Board approves policies, school contracts and student placements; multiple votes pass unanimously
Summary
The Camas School District board approved first-reading policies, adopted two policy updates required before the school year, and approved contracts for pavement repairs, a tennis facility change order, out‑of‑district student placements and copier leases.
The Camas School District Board of Directors on July 28 approved a slate of policy readings, facilities contracts and student placement agreements, taking several votes the board said were necessary before the start of the 2025–26 school year.
Policies: The board approved multiple policies for first reading (including Policy 4220, 4311, 5161, 254, 5310, 6220, 6702 and 6801 as listed in board materials) and then completed a combined first, second reading and adoption for Policy 3246 (restraint, isolation and other use of reasonable force) and Policy 6600 (transportation). Board members said the expedited timeline was to ensure legal compliance prior to the school year.
Facilities and contracts: The board approved a contract with AA Asphalting LLC for pavement repairs at Sky Ridge Middle School for $72,397.65 (including sales tax). The board also approved change order No. 1 to the Camas High School covered tennis facility contract for $12,000 to cover additional contractor time spent responding to public comment and permitting reviews; the vendor name appears with inconsistent spellings in the meeting materials and transcript (recorded as "McCain's Pizzito," "McKay Spazito" in different places).
Student placements and services: The board approved two out-of-district placements for the 2025–26 school year: an agreement with Alpine Academy (Utah Youth Village) for one student, cost not to exceed $200,500; and an agreement with Maridel/Meridel Achievement Center for one student, cost not to exceed $265,200. The board also approved copier lease renewals with Pacific Office Automation: six machines at $740 per month for 60 months each, for a five-year total of $44,400 (excluding sales tax), paid from the general fund.
