Loading...
Summary
After public comment the board approved two playground-project acceptances funded by the 2022 bond, approved Amendment No. 2 to the Leota Middle School Phase 2 architectural agreement, and voted to find Superintendent Dr. Justin Irish in compliance with facilities policy.
After more than an hour of public comment, the Northshore School District board moved through consent and action items at the April 27 study session and approved several capital and governance items by voice vote.
The board accepted two completed projects described by administration as playground improvement projects at Kokanee and Frank Love (noted as project acceptances exceeding $1,000,000) and thanked voters who approved the 2022 bond that funded the work. The projects were approved by voice vote and passed unanimously.
Next, the board considered Amendment No. 2 to the Leota Middle School Phase 2 architectural agreement, a supplement to a previously negotiated contract for the replacement of Leota Middle School. Administration recommended approval; the motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Later in the meeting, Dr. Justin Irish presented the monitoring report for Superintendent Parameter 14 (facilities) and certified that the report was accurate as of April 27, 2026. A board member moved that the superintendent has reasonably interpreted the relevant policy and is in compliance; the board voted by voice and the finding of compliance passed unanimously.
Votes tonight were voice votes without individually recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript. No board action was taken on public-comment items (SRO or HiCap) at this meeting.
