The Weisetta Public Schools Board of Education on March 9 approved routine policy updates and adopted a resolution to appoint election judges for the April 14 special election.
Dr. Chase Anderson presented two policies (Policy 101, legal status of the district; Policy 104, district mission statement) that had been reviewed by the policy committee and recommended for final approval. The board approved the policies by voice vote after a brief procedural exchange; no substantive changes were reported.
The board then adopted a resolution to appoint election judges for the April 14, 2026 special election. District election clerk Amy G. presented the resolution; the board approved it by roll‑call vote with the following responses: Alicia Little — yes; Paris Bendy — absent; Sheila Prior — yes; Heidi Kedar — yes; Valentina Ays — yes; Dan Janestra — yes; Milan Sahony — yes. The motion carried.
Executive director for finance Trevor Peterson presented combined financial reports through Jan. 31, 2026 (seven months of the fiscal year). He reported general‑fund revenue year‑to‑date of approximately $123 million (about 53% of budget) and expenditures of roughly $109 million (about 45.9% of budget). Peterson said staff are preparing a revised budget for later review and noted the district’s MLAF cash balance at about $50.5 million and current yields near the mid‑3% range. He also said the district received a preliminary official statement related to a planned tender/refunding; the process is on schedule but no financial action was taken at the meeting.
No board member opposed any of the motions. The board also heard a public comment asking the district to adopt a plant‑based milk policy (see separate item).
