Enumclaw board approves three resolutions, a construction testing contract and names new elementary 'Evergreen Trail Blazers'
Summary
At its May 18 meeting the Enumclaw Board approved three resolutions (two 180‑day school‑day waivers and a GMP amendment), authorized a special inspections and testing contract, approved several policy updates and adopted the name "Evergreen Trail Blazers" for Elementary School No. 6. The board also approved payroll/vouchers and the consent agenda.
The Enumclaw School District board took a series of formal actions at its May 18 meeting, approving resolutions and routine governance items and naming the district's new elementary school.
The board voted to approve three resolutions presented together: a 180‑school‑day waiver for transitional kindergarten (Resolution 1168), a 180‑school‑day waiver for Einpah High School (Resolution 1169), and approval of a guaranteed maximum price amendment (Resolution 1170). After a motion and a second, the president announced, "All 3 resolutions have passed." The transcript records no opposition during the roll-call vote.
The board also approved a special inspections and testing contract for a construction project after a motion from Director Stouffer and a second from Director Fisher; the chair announced the motion passed. The contract vote followed clarifying remarks about the GMP authorization earlier in the meeting.
On naming, a community committee had recommended finalists for Elementary School No. 6. Director Fisher moved to name the school and mascot the "Evergreen Trail Blazers," the motion was seconded and the chair announced the motion passed. A board member thanked the committee and noted analytics and community feedback were part of the decision.
Policy work included a first reading of several policies and a second reading of updates on ethical conduct for school directors, a student-harassment policy, property and data management, and facilities records; the board approved the second-reading updates after noting they were minor revisions.
Routine approvals included the internal financial report, payroll and vouchers, and a consent agenda covering personnel items, a proposed middle school ELA curriculum adoption (presentation previously provided), surplus items and a proposed fee schedule for 2026–27. The consent agenda passed following a motion and second.
What's next: Several approvals (construction GMP amendment, contracts) will move to implementation steps handled by district administration; no dates or formal start dates for the GMP contract or superintendent start were specified in the transcript.
