Board approves field house acceptance, safety upgrades and HVAC contract; endorses revised WASDA platform positions

At the meeting the board approved several single‑reading actions and a revised legislative platform position.

The board approved Resolution 26‑05 accepting the public works contract for the Edmonds Woodway High School multipurpose field house; presenters noted the project is funded by the district’s 2021 levy. The board then approved Resolution 26‑09, accepting a public works contract for phase‑1 fire alarm upgrades at Alderwood Early Childhood Center, Martha Lake Elementary, Briar Elementary and Hazelwood Elementary; the project is also levy‑supported.

A contract award to Long Building Technologies Incorporated for HVAC upgrades at Linwood High School passed by voice vote. The board also approved a corrected emergency waiver request for the 2025–26 school year (the previous version contained an incorrect date).

Separately, legislative representative Tom Trier presented a revised set of amendments to the district’s recommended platform positions for the Washington Association of School District Administrators (WASDA). Changes added an explicit requirement that any regulatory expectations be “fully, amply, and equitably funded,” sought guidance and support for evaluation and ongoing implementation, proposed prohibiting non‑human entities from using titles that imply they are credentialed educators (an AI‑title prohibition), and restored student‑data privacy expectations including meaningful consent for commercial uses. The board moved, amended and approved the revised platform position and will submit it to WASDA before the stated deadline.

Votes were taken by voice; the transcript records approved/"aye" responses but does not provide a numeric roll‑call tally for each item.
