At the May 18 meeting the Enumclaw School District board approved three resolutions including two 180-day school-day waivers and a GMP amendment, approved a special inspections contract, passed policy second readings and voted to name the new elementary school 'Evergreen Trail' with the 'Trail Blazers' mascot. All votes were taken by voice and recorded as "Aye."
The Enumclaw School District Board approved a package of routine governance actions at its May 18 meeting, including two calendar waivers, a construction guaranteed maximum price (GMP) amendment, a special inspections contract and the formal naming of a new elementary school.
During the resolutions portion of the agenda, President introduced three items: Res. 11-68, a 180-school-day waiver for transitional kindergarten; Res. 11-69, a 180-school-day waiver affecting Enumclaw High School grades 10–12; and Res. 11-70, authorization to execute a guaranteed maximum price amendment tied to a construction project. The board conducted discussion and approved all three resolutions by voice vote. One board member noted appreciation for clarification on the GMP authorization prior to the vote.
The board also moved to approve a special inspections and testing contract to support a construction project and voted in favor by voice.
On a separate motion, the board accepted a naming committee's recommendation and voted to name Elementary School No. 6 "Evergreen Trail" with the mascot "Trail Blazers." Director Fischer moved the naming motion and the board approved it by voice vote.
The board handled first readings of several policies and approved second readings for multiple updates, including policies related to board operating principles, counseling programs and construction financing. The financial report was presented; payroll and vouchers were approved and the consent agenda (personnel report, curriculum adoption proposal, surplus items, donations, field trip request and next-year fee schedule) passed on a single voice vote.
Transcript notes indicate votes were taken by voice with the chair asking, "All those in favor?" followed by responses of "Aye." The record in the public transcript does not include roll-call tallies or named vote records for these motions.
The meeting continued with a school presentation and other agenda items before the board entered executive session later in the evening.
