Board tables CTE five-year plan and property appraisal for further staff work
Summary
Board moved and approved motions to table the CTE five-year plan until brick-and-mortar high school input is provided and to table an appraisal of local parcels pending further discussion; both items were tabled by voice vote.
During new and continuing business the board discussed the district’s CTE five-year plan, with presenters describing expanded pathways (including pharmaceutical technology and pharmacy-tech certification plans) and dual-credit articulation. Board members expressed concerns about capacity at the brick-and-mortar high school and asked that Brenda and high-school staff present revised material; a motion to table the CTE plan until the brick-and-mortar high school can present was made and seconded and carried by voice vote.
The board also considered commissioning appraisals for parcels near transportation and the former Pay N Save site to preserve options for parking or a middle-school footprint. Staff cited typical appraisal costs ("about $2,500" upfront and $2,500 on completion) and noted state RCW requirements for certified appraisals; the board voted to table the appraisal action pending more detailed discussion of intended uses and property-specific recommendations.
