Snoqualmie Valley School District board unanimously seeks environmental review of Jupiter project

At a special virtual meeting, the Snoqualmie Valley School District Board of Directors unanimously adopted Resolution 901, requesting an environmental impact study of the Jupiter project. The board said community concerns motivated the action.

The chair introduced item 2.01 and thanked parents and other community members who raised safety and operational concerns related to the Jupiter project. “We feel that this resolution is going to ensure the safety and operations of our district if this project is approved,” the chair said during the meeting.

A board member moved to adopt Resolution 901 and another seconded the motion. The board voted in favor; the motion passed unanimously. Five board members were present for the special meeting.

After the vote, a speaker explained a minor edit made to the posted resolution: section seven was amended to reference the district’s currently adopted School Board Policy 6890. “The addition was … connecting it to currently adopted school board policy number 6890,” the speaker said, and noted that Policy 6890 was adopted on Aug. 19, 2010. The board said the revision was the only change made after the resolution was posted online.

The board also approved the meeting agenda at the start of the session and adopted a consent‑agenda travel request later in the meeting; both motions passed by voice vote. Board members confirmed the resolution is posted on BoardDocs for public review and the chair declined a request to read the full text aloud.

With no further business, the chair adjourned the special meeting.

The district did not discuss a timeline or next procedural steps for commissioning the environmental impact study during the recorded segments; those details were not specified in the meeting record.
