BSD Regular Board Meeting March 19, 2026

The Bellevue School District held its regular board meeting on March 19, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on the approval of three bond resolutions totaling a proposed bond sale of $100 million for capital facilities projects. These projects include the completion of Newport High School's transitions program sensory garden and the rebuild of Big Picture Replacement, scheduled to open in fall 2026. The board approved resolutions 2026-04, 2026-05, and 2026-07, which cover bond registration, participation in the state's school bond guarantee program to reduce borrowing costs, and issuance parameters for the bonds. Additionally, the board approved the 2025-26 Advanced Learning Plan, which outlines the district's approach to highly capable student programs and funding. The meeting also included extensive discussions on educational programs, community engagement, and operational updates, but no other direct procurement or contracting decisions were noted.
