Board Meeting 3/26/2026

The Port Angeles School District Board meeting on March 26, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions primarily focused on capital improvement projects. The board received detailed updates on the Franklin Middle School construction project, including progress on design phases, site planning, and construction activities. TCF Architecture presented the schematic design phase, adjacency diagrams, and program documents for the new 60,000 square foot two-story building, highlighting efforts to manage site constraints and community concerns such as traffic flow and parking. The board also discussed the selection of Abbott as the General Contractor Construction Manager (GCCM) for Franklin, approving the pre-construction contract to enable early contractor involvement for cost control and scheduling efficiency. Additionally, the board approved the educational specifications (EDS specs) for the project, which guide the design to meet state funding requirements. Financial reports indicated ongoing spending on bond-funded capital projects, including Franklin and the high school, with attention to budget management and escalation costs. Other agenda items included enrollment updates, policy approvals, and recognition of school retirees and students, but no other procurement actions were noted.
