The board of directors (organization not specified in the transcript) met at 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5, and voted to adopt Resolution 7,080 regarding the strike by public school employees of the Washington Evergreen Chapter Large Group. The motion to adopt the resolution passed with no recorded opposition.

Board members said the goal of the action was to get students back into school while negotiations continue. Director Bocanegra said the resolution was needed and emphasized returning students to classes: "We want our kids back in school. We want our communities to start school. I think that's extremely important." Director Bocanegra added, "We're hoping that we can come to a resolution, but we need school to start as soon as possible."

Director Wilson described the option of seeking injunctive relief because negotiations had not yet resolved the work stoppage: "I'm saddened that we're at this point where the only way to get kids back in school, getting an education after 2 weeks of delay is an injunction." Wilson said this was her first labor dispute and expressed a desire for more open bargaining in the future: "this being my first labor dispute, learning the hard way, next time, I hope we can have an open bargaining."

A board member identified in the transcript as Jen echoed colleagues, saying the board's objective was to bring students back into classrooms while both sides continue mediated bargaining toward a "fair, but also sustainable contract." Director Perkins likewise called the resolution a last resort and said the board had been receiving daily updates from negotiation team members including "doctor Maloney and members of the bargaining team," and urged that the district remain in good-faith negotiations.

The meeting record shows the board opened the special session by adopting the meeting agenda, then took up Resolution 7,080. The motion to approve Resolution 7,080 was made by Director Bocanegra and seconded by Director Perkins; the roll of those saying "Aye" was recorded and no "No" votes were announced. The board later characterized an item on the agenda as informational: an unfair labor practice matter related to the Washington Evergreen Chapter Large Group.

Directors repeatedly framed the adopted resolution as a last-resort step intended to restore classroom instruction while mediated negotiations continue. The transcript does not specify the full text of Resolution 7,080, any legal steps the board will pursue beyond adoption, or any formal directive to staff beyond asking that the district continue negotiating in good faith.

The special meeting lasted approximately six minutes and adjourned at 3:06 p.m.
