Enumclaw school board approves three waivers, GMP amendment, names new elementary school and passes consent items
Summary
At its May 18 meeting the Enumclaw School District board approved three resolutions including two 180‑day school‑day waivers and a guaranteed maximum price amendment, approved a special inspections contract, named Elementary School No. 6 'Evergreen Trail Blazers' and passed routine consent items and policy updates.
The Enumclaw School District Board of Directors on May 18 approved several governance actions including three resolutions, a construction contract authorization, the formal name for a new elementary school and routine consent items.
Board President opened the meeting and the board first approved minutes from prior meetings after a motion by Director Fisher and a second from Director Stouffer. Later in the meeting Director Stouffer moved to approve three resolutions brought forward by staff; the board voted to approve all three. Those were identified in the meeting as Resolution 11‑68 (a 180‑school‑day waiver for transitional kindergarten), Resolution 1169 (a 180‑school‑day waiver intended to allow incoming ninth‑graders at Enumclaw High School to have a full day on campus) and Resolution 11‑70 (approval of a guaranteed maximum price amendment related to district construction).
The board then approved a request to authorize a special inspections and testing contract for a construction project; Director Stouffer moved and Director Fisher seconded that contract approval. The board also considered the naming of the district’s planned Elementary School No. 6. After a presentation of the naming committee’s process — which the board said included more than 250 candidate names and community input — Director Fisher moved to name the school the Evergreen Trail Blazers. Director Stouffer seconded the motion and the board approved the name.
During the administrative business portion the board completed second readings and voted to approve updates to several district policies, discussed the internal financial snapshot and approved payroll and vouchers. The consent agenda — covering personnel items, a proposed middle‑school ELA curriculum adoption, district surplus items (including vehicles, laptops and musical instruments), donations, a field‑trip request and the proposed 2026–27 fee schedule — was moved and approved. Board members noted the personnel report included a principal departure and that a posting had been issued for the vacancy.
All formal actions in the meeting were taken by motion and board vote; the president called for voice votes and motions were recorded as having passed with board members responding "Aye." No roll‑call vote tallies with individual member votes were provided in the transcript.
The board closed the public portion of the meeting and convened an executive session to review qualifications of an applicant for employment before adjourning at 8:56 p.m.
