Everett Public Schools Regular Board Meeting 05.26.2026

The Everett Public Schools Board of Directors held their regular meeting on May 26, 2026. The meeting included recognition of student achievements and core value champions, updates on sustainability efforts, and a detailed presentation on the district's draft capital facilities plan for 2026-2031. The capital facilities plan outlined projected student enrollment growth, facility needs including new and replacement schools, and associated financing through impact fees and bonds. The board discussed the timeline for plan adoption and highlighted significant increases in impact fees, as well as upcoming construction projects such as the new Jackson Elementary and cafeteria modernization at Everett High School. Financial reports noted increased expenditures driven by subscription-based IT agreements and a substantial unexpected 24% insurance cost increase for the next fiscal year, impacting budget planning. The board also approved a new student representative and heard public comments on school zone crosswalk safety. No contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but the capital facilities plan and budget discussions indicate upcoming procurement and construction activities.
