\"Justin and I received an email from our attorney that's been working on the Johnson property and trying to get a default judgment order for the title, and the judge ordered that today,\" Maxwell said. He told the board the district will receive a copy of the order, file for title and then start the bid process once title is obtained.

Nut graf: The default judgment is a procedural milestone in a long-running property matter; Maxwell described it as the district's closest progress since 2008. Separately, Maxwell said the purchase-and-sale agreement for the aquatic center is \"moving forward\" and the district and city staff are drafting both a temporary agreement (to cover September through December) and a longer interlocal agreement for occupancy and operations.

Maxwell said drafts for the permanent interlocal agreement have been exchanged by the district and the city and staff will continue negotiations over the summer. He framed the temporary agreement as a stopgap to permit joint operation or use starting in September while the longer interlocal is finalized.

The board had no substantive questions in the public transcript about next steps beyond asking for updates; Maxwell concluded his report and the meeting proceeded to other business.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 25, 2025 Pullman School District Regular Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Superintendent Bob Maxwell reported the county judge signed a default judgment on the Johnson property, allowing the district to apply for title and proceed toward bidding; he also said a purchase-and-sale agreement for the aquatic center is moving forward and the district is drafting a temporary interlocal agreement with the city for Sept.–Dec.","taxTitle","Pullman School District, School Districts, Washington","taxId",38763,"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},6185274,"Pullman schools introduce new elementary principals for Kamiak and Franklin",320,440000,760000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5082641-c4f90f3ec3fe8b0fbede8ea52d61607b&start=440&end=760","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5082641-c4f90f3ec3fe8b0fbede8ea52d61607b/thumbnail_440000.jpg","/articles/6185274/Washington/Pullman-schools-introduce-new-elementary-principals-for-Kamiak-and-Franklin","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6185274-b3541822d405b802a8dd132e67259605/orig.mp4?Expires=1771004526&Signature=SGoK7ZgH99Wj8madiSGyR7qvxEfGRscwIqBsWNcmPl80AH4EGmd470RtvAZkDPFjiUAAs1DZJ66olhJscsqwcrX0drx9kn~AA~h7YYRdRzfwRR7QuI0YRzFXHeI3dyGJN19ESQtmkU~i4PHKFKPlye2BNd7P66Gxmz0wH1Fd6XXNmshdEoADSleLlFxbsnO9xQR78Cdo0cc0-2j14CT9aDEVAlaLjcBlK-D-I5q6PENB7I7uehE8ptqWeckCSiLtO8F~PC3pg84yzZxwvccbba9S~x9HDr1uEy-XO-AQRTbqARg3X6r8jqko2P0kRWhygWGNph0rzQb1jWbd43p47g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pullman Public Schools board on June 25 formally heard introductions of two new elementary principals named by Superintendent Bob Maxwell.

\"Cheyenne is now ready to take over the reins as principal at Kamiak Elementary,\" Maxwell said, introducing Cheyenne Weber to the board. Weber told the board she and her family moved to Pullman because they wanted a smaller community and described working across three elementary schools as assistant principal. \"I absolutely have fallen in love with this community,\" Weber said.

Superintendent Maxwell also introduced Liz Pavlik as the new principal at Franklin Elementary. \"I'm excited to be here,\" Pavlik told the trustees, summarizing her background in elementary instruction, special education endorsement and school administration in Minnesota.

Nut graf: The introductions were presented as the superintendent's report items and were informational; no board action on the hires was recorded in the June 25 meeting transcript. Both new principals gave short remarks about their backgrounds, commitment to community engagement and plans to begin work with staff and families.

Weber discussed her path to Pullman and early experiences in the district, including time at multiple elementary sites and a prior start-year at Kamiak: \"I had the opportunity the past two years as assistant principal to be at three elementary schools... I'm so excited to be at Kamiak, especially since I, you know, started there.\" Pavlik summarized her credentials—two master's degrees (literacy and administration), classroom experience from kindergarten through fifth grade and previous principal experience—and said she looks forward to building relationships in Pullman.

The board thanked both administrators and invited them to stay for the meeting; Superintendent Maxwell closed the report and moved to other business.

