10/13/2026 Educational Services Committee Meeting

The WUSD Board of Education Educational Services Committee met on October 13, 2026. Members reviewed plans for the October 29 professional development day, including elementary staff training on small-group instruction and assessment data, secondary content-team work, and de-escalation and behavior-management training. They also discussed building-level academic action plans and how student data will be monitored during the year. The committee reviewed a draft safety plan that standardizes emergency response procedures; staff will finalize it for presentation to the full board. A member proposed arranging history-class visits to a private collection, and the committee discussed the educational opportunity without making a spending decision. No procurement activity, contract award, or purchasing approval was identified; the only vote was to adjourn.

The committee added a future agenda item to review library collection development and selection criteria, including literary quality and current materials. A public commenter asked whether the district should have a curriculum director. The identified follow-up actions were to circulate the finalized professional development plan and complete the safety plan for the full board.
