Board reviews March finances; approves WIAA delegation and Maplewood K–8 public works contract
Summary
CFO Chris Cullison reported March 2026 general fund and capital trends and an Excel chart error; the board approved Resolution 26-07 delegating authority to the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association and Resolution 26-08 to accept the Maplewood K–8 public works contract (bond-funded).
CFO Chris Cullison reviewed the district’s March 2026 business and finance report, saying general fund trends were consistent with the prior year and outlining outliers in capital purchases (food‑service equipment and a maintenance vehicle). He told the board staff will attach corrected charts and materials to the meeting minutes after an Excel‑axis error created a spurious negative $20,000,000 visual on one chart.
Cullison also said district staff are working with a bond adviser to plan a next sale under the 2024 bond authorization; presenters described the first sale as approximately $200 million and said the next sale is anticipated to be around the same magnitude.
On new business the board unanimously approved two routine resolutions. Resolution 26‑07 delegates authority to the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association to permit district participation in WIAA sports; the board approved the resolution after a motion and second and no discussion. Resolution 26‑08 accepted the public works contract for the Maplewood K–8 space conversion project; board members noted the project is funded by the 2024 bond authorization and approved the resolution by voice vote.
Votes at a glance: • Resolution 26‑07 (delegate authority to WIAA): approved by the board (voice vote); mover/second not specified in the meeting transcript. • Resolution 26‑08 (accept public works contract for Maplewood K–8 conversion): approved by the board (voice vote); funding noted as coming from the 2024 bond authorization; mover/second not specified in the meeting transcript.