Ending: The introductions were recorded as part of the superintendent's report; any formal personnel actions (contracts, effective dates) were not detailed in the published meeting transcript and would appear in consent items or personnel reports as required by district policy.","Superintendent Bob Maxwell introduced two new administrative hires: Cheyenne Weber, named principal at Kamiak Elementary, and Liz Pavlik, named principal at Franklin Elementary; both delivered brief remarks to the board and community.",{"_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},6185279,"Pullman board approves advertising surplus space at Pioneer Center for lease",129,3514000,3643000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5082641-c4f90f3ec3fe8b0fbede8ea52d61607b&start=3514&end=3643","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5082641-c4f90f3ec3fe8b0fbede8ea52d61607b/thumbnail_3514000.jpg","/articles/6185279/Washington/Pullman-board-approves-advertising-surplus-space-at-Pioneer-Center-for-lease","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6185279-e2b0f8ac52cfa6d3e9d568413cbc9285/orig.mp4?Expires=1771004526&Signature=Kg6FX1QAondWoFkYcwH5CtqRlmGZV5-RHhxz4-IXypGoUwiyLHb-zlLrBWhRR7X~hTxbRLImr9422RENQT0I4eH4qWDxnoulApYA-Hb-MaRoSS4nnnJopcsJ148bJMiKFwd-CnFDE-8mCO4JM14K2s-Ywi7kGo8rGKlE2l0nt84FE1rA611gRqX-3P35AgtnFu259FcKQicem5~BksKq9CsLNRdD5CJ6eu0aBH6VuBBp1oeVQZaOr4xdYz3TYRxQZSqmOHGLZHKP4FBetEuVmlPWzKeQ6sp~7DVmAE8HLOoId88L7uCj2~8wOCZrh-NXa7AFAKXDXbtSD-gXNUgAGg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pullman Public Schools board of directors on June 25 voted to approve a resolution to advertise surplus office/classroom space at the Pioneer Center for lease, starting the 45-day public notice required before the district accepts proposals.

Justin Polstead, who presented the item to the board, told trustees the district would place notice in the paper for 45 days and begin accepting expressions of interest. \"This gotta be in the paper for 45 days,\" Polstead said, explaining the advertising step is the board's authorization to begin the surplus-lease process.

Nut graf: By approving the advertising and moving the resolution to an action item, the board enabled a formal public period for responses from prospective tenants; the superintendent noted Montessori School of Pullman has expressed interest in the Pioneer Center space and the 45-day period would put a potential award decision near the start of the academic year.

The motion to move Resolution 24-25-11 (Lease of Surplus Real Property — Pioneer Center) to an action item passed, and the board then approved the resolution at the same meeting. Board members clarified that the June 25 action authorizes advertising only; any lease agreement would come back to the board for final approval after the district reviews proposals and conducts any necessary negotiations.

The resolution sets the formal public-notice clock in motion. Superintendent Bob Maxwell told the board that if the district can secure title and complete required steps for other properties, it will begin the competitive process for lease proposals and then return with a recommendation.

Next steps: The district will publish the surplus property notice for 45 days, accept proposals and present any recommended lease award to the board for approval at a later meeting.","The Pullman School District board approved a resolution to advertise lease opportunities for surplus rooms at the Pioneer Center, beginning a 45‑day public notice period that the district says will allow potential tenants, including Montessori School of Pullman, to submit interest.",{"_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},6185284,"Pullman board hears plan for low-cost solar energy and community funds under PPA",1004,1396000,2400000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5082641-c4f90f3ec3fe8b0fbede8ea52d61607b&start=1396&end=2400","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5082641-c4f90f3ec3fe8b0fbede8ea52d61607b/thumbnail_1396000.jpg","/articles/6185284/Washington/Pullman-board-hears-plan-for-low-cost-solar-energy-and-community-funds-under-PPA","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6185284-05b06877a058fe75ed89f1cd4385d9b7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771004526&Signature=hWQ5bFjAWMKbOS5mQRO1dMDHbDJtBX-kN~rdeBWA5llTFRMrCoH9Ph7jRHJw3Kd1Rvy80TaNTHnb~2lG8pTkLSMdelS0ClHoEIrz012bhgb9hXB9RdarYdQvhC0onyGK99nQxU6pJeDITllzBRsetcztL-zi99L7Ih7QFZDI7eAICPWxNuaC6KS~3yUu7uCPmUIDIhcuv7vtbc6oKrPRnWIoKv6zosx1k4JLG0Ur-QFDkm1xwcpTXLslBycFtbwL9-iIehmHwiBLREuqNTixYANwLqWPSnEeZBbS0l1vjtxDTODBoBjlGhEKjm6HX7jEBavO46ePHnGIM4qXX3BbRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pullman Public Schools board of directors on June 25 heard a detailed presentation on a proposed solar power purchase agreement (PPA) that would place solar arrays on four district properties and use state incentives to subsidize low-income community services.

