The staff presenter told the Mukilteo School District Board of Directors that the changes are primarily language updates and required additions, not a wholesale rewrite. Key updates include clearer definitions, required model-student-handbook language, named compliance officers with contact information and procedures for reporting discrimination or harassment. \"The biggest requirement is that the definition is at the top and is clear, and we were missing some wording in our original definition,\" the presenter said.

The presentation noted OSPI guidance required the district to include model student handbook language, specific nondiscrimination verbiage, and training requirements for compliance officers. The revisions also add cross-references to related district policies and expand the complaint procedure and retaliation protections.

A board member asked whether the wording was a state requirement; the presenter confirmed the updates respond to the statewide civil rights audit and state guidance. The board did not take a final vote on the policies that night; the policies were discussed as part of the agenda and may return to the board for formal adoption in a later meeting.

District leaders said the updates will ensure the district's policies align with state requirements and that compliance officers are identified and trained.","District staff presented revisions to Policy 32.10 (nondiscrimination) and Policy 32.11 (gender-inclusive schools) required by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction's statewide civil rights audit; changes add definitions, compliance-officer contact information and handbook cross-references.",{"_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},6201464,"Kamiak ASB presents budget process and plans to district board, cites parking revenue loss and attendance goals",1849,3919000,5768000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3793912-24fce917307584b58a25829e6a7e22fe&start=3919&end=5768","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3793912-24fce917307584b58a25829e6a7e22fe/thumbnail_3919000.jpg","/articles/6201464/Washington/Kamiak-ASB-presents-budget-process-and-plans-to-district-board-cites-parking-revenue-loss-and-attendance-goals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6201464-3d3a336bc7caa34a8bef67e81ec2a8c7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151359&Signature=CwmYwqWCRyuwy3ecTFhXtqctYZcHNi1fexhEq2J1De-8rKr0ILA88bxIjEzhXxjLZpBvMbMM-fu392umdp~vQqxzHsb6SSRDNd1omSkp92ZlQgo1G3gsfNAjhGp7cT5iVDW24loOglaz7UHtO~-qZNFF0SJyV4SBP3t6reSw8CuW~6g6g0ySDd98tNQacMJZVVwOEsLEic3svbGT77kubSIoR7ySkmxdA9qIXmAdgei14kB7IgfUfVXKtXn3yqAaIO9A-2bcX4wUfSU42kyhT0P4OBMsFpwXHSVjQYgtfLX8j2g-ycLiD2d~ql6A1K8xwsJ-Qbb5OPKNV4IPMbkkng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kamiak High School student leaders and their ASB advisor detailed the school's student-led budgeting process and proposed allocations to the Mukilteo School District Board of Directors on June 10, including plans to offset lost parking revenue and increase event attendance.

ASB advisor Miss Stengel and elected student officers explained that individual clubs and activities submit grant requests and present to a budget panel, which vets membership numbers, past spending and fundraising plans before deciding allocations. \"To make the decision-making process as fair and equitable as possible, the budget panel is to every single club that determine how much each club, sport, and fine arts need for the next year,\" said Patrick Pompersonsak, Kamiak senate vice president.

Students described specific allocations: drama requested $3,900 for the coming year and the panel allocated $2,000 after considering attendance declines related to Performing Arts Center renovations; Key Club asked for $1,175 but the panel denied funding requests that would pay advisors' expenses and recommended increased membership dues and fundraising instead.

Students and staff told the board the ASB expects to lose about $19,000 in parking revenue next year and roughly $6,000 from vending changes during class time; the ASB left an additional $19,000 in reserves to cushion that change. \"As of next year, Kamiak closed charging for parking, which is a large source of revenue as we made $19,000 last year,\" a district presenter explained during the budget discussion.

Student leaders outlined goals for next year: increase revenue from events while reducing costs, boost ASB card uptake (ASB cards cost $45 this year; those eligible for free and reduced-price lunch receive ASB cards at no cost), make clubs more self-sufficient and raise attendance at games and performances through targeted PR and leadership programs. Miss Stengel said leadership coursework will expand next year to offer more student-leader capacity-building and college-credit leadership classes.

Board members asked questions about revenue substitutes and the financial rules governing ASB spending. A district financial presenter explained ASB funds are proprietary and must be budgeted so expenditures do not exceed authorized totals; schools with higher fund balances can absorb shortfalls for a limited time but overall budgets must balance.

