Dieringer board approves capital projects extension, adopts policy 6910 and routine administrative items
Summary
The Dieringer School District board approved resolution 52526 to expand capital-project spending authority, adopted policy 6910 on second reading, and passed several administrative items including calendar and contract updates. Vote counts were recorded as voice "ayes."
The Dieringer School District Board of Directors on Tuesday approved a set of administrative measures and a capital projects budget extension intended to allow the district to begin or continue planned construction and facility work.
The board voted to adopt resolution 52526 to increase the district's expenditure authority for capital projects so work funded by the recently passed capital levy can proceed. A finance presenter told the board the extension amount was “$2,800,000,” and during discussion also cited a more precise figure of $2,829,100; the board approved the resolution by voice vote after a motion and second.
In addition to the capital extension, the board approved a second reading of policy 6910 (motion and second, voice vote), approved a revised 2026-27 school-year calendar (moving the first day of TTK/kindergarten from Sept. 8 to Sept. 4 to accommodate WA Kids family-connection meetings), accepted a one-year MOU extension for DACE for 2025-26, and revised the board's meeting schedule for the coming months. The board also approved a facilities fee schedule for 2026-27 (fees for the new NTMS turf field were not included), renewed its WIAA membership by resolution, and accepted a PTA donation of $1,585.72 for a poster printer for Derringer Heights.
All voted items were approved by voice vote; the meeting record shows members responding "aye" to motions and the chair declaring motions carried. The capital extension specifically was presented as necessary because the district has the funds but must increase its authorized annual expenditure cap to spend them in the current fiscal year.
Board members said the extension will allow projects such as the North Taps Middle School turf field to move forward. The finance presenter described the extension amount first as $2,800,000 and later referenced $2,829,100; the board did not provide a separate roll-call tally in the transcript.
What happens next
With resolution 52526 approved, district staff said they will proceed with the planned capital work within the newly authorized expenditure capacity. Financial reports were scheduled to be presented at the June board meeting for further detail.