David Funk, an energy consultant with Zen, told the board the company has secured an Avista interconnection approval and a Washington State incentive and is asking the district to consider four separate 100-kilowatt AC PPAs for Kamiak Elementary, the bus depot, Lincoln Middle School and the high school. \"There is no cost associated with this for Pullman School District to get up and running for the first 10 years,\" Funk said, adding the PPA rate for Pullman would be about \"3.7¢ per kilowatt hour\" with a 2 percent annual escalation.

The nut graf: The proposal pairs up-front incentive dollars with a private developer-operated PPA to generate energy savings for the district while channeling a portion of incentive proceeds into community programs (for example, STEM, workforce development and basic needs). Board members asked technical and operational questions about warranties, aesthetics, monitoring, maintenance response and insurance; Funk said those responsibilities are borne by his company during the contract period.

Funk described the structure: Zen would own and operate the systems for at least the first 10 years, maintain the arrays, and provide remote monitoring and on-call service. At year 10 the district would have a purchase option. \"After 10 years, the school district has a purchase option,\" Funk told the board, and the contract would fix that option price at the time the PPA is signed. He said the projects are sized to maximize financial outcomes and that a majority of the construction and permitting work would be handled by Zen and its partners.

Funk presented project-level and program-level figures: Zen reported it secured $4.6 million in incentives for 14 projects across eastern Washington and estimated the collective projects would save about $15 million over their useful life. For Pullman specifically, Funk said the contract pricing results in an approximately 67 percent discount to Avista retail rates today and a long-term net energy savings for the district.

Board members probed for operational details. On durability and warranties Funk said modern panels have a roughly 30-year useful life and will typically produce about 80 percent of initial output after that time; he also said Zen carries a 10-year workmanship warranty on installation. On-site visibility and repairs are handled via panel-level monitoring: \"I would probably notice, but as always, like, I just was at my one of my employees' houses, and I noticed her transformer looked like it was leaking... If you see something, say something,\" Funk said.

On program money and oversight, Funk said the incentive program is administered in partnership with WSU Energy and Partners for Rural Washington (PRWA). He described the reporting and spending as flexible within broad categories and said the state is focused on housing, energy and food but that school-related uses (for example, covering band fees or summer STEM programs for low-income students) would qualify. \"This program is relatively new, so we're going to have to invent what the reporting looks like,\" he said.

Funk emphasized district control over final design and a staged decision process: if the board wishes to proceed, Zen would return with final engineered site plans and interconnection diagrams for board review before construction. He said there is a two-year window to complete the projects and that Zen prefers to move quickly so incentive and pricing conditions do not change.

The district took no formal action on June 25; board members asked to see final contract language, stamped drawings and a rendering for visible sites before any vote. Board members also requested details on insurance timing, panel replacement strategy and how project savings would be tracked and delivered to community programs.

Looking ahead: Zen indicated it would return with a PPA draft and final designs; the board did not set a decision date at the meeting.","An energy consultant outlined a proposal to install rooftop solar at four Pullman School District sites under a 10-year power purchase agreement that would charge the district roughly 3.7¢/kWh for the generated power, cost the district nothing up front for 10 years, and direct program incentives into low-income community services.","actionData","errors"]
