Mercer Island board agrees to advance WASDA resolution on safe‑school policy to association committee
Summary
Directors voted to advance a revised Region 2 WASDA position on safe‑school policy to WASDA's resolutions committee and the general assembly; the board framed the change as policy guidance rather than operations and asked staff to submit the packet.
The Mercer Island School District board discussed and advanced a resolution packet for submission to the Washington Association of School Directors (WASDA). Directors debated a draft that included bullet points students had suggested and weighed whether some language could be construed as operational rather than governance; they decided to forward the Region 2 revision to WASDA's resolutions committee and then to the general assembly for consideration.
A director noted that if the board did not move the revised language forward, the original WASDA position would still go to the general assembly. After brief discussion, the board conducted an assent vote and the motion to submit the Region 2 revision carried by voice vote.
Staff will complete the formal submission to WASDA and report back to the board on committee reception and any recommended changes.
