School Board Work Session 10-27-2026

Westfield Washington Schools board work session, October 27, 2026: District staff presented proposed high school and middle school schedule changes. The high school proposal uses alternating green/gold days with 90-minute classes, four lunches, and core/flex time; the middle school plan extends core classes from 45 to 60 minutes, adds team collaboration time, and rotates exploratory electives. These plans remain under development, with the detailed bell schedule and explanations expected to come to the board in the spring. No procurement actions, contract awards, or purchasing votes were identified.

Staff also reviewed assessment data and initiatives involving MTSS, special education, multilingual learners, high-ability programming, and student support. A counseling presentation identified possible staffing additions—including two high-school counselors, social workers, and therapists—contingent on a successful referendum; these were discussed as future support needs, not as approved expenditures. No specific budget allocation or spending motion was reported.
