Board approves carpet amendment, a 10‑passenger van and provisional certificated hires
Summary
At its Aug. 14 meeting, the board approved a small contract amendment to add three classrooms for carpet replacement, authorized purchase of a grant‑funded 10‑passenger van for Washington Middle College, approved employment of certificated staff on provisional permits, and adopted the 2025–26 governance calendar (with an added spring safety update).
The Washington Unified School District board approved several action items during the Aug. 14 meeting.
Amendment to Flooring Contract: Staff requested approval of Amendment No. 1 with DFS Flooring to include three classrooms discovered after the initial bidwalk for the Bridgeway Island K‑8 carpet refresh project. The facilities project analyst said those rooms were missed on the original map; the board approved the amendment by voice vote. The additional quote described in the meeting was about $1,000 to close out the contract.
10‑Passenger Van for Washington Middle College: Assistant Superintendent Audrey and Principal Rachel Lane asked the board to authorize purchase of a 10‑passenger vehicle to transport Washington Middle College High School students to Sacramento City College for coursework and field trips. The van purchase is funded by a grant with ongoing LCAP funds set aside for maintenance and fuel; trustees approved the purchase by voice vote.
Employment of Certificated Staff on Provisional Permits: Assistant Superintendent Sheay Burgess requested approval to employ certificated staff under provisional permits (interns, PIPs) for the 2025–26 school year; trustees approved the slate by motion and voice vote.
Board Governance Calendar: Trustees adopted the proposed 2025–26 board governance calendar with one change requested by trustees — an added spring safety update; staff noted some calendar items are legally mandated and that additional scheduling details will be provided at upcoming meetings.
Votes and motions: All items were approved by motion and voice vote; the meeting record shows motions and seconds, followed by unanimous voice votes. No roll‑call tallies with member‑by‑member votes were recorded in the transcript.
Next steps: Staff will return with implementation details (contract closeout for the carpet project, vehicle procurement and driver certification plans, hiring paperwork for provisional permit employees, and calendar scheduling details for future meetings).
