Enumclaw board approves three resolutions, construction contract item and names new elementary school
Summary
The Enumclaw School District board on May 18 approved three resolutions (two 180‑day waivers and a guaranteed maximum price amendment), authorized a special inspections and testing contract, approved several policy updates and named Elementary School No. 6 the "Evergreen Trail Blazers." All motions passed by voice vote.
The Enumclaw School District board voted May 18 to approve three resolutions, move forward with construction oversight and finalize the name of its new elementary school, among a package of routine operational items.
The board approved Resolution 11-68, a 180‑school‑day waiver for transitional kindergarten; Resolution 1169, a 180‑school‑day waiver relating to Einpah High School (grades 10–12) intended to allow incoming ninth graders a separate full day on campus; and Resolution 11-70, which authorizes a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) amendment related to district construction work. A motion to approve all three resolutions was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote ('Aye'). (The transcript records the motions and that all three resolutions passed; specific vote tallies were not recorded in the public transcript.)
The board also approved a special inspections and testing contract for a construction project after a motion from Director Stouffer and a second by Director Fisher; the motion passed on a voice vote.
On naming, the board considered a committee process that reviewed more than 250 suggestions and presented three finalists. Director Fisher moved to name Elementary School No. 6 the Evergreen Trail Blazers; the motion was seconded and approved by the board. Members thanked the naming committee and noted analytic work and community feedback informed the recommendation.
During the meeting the board completed first and second readings on several policy items and approved the second readings for updates including policy 18115 (ethical conduct for school directors), policy 3205 (harassment of students prohibited), policy 6570 (property and data management) and policy 6955 (maintenance of facilities records). The board also received its financial report, approved payroll and vouchers, and approved a consent agenda that included personnel actions, a middle-school ELA curriculum adoption proposal (presentation previously provided), district surplus items and a proposed fee schedule for the 2026–27 school year.
The meeting closed with a brief board process debrief followed by an executive session to review the qualifications of an applicant for employment; the board recorded it concluded the executive session and adjourned at 8:56 p.m.
Authorities and formal actions are recorded as presented to the board; where the public transcript records only voice votes without roll-call tallies, the meeting record states motions passed rather than providing numeric vote counts.