No formal board vote was required on the ASB presentation. The board thanked the students for their presentation and encouraged student leadership development as part of district financial education.","Kamiak High School's ASB officers described their student-led budget panel process, recent allocations and plans to boost event attendance and revenue after losing parking fees and vending revenue; students and staff outlined reserve use and spending priorities for 2025–26.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6201468,"Mariner staff and community urge Mukilteo School District to address safety, behavior and morale at high school",887,1152000,2039000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3793912-24fce917307584b58a25829e6a7e22fe&start=1152&end=2039","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3793912-24fce917307584b58a25829e6a7e22fe/thumbnail_1152000.jpg","/articles/6201468/Washington/Mariner-staff-and-community-urge-Mukilteo-School-District-to-address-safety-behavior-and-morale-at-high-school","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6201468-7164fb0a69fa2e712c2c2fc8170cfc82/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151359&Signature=KIhpbj7MTHgdvPBtdcwuKPfIOpJGxKdyGermkMa35IjPZgtgHgrgEjh-BXh75P6sWdQGWO0tHQtY1UYkpAPNJ2dLExPdESPYrhJBiyYX4qYGHy8GsMCrrvaYX9cZy~eXLi4sHkyRs-LuTkDWyREvwexHtJza-u2Mt0fyGXNwHTbHB~srTZSk6gc3nhCP8u2EeHFN8eez8ECfik0ey5P2Dluelw1XQrHZwnxPS4uZ77MTSxs5wGUrXQRHtkfxHhJmFJmVSOvij8aQFXo94BR7PwcUKiEFLwz04z3K22IlTeML0Q8wvO8ajgiOkRO2F5d4ygOZsOt0hhbQ0D3FlvIZ2g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dozens of Mariner High School staff and community members told the Mukilteo School District Board of Directors on June 10 that problems with student behavior, unchecked cell phone use, vaping and inconsistent discipline have left teachers and staff feeling unsafe and undermined educational goals.

The speakers said the issues are widespread and persistent and asked the board to provide clearer expectations, stronger enforcement and outside assistance. \"Cell phone use is an elephant in the room,\" said Stephanie Wilson, librarian at Mariner, during the public comment period. \"Students are connected to their phones.\"

The comments followed other public remarks about specific safety incidents and morale. Julie Anderson, a campus security staff member, said she has been physically attacked and described repeated incidents of students leaving campus, vaping in bathrooms and multiple false fire alarms. \"Our fire alarm has been activated for neither a false pull or vaping in the bathroom at least 37 times,\" Anderson said. Chris Gonzales, a Mariner teacher, said LGBTQ+ students and staff have not always been adequately supported after incidents he described as targeted and harmful.

Speakers described consistent themes: staff report being yelled at and threatened when enforcing rules; many staff members believe consequences for disruptive behavior are inconsistent or absent; students reportedly roam hallways, skip classes and use phones and AirPods in ways that make instruction difficult. \"We are at a breaking point that our school is not safe and cell phones are a high contributing factor to the downfall of our academic and emotional successes at this time,\" Wilson said.

Several speakers also asked the board for outside intervention or mediation. Janella Regal, a Mariner teacher, said progress has been made under district leadership but that trust between some school leaders and staff has eroded and needs repair. \"We need something outside of ourselves in this moment,\" she said.

Speakers cited survey results and staff experience as evidence of deteriorating morale. One commenter referenced a climate survey finding that staff felt discipline policies were inadequate; multiple speakers described rising absenteeism among teachers and increased burnout. Colton Keebler, a math teacher and safety-team member, criticized recent operational decisions he said prioritized convenience over safety, including involving students in evacuation roles without collaborative planning.

The board took public comments and said it would respond in writing. No board action or formal directive addressing the Mariner statements was made during the meeting agenda portion that followed the public comment period.

The board chair reminded speakers that the district cannot respond to comments in the public record that would identify or compromise the privacy of students or staff. Board members moved on to other agenda items after concluding public comment.

District officials did not present an immediate plan on the record at the June 10 meeting to address the specific concerns raised by Mariner staff. The board said it would take comments seriously and reply as appropriate in writing.","Multiple Mariner High School teachers, support staff and community members told the Mukilteo School District board that student behavior, cell phone use, vaping and perceived leadership failures have eroded staff morale and school safety, and asked the board for outside help and clearer enforcement of rules.","actionData","errors"]
