Board hears Hillside Elementary report; approves flooring contract and adopts policies
Summary
Principal Lauren Bolster presented Hillside Elementary's demographic and achievement data, highlighting math growth and goals for ELA, trust and belonging. The board verbally approved a flooring contract (Quality Floors, not to exceed $660,891.50) and adopted policies following second reading.
The Clover Park School District Board of Directors heard a school performance report from Hillside Elementary and took several routine actions.
Principal Lauren Bolster presented Hillside's mission, student demographics and assessment results. She said Hillside serves a largely military-connected population, noting about 37.4% of students identify as Hispanic and that roughly 97% are military-connected. Bolster highlighted assessment gains: third-grade ELA proficiency at 33.9% and math proficiency improving to 38.5% in spring 2025, and fifth-grade ELA at 43.6% with math at 35.2%. She described school goals to raise ELA proficiency to 45% by June 2026, increase student growth percentiles, and strengthen trust and belonging metrics through PLCs, MTSS structures, restorative practices and a dual-language cohort expansion.
Board members asked about mobility, inclusion percentages for students with IEPs, staff diversity and program details such as Girls on the Run and the new dual-language cohort. Bolster described tiered supports, inclusion practices and plans to expand the dual-language program in the next year.
On action items, the board approved a capital project recommendation to award a systemwide flooring contract (contract number 2020-02143) through an Omnia Partners cooperative to Quality Floors, in an amount not to exceed $660,891.50 including tax and a 15% contingency. The district representative said the project was reviewed at the March 23 workshop and recommended the award; the board voted verbally to approve the contract.
The board also moved to adopt several policies that had completed first reading and workshop discussion; the policies were presented for second reading and adoption and the board approved them during the meeting. During discussion of policy 2151 (interscholastic activities language), several directors favored "option two," described as the most inclusive wording under consideration.
The board recessed into executive session to discuss legal matters after the reports and actions.
