Students and community members urged the board to retain the SRO during public comment. “Do not be cheap and risk the lives of innocent children. Keep Officer Ware at Bothell High School,” said Linda McAndrews, a senior at Bothell High School. Isha Tumala, a Bothell High sophomore, said, “Officer Ware provides that sense of security every day” and described him as a mentor who also visits classrooms to support learning.

Why it matters: the board’s annual review is required by state law and is the district’s formal opportunity to reconsider SRO arrangements, oversight and reporting. The board considered a staff report and the program review memo submitted with the interlocal agreement amendment before voting.

Board discussion reviewed three central themes: the program’s community support, possible gaps in on-campus coverage when an SRO responds to off-campus duties, and the limits of the review data. John Messner, speaking for Bothell High School, said the school’s surveys show “overwhelming support for our SRO program” and noted the cost of the current program is shared by the district and the City of Bothell. Director Jacqueline McGourty highlighted the limits of the survey evidence, saying about 212 students responded and describing that as roughly 10–12% of the student body.

Superintendent Michael Tully presented the amendment and the accompanying program review and staff recommendation asking the board to authorize SRO services for the coming school year. Board members referenced the North Shore student wellness and safety task force’s parameters and state law changes from 2021 that require annual board review of SRO interlocal agreements.

The board discussed alternatives that the district has used at other comprehensive high schools: where an SRO is assigned the campus is staffed with one SRO and one campus supervisor; in campuses without an SRO, the district staffs two campus supervisors. Directors raised the operational tradeoffs between a campus supervisor who remains on campus all day and an SRO whose community duties sometimes require leaving campus.

After discussion the board approved the amendment to the interlocal agreement, allowing Bothell High School to continue to receive SRO services for the 2025–26 school year.

The board’s approval follows the district’s annual reporting and program review process required by state law; the board did not adopt any policy changes or new contract terms beyond authorizing the amendment.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Northshore School District School Board Meeting, June 9, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The North Shore School District Board of Directors voted to approve an amendment to its interlocal agreement with the City of Bothell to provide school resource officer services at Bothell High School for 2025–26.","taxTitle","Northshore School District, School Districts, Washington","taxId",13036,"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},6207846,"Board accepts reports and authorizes guaranteed maximum price amendment for Inglemore High School Phase 1",500,3608000,4108000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3752235-dacb7c156c92f6ee06bc5b810402bc3c&start=3608&end=4108","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3752235-dacb7c156c92f6ee06bc5b810402bc3c/thumbnail_3608000.jpg","/articles/6207846/Washington/Board-accepts-reports-and-authorizes-guaranteed-maximum-price-amendment-for-Inglemore-High-School-Phase-1","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6207846-34bd2d8f47f11f0ae75d9dc20172c602/orig.mp4?Expires=1775508919&Signature=cevd1FwjdwWKREVvJnRFMnewKDTtyYHF~y1Inrktx4zGrLhZHmjHiagRsdaW41zuBRCLE17g1KgOZseSFvMQ4Yo7S6PqeCJ-v1pwJ6RXWuCa4K-zcW71UoXCudHupcpgoGQdGj1F5PrMxBueyDT6vyrcxehEQCbhMpNAznvB0l4mJNfEWZEshhI41h6zRckhtjFuYfVhYMIN6AdIcdB1LSV1uWsLJ8tQBJFTLFXd65FoN9X6gncqbtddym88x~SyYx1m-6Aha5YSjn7TScyLG9uRWuPKGlCyW7SEB1H5P09EqmFRahJJ0odOl7HOvfidIctpKLHz1In9IYtSiwvp6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Shore School District Board of Directors accepted required state reports and authorized a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) amendment for Phase 1 of the Inglemore High School replacement project.

Superintendent Michael Tully told the board that state law requires a value engineering study and a constructability review for state-assisted projects larger than 50,000 square feet. The board accepted both the value engineering report and the constructability review and their accompanying responses.

The board also authorized Guaranteed Price Amendment No. 3 to the GCCM (general contractor–construction manager) contract. Dre Roth, executive director of capital projects, described the amendment as a “mini-max” that allows the district to procure essential materials and contract several subcontractors in advance of the final GMP while keeping the schedule moving. Roth said the district expects the final GMP to be presented to the board in August.

