Wenatchee School District board adopts 2025-26 budget, declares surplus property and approves two buses
Summary
At its Aug. 26 meeting the board approved a resolution declaring district property surplus, adopted the 2025-26 budget and authorized purchase of two school buses; each action passed on unanimous voice votes and no formal roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
The Wenatchee School District Board of Directors unanimously approved three formal actions at its Aug. 26 regular meeting: a resolution declaring certain district property surplus, adoption of the 2025-26 budget and authorization to purchase two school buses for the 2026-27 school year.
The board moved the first action, Resolution 3-25, to declare specific district property surplus and authorize its sale or lease. The motion was moved by Julie and seconded; the board approved the resolution by voice vote with no opposition, the board clerk recorded "Aye" and the chair declared the motion carried.
The board then adopted the 2025-26 budget by approving Resolution 4-25. Board director Martin made the motion and Julie seconded. After no discussion, the board approved the budget by unanimous voice vote; the transcript records "Aye" and "None opposed." Martin used the item to note he planned to step down from the budget committee after formal adoption and described the committee's value in providing early board contact with finance staff.
The third action authorized purchase of two school buses for the 2026-27 school year. Julie moved the motion and Mark seconded; the board approved the purchase by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
None of the three items in the transcript recorded a roll-call vote with named yes/no tallies; approvals were recorded as unanimous voice votes. Board discussion separate from these votes included a conversation about the budget committee and the potential transfer of committee responsibilities from Martin to Tucker; that was discussion only and no formal committee appointment was recorded in the minutes.
The board's actions finalize the district's spending plan for 2025-26 and authorize a bus purchase for the next school year. The transcript does not list dollar totals for the bus purchase in the meeting speech and no additional strings or conditions were recorded in the motions.
