Regular Board Meeting - 10.26.26

The Othello School District Regular Board Meeting on October 26, 2026, included approval of the consent agenda (4–0) and accounts payable warrants No. 2 (3–0, with one abstention); the transcript gives no warrant total. The board also heard a presentation from Scootney Springs staff on instructional alignment, student achievement, multilingual learner supports, and attendance. No contract awards, vendor selections, or competitive procurements were identified.

The superintendent presented a draft resolution for a proposed capital levy for school facility improvements and safety upgrades. The board did not take action on the draft; formal consideration was planned for the November 9 meeting. The district said the levy would be limited to the previously communicated rate of 97 cents, and discussed communicating its intent to stop collecting the levy if a future bond passes. The district also plans to solicit people to write pro and con statements for the voters’ guide. The transcript does not specify project-level dollar amounts.
