Pullman board approves interlocal with city, raises general‑fund reserve to 10% and adopts fees and course changes

The Pullman School District board approved several business items after presentations and brief discussion.

Interlocal agreement with City of Pullman: Justin presented an interlocal focused on Sunnyside Elementary and Military Hill Park. He told the board that if the city does not schedule or maintain Quon Field this summer, "Pullman School District will be required to schedule it for the summer as well as maintain" and said the district intends to keep past levels of city access to school facilities. The board approved the interlocal agreement by voice vote.

Policy 6000 — reserve increase: The finance committee recommended a revision to policy 6000 to raise the general‑fund minimum fund balance from 7.5% to 10% of annual expenditures and clarify that the reserve is intended to cover one month of payroll and accounts payable obligations. Diane stated the dollar equivalent is about $4.1 to $4.2 million (described as the equivalent of one payroll and accounts payable). The board approved the policy revision; Diane said she will notify the auditor about the change.

2026–27 fee schedules and course approvals: Bob presented corrected fee details (art class $25; art club $20) that had been fixed from a prior agenda. The board approved the Lincoln Middle School and Pullman High School fee schedules and approved the 2026–27 course offerings for both schools after motions and voice votes.

WIAA membership: The board approved the annual WIAA membership resolution, a required action to continue offering athletics and activities.

All of the listed items were approved on voice votes; the meeting record shows motions, seconds, and chair calls for ayes, with no roll‑call tallies provided in the transcript.
