COUPEVILLE SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING 30 JULY 2026

The Coupeville School District Board of Directors regular meeting was held July 30, 2026. The board approved the selection of 10W for traffic-engineering consulting services to assess the pros and cons of three elementary-school site options, including potential effects on Highway 20. It also approved Resolution 2026-15 authorizing membership in MRSC rosters, which will allow the district to use the roster to obtain bids for eligible work. The superintendent said the district plans to bid removal of a mound of material at the school site. The district reported that it had purchased a propane school bus; payment is expected in August after final inspections and servicing.

Budget discussions included a $10 million noise-mitigation project commitment, funded by a $9 million Department of Defense grant and a $1 million district contribution. A related RFQ process was underway, with responses due July 31, proposals expected August 20, and an intent to award anticipated by the end of August. Other project funding discussed included a $552,000 solar grant and a $42,200 Department of Commerce grant for an energy assessment. The district is also awaiting a decision on a separate $25 million DoD grant that could offset a potential elementary-school bond project; the board expects to consider whether to proceed with a bond in November. A consultant for the district’s strategic-planning process is being evaluated, but no selection was reported. The meeting included a budget presentation, but the transcript does not document a vote adopting the budget.
