Board approves consent agenda, adopts two curricula and two policies; timeline set for final budget adoption
Summary
At its June 24 meeting the Wenatchee School District Board approved the consent agenda, adopted dual-language ELA and high-school psychology curricula, and approved two board policies: transitional kindergarten (Policy 2230) and student electronic devices (Policy 3245).
The Wenatchee School District Board took several formal actions at its June 24 meeting, approving routine business items, adopting new instructional materials and approving two updated policies.
Most important outcomes - Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda, which included minutes, vouchers and payroll, personnel and surplus reports, contracts, field trips, the April financial report, the WIAA resolution, the June enrollment report and the 2024–25 highly capable district plan survey. Martin moved the motion and Mark seconded; the motion carried after members responded “aye.”
- Curriculum adoptions: The board approved two curriculum adoptions presented at the meeting. - Dual language ELA/SLA curriculum from Benchmark Education was approved. (Motion: moved by Martin; seconded by Mark; outcome: approved.) - High-school psychology curriculum (textbook selection) was approved following board review. (Motion: moved and seconded; outcome: approved.)
- Policy adoptions (second readings): The board approved two policies on second read. - Policy 2230 — Transition to Kindergarten (motion moved and seconded; outcome: approved). The board adopted the policy after a second reading and brief discussion. - Policy 3245 — Student Electronic Devices (motion moved and seconded; outcome: approved). Board discussion noted an accompanying procedure that had been revised and circulated to board members for operational details; the board adopted the policy while administrators will manage procedural implementation.
Votes and procedure notes - For items taken under simple voice vote the transcript records board members responding “aye” and the president declaring the motion carried; formal roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript for these items. - The board followed its normal process for second readings and formal adoption of policy after prior public notice and prior first readings.
Ending: The board completed the action-item portion of the agenda and moved on to superintendent and board reports. The district’s budget schedule (public hearing Aug. 12 and adoption Aug. 26) was also reiterated during the meeting.
