September 28, 2026 Board of Directors Regular Meeting

The September 28, 2026 regular meeting of the Darrington School District Board of Directors included approval of the agenda and consent agenda, student recognition, public comment, policy readings, superintendent goals, and July financial reports. The Darringer Education Foundation presented grants for district needs: $25,732 as the final contribution toward the Darringer Heights Elementary reader board, $7,500 for the school’s dancing classroom program, and continued support for sixth-grade camp (no amount stated). The board voted to accept the foundation’s donations. The foundation also previewed its upcoming fundraising auction.

The financial report noted a capital-projects payment of more than $357,000 toward the North Tapps track and field, with additional progress payments expected through December, and a substantial payment for road replacement work. The district reported that the track surface and field were complete and that a new, more efficient John Deere mower had been purchased using capital-project funds; no contract amounts or mower price were stated. The presentation also referenced the completed reader board, which had faced an earlier district bid exceeding $100,000 before community assistance helped complete the work. No new competitive bid or contract award was approved at this meeting.
