Lake Stevens board approves construction contract amendments, personnel items and donation
Summary
The Lake Stevens School District Board unanimously approved consent items including personnel actions and a $1,000 donation for student meal debt relief, and passed multiple resolutions and contract amendments advancing New Elementary School Eight and safety projects.
The Lake Stevens School District Board of Directors unanimously approved a consent agenda, multiple resolutions and contract amendments during its April 29, 2026 regular meeting, moving several capital projects and personnel actions forward.
The board approved the consent agenda, which included May 1, 2026 vouchers and warrants, classified hires and separations, the co-curricular report and a $1,000 donation from the Lake Stevens Education Foundation to the district food and nutrition services for student meal debt relief. Director Mari Taylor moved the consent agenda, Director Ryan Dickson seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
Why it matters: The votes clear routine operational items and free staff to continue project work and hiring. The donation specifically targets student meal debt, a recurring local concern.
Key motions and outcomes: Directors approved a correction to a resolution numbering and accepted educational specifications for SILC (corrected to Resolution No. 6-26); they granted final acceptance of public works projects; approved Resolution No. 10-26 (final GMP amendment three to the GC/CM contract for New Elementary School Eight) and Resolution No. 11-26 (intent to construct New Elementary School Eight); approved Resolution No. 12-26 (final GMP amendment three for the Safety and Program Improvements Project); and authorized signing an electrical easement with Snohomish PUD for the New Elementary Eight project. All motions were seconded and approved by roll call or unanimous voice vote.
On the New Elementary School Eight actions, Director Paul Lund thanked project teams, saying the work has been “really exciting” and acknowledging the effort involved in advancing a large capital project. President David Iseminger also noted the level of work required to bring the projects to this stage.
The board adjourned at 8:43 p.m. with no further action scheduled.
Provenance: Board motions and roll-call approvals are recorded in the meeting packet and appear in the meeting transcript between SEG 030 and SEG 048.