Why it matters: the actions allow the district to secure critical equipment and schedule demolition, abatement, geothermal, fire-protection and electrical trades for this summer’s work, an approach district staff said will help keep the project on schedule and control costs.

Director Jacqueline McGourty praised the capital projects and facilities teams for careful review of value-engineering options that considered student benefit and green-building commitments while delivering savings. The board voted to accept the reports and approve the amendment.","The North Shore board accepted a value engineering report and a constructability review for the Inglemore High School Phase 1 replacement project and authorized Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment No. 3 to allow summer procurement and subcontractor scheduling.",{"_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},6207851,"Parents and staff press North Shore board over projected class sizes and budget-driven staffing changes",389,1178000,1567000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3752235-dacb7c156c92f6ee06bc5b810402bc3c&start=1178&end=1567","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3752235-dacb7c156c92f6ee06bc5b810402bc3c/thumbnail_1178000.jpg","/articles/6207851/Washington/Parents-and-staff-press-North-Shore-board-over-projected-class-sizes-and-budget-driven-staffing-changes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6207851-6e3bfa4a944f8bb14399d8bc762f6a80/orig.mp4?Expires=1775508919&Signature=LZcgA171Y9wvNFtbwLc7HeQgkXiqksqw9JwYDhRTFrzF2nj2~umYMlvBPdnbrCTycJNEUM-K9FzsTqkRsExn~ofMdsn59jWR7wUwrQSV3c17wZp72lc3aFu6PjGMcOU7LE9O~KdPpkhWtmXI-OHhoXWwJai-IuzRxgxs1OuzoRY~jiZZqZpnuFw8xmWZ9QWs7r7ArsP4t-JlKR6n-wQ7xJT3aKrTr1GVQhf6iyeU77oiKfbbzQQgEYosHiXsjS4~AesFu74WVloPSDP9Oz-49l5tAPkPI3GqUnG6LkhOb7zEchsEemopJJwRjkWjFPBpYY1dVt7I4pKLlsYWYkMi2g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parents and district staff urged the North Shore School District Board of Directors to adjust staffing after district enrollment projections left some schools facing crowded classrooms for next school year.

Parents from Eastridge Elementary said projections used by the district undercount enrollment, leaving the school with more than 30 students per grade unless another teacher is added. \"Thirty kids is simply too high for children at this stage of learning,\" said Camilla Roat, speaking on behalf of several families. Parent Sarah Dominic said East Ridge began the year with larger classes but benefited from a later added teacher; she asked the district to staff earlier to avoid disruption.

At Kenmore Middle School, classified staff member Stephanie Sullivan told the board that proposed least-restrictive-environment (LRE) adjustments intended to save $1.7 million would leave some seventh-grade classes — including Spanish — with up to 40 students. Sullivan said, “Grade class sizes next year at KMS are looking to be 37 to 40 students” and urged the board to minimize classroom impacts as it finalizes the budget.

Why it matters: parents and staff said overcrowded classrooms limit individualized instruction during critical learning years and create extra burdens for teachers. Board members and staff acknowledged funding constraints and described how state funding for inflationary salary increases (the implicit price deflator, IPD) affects local budgets.

Deputy Superintendent Jill Limburgey clarified funding mechanics during a related consent-agenda discussion: the state provides an IPD amount (described in the meeting as 2.5%) that must be allocated to salary increases for covered staff, but the district adds local funds to reach actual salary levels. Limburgey said the district had added roughly $40,000 on top of what the state provided for teacher compensation, and Director Sandy Hayes observed the gap will cost the district about $4 million from the local levy to cover what the state does not fund.

Board members asked principals and PTSA leaders to continue providing enrollment data and requested that the budget development process in July incorporate the classroom staffing concerns raised at the meeting. The consent agenda, which included updated salary schedules tied to the state IPD, passed during the meeting.","Multiple parents, a district paraeducator and a volunteer urged the board to add teachers for elementary and middle school grades after district projections left some schools with higher-than-expected class sizes; the meeting also included board discussion of state-funded cost-of-living adjustments and the levy gap.","actionData","errors"]
