Eatonville School Board of Directors Business Meeting 08/26/2026

The Eatonville School Board of Directors’ business meeting on August 26, 2026, covered the proposed 2026–27 budget and several service agreements and facility projects. The budget presentation was postponed to the following month because of statewide data and system issues; the proposed budget totals approximately $38.07 million and includes a $100,000 buffer. The district projected a roughly $1.797 million fund-balance drawdown, leaving about $1.163 million at year-end, and discussed future budget reductions and revenue pressures. The transcript does not clearly show a vote on the budget resolution. The board approved two ESD 113 interlocal agreements covering offsite virtual-machine hosting and technical support, and approved other agreements for student and school-health services, including a grant-supported nursing arrangement and expanded behavioral supports.

Facilities updates included completion of stadium improvements funded through grants, levy revenue, legislative support, and local efforts; the sound system and scoreboard advertising boards were also being installed. Transportation reported that six buses had been replaced during the year, alongside increased fuel costs, but no new bus purchase approval or amount was identified. The board also approved a bundle of policy updates. Members discussed the need to pursue additional state support for rural-school transportation and other revenue sources amid projected budget constraints.
