Summary
The Granite Falls School Board approved a reduced educational support (classified staff) resolution prompted by the end of a co‑op agreement with Lake Stevens; directors discussed attrition, potential redeployment, and legal timing for reduction resolutions before voting by voice consent.
The board approved a resolution to reduce educational support (classified positions) after discussing the financial and operational impact of the ending co‑op with Lake Stevens.
Board members said the co‑op termination will reduce Crossroads enrollment and require staff adjustments. Directors discussed options including attrition and redeployment; staff noted that classified reductions were the district’s chosen approach and that other districts in the region have taken similar actions. The district emphasized that positions will be posted where possible and that redeployment can occur for qualified employees.
A motion "to approve the reduced educational support resolution" was made, seconded and carried by voice/consent; the meeting record shows the motion passed. Later the consent agenda also passed by unanimous consent and the meeting adjourned at 7:14 p.m.
What changed: the board approved a formal resolution to prepare for classified staffing reductions tied to the end of the Lake Stevens co‑op; district staff will follow routine timelines and provide additional information to the board and affected employees as required.
