# Regular Governing Board Meeting - Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 6:15 p.m.


**Body:** Washington Elementary School District
**Date:** November 11, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

**Tags:** Education, Grants & Funding


The Washington Elementary School District Governing Board’s regular meeting on November 12, 2026, included no contract awards or purchasing approvals. The board discussed a potential memorandum of understanding with American InterContinental University (AIU) to offer district employees education and leadership programs. AIU described a master’s program costing employees $5,000 after a $15,000 institutional grant, with possible payment through payroll deductions or a service commitment. This was an informational discussion only; no action was taken, and board members raised concerns about AIU’s history, program quality, credential portability, and alternative training options. District staff said an MOU could return for board consideration at a future meeting. The board also discussed the voter-approved M&O override, which will support continued full-day kindergarten, music, art, PE, and other programs; no specific dollar amount was stated.

The board approved the consent agenda and meeting minutes, and later voted to adjourn. The meeting also recognized schools’ 2025–26 academic results and included a presentation on state education legislation, including a law requiring school districts to obtain quotes for self-insurance coverage and services every four years. No procurement action related to that requirement was taken at this meeting.
