School Board Meeting: October 28, 2026

The Wenatchee School District Board meeting on October 28, 2026, included approval of the consent agenda, which covered vouchers and payroll, a surplus report, contracts, field trips, enrollment, personnel, and school improvement plans. The motion carried, but the meeting provided no contract details, vendor selections, dollar amounts, or specific purchasing actions. The board also received an enrollment forecast: enrollment was 39 students below the prior year in October, with an estimated year-end decline of about 65; staff discussed effects of the Valley Academy expansion and high-school accelerated pathways on enrollment and planning.

A major topic was the district facilities bond, which voters were due to decide on November 3. District staff reviewed community outreach and planning with project and financial partners, including a potential bond sale with Piper Sandler, and said the district was preparing for either outcome. The discussion did not include a board vote to authorize a bond sale or award a construction contract. The board also reviewed attendance-improvement goals and received student activity updates; no other procurement decisions were identified.
