Northshore School District School Board Meeting, May 26, 2026

The Northshore School District School Board held a working session on May 26, 2026, which included extensive public comments primarily focused on proposed changes to the highly capable (HighCap) program and the school resource officer (SRO) program at Both High School. Numerous students and community members expressed concerns about the integration of HighCap classes, advocating for the retention of self-contained advanced classes in subjects like science and social studies. The board also discussed and approved several procurement-related items, including the acceptance of a project over $1 million for track and field improvements at Sky View Middle School funded by a 202 bond, and authorized the use of the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GCCM) procurement method for phase two of the Inglemore High School replacement project. Additionally, the board approved the adoption of the HMH Version 3 Plus structured literacy curriculum for K-5 ELA and authorized a contract with Sunburst through the Sourcewell Cooperative Contract for managed staffing services, particularly for special education. Votes were taken to approve these contracts and budget allocations. The meeting also included updates on legislative advocacy and school funding priorities, but no new policy changes affecting procurement were reported.
