Northshore board approves Inglemore state-match verification, booster donations and custodians’ contract
Summary
The board approved Resolution 909 to verify Inglemore High School Phase 1 for state matching funds, accepted two booster-club donations (a $14,000 boys-basketball gift and a $20,000 football donation), and ratified a custodians' collective bargaining agreement effective Sept. 1, 2025–Aug. 31, 2027.
At a Sept. 23, 2025 working session, the Northshore School District Board of Directors approved several action items that advance capital work and staffing support at Inglemore High School and finalized a contract with custodial staff.
Resolution 909: Superintendent Dr. Justin Irish said the state requires a board resolution to verify that projects qualify for state matching funds under the state’s capital-match rules. The board approved Resolution 909 for the Inglemore High School Phase 1 replacement project, enabling the district to pursue the modest state match available to districts that have passed bonds. Director Sandy Hayes reminded the board that the district relies primarily on local bond funding and that the state match is a small supplemental amount.
Donations: The board accepted two booster-club gifts for Inglemore athletics. The Inglemore Boys Basketball Booster Club donated $14,000 to fund additional boys-basketball coaching positions. The Inglemore Gridiron Football Booster Club donated $20,000 to the football program, allocating up to $10,000 for additional coaches and up to $10,000 for program needs. Superintendent Irish presented the items and the board approved both donations.
Custodians collective bargaining agreement: The district and the custodians group affiliated with Teamsters Local 763 reached a tentative agreement on Aug. 4, 2025. The board reviewed an executive summary and a red-line tentative agreement and approved the renewal covering Sept. 1, 2025, through Aug. 31, 2027. Board members thanked custodial staff and noted the agreement aligns with the district’s fiscal constraints while recognizing the work custodians perform for students.
Votes and next steps: Each action item was moved, seconded and approved by the board; the transcript records voice votes and approvals but does not include individual roll-call tallies for these items. The passage of Resolution 909 allows the district to continue pursuing state-match funding for the Inglemore replacement project; donation funds will be administered by the district according to booster-club designations; the custodians’ contract takes effect Sept. 1, 2025.
