Board accepts community donations and receives updates on 2022 bond projects and construction agreements
Summary
The Northshore board approved booster-club donations to athletics and drama, accepted reports on six projects under $1 million from the 2022 bond, and reviewed construction agreements for Crystal Springs and Fernwood elementary projects and stormwater covenants with King County.
The Northshore School District board approved two community donations and reviewed multiple 2022 bond construction reports and agreements during its working session.
Donations: Superintendent Justin Irish presented a gift from the Jaguar Booster Club to North Creek High School to fund six football coaching stipends for the 2025-26 season and a football subscription; the board moved, seconded and approved the donation. The board also approved a donation from the Inglemore High School drama boosters to cover six technical-staff positions (technical director, shop assistant, costume designer, orchestral conductor, vocal director and choreographer) for the 2025-26 drama season.
Bond projects and construction agreements: Dr. Irish reported six completed projects each under $1,000,000 funded by the 2022 bond, including security access controls at Cottage Lake Elementary and Kenmore Middle School, security fencing at Inglemore High School and multiple exterior lighting improvements across elementary and middle schools. The board received a capital-project status update for the 08/2022 growth projects and discussed whether future-phase descriptions would be helpful in reporting visuals for multi-phase sites.
Crystal Springs and Fernwood: The board reviewed routine construction documents for Crystal Springs Elementary (bills of sale for water and sewer) and for Fernwood Elementary, noting that newly constructed portions can now connect to an extended sewer line while older facilities remain on septic and may be future projects.
King County stormwater covenants: The superintendent reported signed construction agreements with King County for stormwater maintenance at Cottage Lake Playground, East Ridge Elementary portable and Kenmore Elementary modernization. District staff explained these permits typically include mitigation and covenants to ensure plantings and other measures are maintained.
Why it matters: The actions show ongoing implementation of the 2022 bond projects and community support for extracurricular programs. Board discussion focused on process and reporting detail; no funding authorizations beyond previously approved bond funding were made in this session.
Next steps: Staff will continue project reporting and provide additional materials (slides) on bond and levy phases when appropriate.
