Elma School Board Mtg - Aug 26, 2026

The Elma School Board meeting, identified in the title as August 26, 2026, approved the 2026–27 Satsop School District food services agreement and an increase in adult meal prices; no price or agreement amount was stated. The board also received a facilities update: exterior painting of the middle school gym, with the tower included, was estimated at $41,000, but no approval or funding decision was made. An invoice for stands had been received and was being processed. Staff also flagged aging high school water heaters as a potential future expense and discussed possible alignment of facility improvements with clean-building requirements and grant funding.

The board scheduled a retreat for the evening of October 7 to continue strategic-plan work, including student outcomes, facilities, and budget priorities. It approved several policies on final or first reading, while policy 2230 on transition to kindergarten was tabled for further review in light of enrollment and program-planning questions.
