Summary
The Lake Stevens School District Board unanimously approved the consent agenda including $776,242.07 in warrants, accepted a $20,000 donation to Hillcrest ASB, finalized personnel items and awarded two technology contracts to Ednetics worth $478,634.07 and $337,288.95 (plus tax).
The Lake Stevens School District Board of Directors voted unanimously on Feb. 26 to approve several routine fiscal and personnel items and to award two technology contracts to Ednetics, Inc.
The board approved Warrant Nos. 315871 to 316027 totaling $776,242.07 and accepted a $20,000 donation from Hillcrest PTA to Hillcrest ASB, as part of a consent agenda motion by Director David Iseminger, seconded by Director Paul Lund. The consent agenda also included a personnel report listing multiple hires and resignations and the retirement of a certificated special-education staff member effective June 20, 2025.
In two separate motions, the board awarded Ednetics a $478,634.07 contract (plus tax) for network upgrades at Hillcrest and Stevens Creek elementaries and the Early Learning Center (motion by Director Vildan Kirby, seconded by Director Nina Hanson) and a $337,288.95 contract (plus tax) for wireless-equipment upgrades at Cavelero Mid-High and Hillcrest, Mt. Pilchuck and Sunnycrest elementaries (motion by Director Nina Hanson, seconded by Director David Iseminger). Both motions passed unanimously.
Director Nina Hanson noted her appreciation for the evening's presentations and for district staff work that informs procurement decisions. Director Paul Lund abstained from the vote to approve the Feb. 18 special meeting minutes earlier in the evening because he had not attended that meeting; that abstention did not affect the later unanimous approvals.
The approved personnel items listed new hires across certificated and classified roles and routine co-curricular approvals. The district also authorized surplus of specified assets. The board adjourned at 8:04 p.m.
