Board approves 180-day waivers, construction inspections contract and names new elementary school
Summary
At its May 18 meeting the Enumclaw School District board approved three resolutions (including 180-day waivers), a guaranteed-maximum-price amendment and a special inspections contract, and voted to name Elementary School No. 6 the Evergreen Trail Blazers.
The Enumclaw School District board voted May 18 to approve multiple governance items, including three resolutions that the chair described as waivers and a guaranteed-maximum-price amendment, approved a special inspections and testing contract for a construction project, and formally named the district’s new elementary school.
Board President presided over the roll call and asked for motions on three resolutions described in the agenda as: "resolution 11 68" (a 180-school-day waiver for transitional kindergarten), "resolution 1 1 6 9" (a 180-school-day waiver affecting Einpah High School scheduling) and "Resolution 11 70" (approval of a guaranteed maximum price amendment). Director Stouffer moved to approve the three resolutions and the board approved them by voice vote. The chair announced, "All 3 resolutions have passed." (Chair)
The board also approved a special inspections and testing contract for an ongoing construction project. Director Stouffer made the motion to approve the contract and Director Fisher seconded; the motion passed by voice vote.
On naming, the board considered community input gathered by a naming committee that reviewed more than 250 suggestions. Director Fisher moved to name Elementary School No. 6 and its mascot the Evergreen Trail Blazers; after a second and brief discussion, the board approved the name by voice vote.
Other routine items approved on May 18 included second-reading approvals of several policies (board operating principles, comprehensive school counseling program guidance, sick-leave and construction-related policies), approval of payroll and vouchers, and a consent agenda containing personnel actions, curriculum adoption items, surplus property and fee-schedule proposals. Board members noted a personnel departure listed in the personnel report and an open posting for that position.
No roll-call tallies were recorded in the public discussion; actions were taken by voice vote. The board moved on to other agenda items and later recessed into executive session to review applicant qualifications for employment.
What the board will do next: materials implying next steps — including publication of approved GMP amendment details, contract documentation and implementation timelines for the construction project — were not specified in the discussion.
