Edmonds board adopts Policy 69.60 on school attendance areas and boundary changes
Summary
The Edmonds School District board approved new board policy 69.60 governing attendance areas and boundary changes after a second reading; the board said the policy carried only a minor change from the first reading.
The Edmonds School District board of directors voted Tuesday to adopt new board policy 69.60, which governs school attendance areas and boundary changes.
After a second reading, the presiding director said the policy was substantially the same as the version presented at the first reading with one minor change. The board called for a voice vote and the policy was approved by the attending directors; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
Why it matters: Policy 69.60 establishes the district's procedures for defining school attendance areas and for proposing and implementing boundary changes, which affect student assignments, transportation, and school enrollment patterns.
Details: The board handled the item as unfinished business and moved to a vote after the second reading. Meeting minutes record that directors voted 'aye' and the policy was adopted. The transcript does not detail the specific textual change made since the first reading.
Next steps: The new policy is in effect as the board adopted it; the district will follow the policy's procedures for any future boundary proposals or attendance-area adjustments.
