7.28.26 School Board Meeting

The Darrington School District board meeting, held July 28, 2026 (the meeting title date; metadata lists July 29), included approval of the 2026–27 budget adoption resolution 4560726. The budget was described as generally balanced, with enrollment projected at 380 and uncertain levy revenue treated cautiously; the district included spending capacity for potential grants and levy proceeds but said it would not spend funds if the levy fails. The board also approved agreements and contracts, though the transcript provides no vendor or dollar details, and approved surplus sale of old field-light poles through an online auction. A non-represented salary schedule and personnel actions were also approved.

Facilities work discussed included drainage repairs, summer building preparation, and a planned solar-panel project awaiting a permit and a part. The district reported an anticipated approximately $14,000 contribution from Luma BrightStart to cover school supplies; Cascade Lumber was credited with providing about 40 sheets of plywood, and Washington Compost with donating material for a project. No specific vote on those donations or the solar work is recorded. The board also discussed the resignation of an administrator, school staffing and enrollment, and the upcoming levy; no other clearly identifiable procurement awards or vendor selections were detailed.
