Board approves consent agenda, policy revisions, exchange-student policy and adopts elementary math curriculum

The Mukilteo School District Board of Directors conducted multiple formal actions during its regular meeting on May 27: trustees approved the consent agenda with a personnel addendum, adopted revisions to two board policies, approved a policy on exchange students and adopted a new elementary math curriculum.

A motion to approve the consent agenda—including the personnel report addendum—was moved and seconded and passed after a voice vote. Later, the board moved and seconded revisions to “board policies 2024 and 2245” and voted unanimously to approve those revisions. Trustees also moved and seconded to revise board policy "31 42" regarding exchange students; that motion passed by voice vote.

On instructional materials, the board voted to adopt the elementary math curriculum “Math Expressions” as presented. Board members praised staff for the review process, noted equity and engagement goals for the program and then approved the adoption by voice vote. The board also approved Change Order No. 5 for the Performing Arts Center renovation project; that motion also carried by voice vote.

Why it matters: Curriculum adoptions and policy revisions are formal governance actions that affect instruction, student opportunities and district operations. The new elementary math curriculum will be implemented across district elementary schools; revised policies and the exchange-student policy affect district governance and program rules.

Details and procedure: The motions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; meeting minutes record the actions as carried and “aye” responses were noted. No roll-call tallies with individual member names were recorded in the public portion of the transcript.

Ending: The board concluded the formal action portion of the agenda and proceeded to further discussion items and presentations.
