Pullman School District extends agreement with city for Aquatic Center operations

The Pullman School District (PSD) has taken a significant step to ensure the continued operation of the Pullman Aquatic Center by approving a short-term interlocal agreement with the city of Pullman. This agreement, which extends from September 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, is designed to bridge the gap until the sale of the facility is finalized, expected around September 5, 2025.

During the special school board meeting held on July 1, 2025, district representatives emphasized the importance of maintaining uninterrupted access to the aquatic center for the community. The existing agreement between PSD and the city is set to expire on August 31, 2025, and the new interim arrangement will ensure that operations continue smoothly during the transition period.

Key details of the agreement include maintaining the current cost-sharing structure, with no changes to the fees paid by the school district for the next four months. This stability is crucial for planning upcoming fall activities and ensuring that the aquatic center remains a resource for residents.

The board moved swiftly to approve the agreement, highlighting its time-sensitive nature and the collaborative efforts between the city and the school district. With the motion passed unanimously, the Pullman community can look forward to continued access to the aquatic center without disruption as preparations for the facility's future progress.
