Board Meeting April 27, 2026

The Clover Park School District Board of Directors held a regular meeting on April 27, 2026, covering several key topics including curriculum adoption, cell phone policy enforcement, capital projects, and budget updates. A significant procurement-related discussion involved the upcoming adoption of a new secondary English Language Arts curriculum, recommending My Perspectives by Savvas Learning Company for grades 6-11 core and honors ELA, along with AP and IB materials from McGraw Hill, Cengage, and Oxford University Press. The board was informed that formal approval would be sought in the May 11 meeting. Capital projects updates included the Clover Park High School theater lighting replacement, currently out for bid with results expected by mid-May, and Park Lodge stucco repairs completed under budget. Additionally, the board discussed the renewal of the Sodexo contract for food service management, with a fourth-year renewal pending legal review and OSPI approval, noting that no new bidding is required for this extension. Budget discussions highlighted enrollment trends, projected staffing reductions totaling nearly $12.6 million to maintain a 6% fund balance, and the impact of state funding challenges. The board emphasized the importance of community engagement and consistent policy implementation moving forward.
