The Peninsula School District Board of Directors approved routine and substantive items at its March 18 meeting, including adoption of the 2027–28 academic calendar, two policy second readings and final acceptance of the Artondale Elementary project.
The board voted to adopt the 2027–28 academic calendar after a motion moved by Jennifer and seconded by Lori (voice vote; “All in favor, say aye”). The board also approved the second reading (formal adoption) of policy 2,230 (Transition to Kindergarten) on a motion moved by Chuck and seconded by Jennifer, and approved the renumbering/second-reading of policy 5,420 to 5,642 (administrative internships) on a motion moved by Laurie and seconded by Chuck.
The consent agenda, which the board discussed briefly, was approved (motion moved by Laurie, seconded by Chuck).
