Summary

The board adopted several routine resolutions and approved construction agreements and a bid award, including a precautionary reduction-in-force resolution, aggregate racial balance certification, GCCM compliance for high-school projects, Lakeridge parking bid award to BEAU Construction, and Absher Construction for Tully Heights expansion.

At its April 21 meeting, the Sumner Bonney Lake School District board approved a series of resolutions and construction contracts as part of its regular business matters.

The board adopted Resolution 1725-26 authorizing a nonrenewal/reduction-in-force mechanism as an annual precautionary measure to preserve the district's ability to act if necessary. President Lewis said the action is a routine, "just in case" step and does not reflect an immediate plan to reduce staff.

The board also adopted Resolution 1825-26 certifying aggregate racial balance for projects in the school construction assistance program, stating the projects will not create or worsen racial imbalance and do not affect attendance boundaries.

Resolution 1925-26 certified use of general-contractor/construction-manager (GCCM) contracting procedures and compliance with RCW 39.10 for improvement projects at BLHS, SHS and Holly Heights zone projects.

On construction awards, the board adopted Resolution 2025-26 awarding the Lakeridge Middle School parking and queuing improvements contract to BEAU Construction (bids opened 04/09/2026). The board also approved Resolution 2125-26 and a related contract awarding Absher Construction Company as the GCCM for the Tully Heights Elementary expansion and authorized the superintendent to execute the agreement; the board additionally approved the Absher contract referenced as 133-2019.

All listed motions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the meeting record shows no roll-call tallies in the transcript.
