Granite Falls board approves school-health MOUs, property-line fix and consent agenda

During the Jan. 28 meeting the Granite Falls School Board approved multiple items of new business that the superintendent said will expand student access to health services and correct a municipal mapping error around a school site.

On two memoranda of understanding with CHC of Snohomish County, the board approved an agreement to provide free sports physicals (and some dental services) at district sites before the district’s school-based health center opens next fall. The superintendent said the arrangement is intended to remove a barrier to student participation in athletics by making physicals more accessible. A motion to approve the sports physicals MOU was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.

The board then approved a separate MOU with CHC of Snohomish County for dental outreach services. That motion was also moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

The board considered Resolution 25-26-10 to correct a property line that the city had shown running into the middle of a street; the board approved the resolution to realign the property description with the actual school site. The chair moved, a member seconded, and the board approved the resolution by voice vote.

Finally, the consent agenda — which included the previously noted donation of woodworking equipment to the district CTE program — passed with unanimous consent. No roll-call vote counts were recorded in the meeting transcript; votes were recorded by voice as "Aye." The meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
