagement pathways. No formal board action was taken on the report.

He said the law treats a “meeting” broadly — any gathering of a quorum involving deliberation or action — and warned that emails, texts and other exchanges can form a de facto meeting if they show collective intent to decide. \"If you piece it together...it looks like this body had a meeting,\" Sean said, summarizing recent court rulings that have treated serial communications as a meeting when a quorum's views are exchanged through multiple channels.

The nut graf: The trainer framed the guidance as both legal requirement and risk-management: public records requests can reach personal devices when messages discuss district business, and misused executive sessions or private decision-making can expose the district to litigation or require later corrective action.

In the discussion, Sean described common problem scenarios: passive distribution of informational materials to the full board can be permissible, but adding advocacy or follow-up “reply all” threads risks creating an unlawful serial meeting. He referenced recent Washington cases, including litigation over executive-session conduct and the Port of Vancouver decision, as examples of how courts have analyzed the totality of communications.

On executive sessions, Sean outlined permitted topics the board may address outside public view — for example, narrow discussions about price in property disposition, evaluation of candidate qualifications, potential litigation with counsel present, and labor negotiations — and stressed strict limits. He warned that executives sessions used to reach or announce decisions in public can trigger Open Public Meetings Act challenges: \"If you're in executive session, you're not taking straw polls, you're not making any determinations,\" he said.

Board members asked clarifying questions about one-on-one discussions among members, replies-all email practices, and whether passive information sharing (for example, a conference summary) violates law. Sean repeatedly advised caution: keep advocacy out of shared materials, avoid reply-all, label informational shares as passive, and limit executive-session discussions to the statutory subject matter.

Ending: The board's conversation closed with general agreement to apply restraint in email and text exchanges and to follow established protocols for executive sessions and public comment. Sean summarized sanctions and remedies available for violations, including potential nullification of actions and attorney-fee exposure, and noted that later open reconsideration can sometimes cure procedural errors.
