Board approves MOUs with College Success Foundation, data sharing, and West Sound STEM/Melinda Gates grant
Summary
The board approved several memoranda of understanding to provide college- and career-readiness services, data-sharing access for partner counselors, and to accept West Sound STEM funds coupled with a Melinda Gates Foundation grant to support local CTE and STEM activities.
The Quillayute Valley School District board approved three MOUs during the meeting: a services MOU with the College Success Foundation and partner institutions, a separate data‑sharing MOU to permit partner staff limited access to Skyward, and an MOU to accept West Sound STEM funds tied to a Melinda Gates Foundation grant.
Staff described the College Success Foundation agreement as part of a multi-district, multi-year grant that provides a rotating counselor who will support college- and career-readiness activities across partner schools. On the data-sharing MOU, staff said the purpose is to permit hired partner staff to access student records in Skyward to support counseling work; the board approved both items by voice vote.
Board members also reviewed the West Sound STEM and Melinda Gates Foundation arrangement. During discussion staff referred to the grant amount in the meeting as "1,000,000.5? Million and 0.5" while confirming multi-year funding across 2025–27; the board approved the MOU to accept the STEM funds and grant support by voice vote. The board asked staff to verify award details and follow up as needed to confirm exact award amounts and effective periods.
