Board Meeting 2/12/2026

The Port Angeles School District Board meeting on February 12, 2026, focused primarily on educational achievements, student growth, and facilities management. Key procurement-related discussions included a detailed report from the Director of Facilities on custodial, maintenance, and capital improvement projects. The district currently employs 25 custodians and a maintenance team of five skilled tradesmen, with ongoing efforts to fill vacancies. Recent capital projects highlighted included installation of high-filtration HVAC filters, roof repairs at the wood shop, access control upgrades at Stevens Middle School, and LED lighting installations at Roosevelt and Dry Creek Elementary. The board reviewed building condition assessments for Dry Creek and Jefferson Elementary schools, noting stable conditions but upcoming needs for roof and HVAC system replacements. Two resolutions were approved authorizing square footage changes for Franklin and the high school construction projects, reflecting ongoing capital improvements. The meeting also included discussions on inventory management improvements and the importance of in-house maintenance capabilities to reduce reliance on external contractors. No specific contract awards or vendor names were mentioned, but the emphasis on capital projects and maintenance budgeting indicates active procurement and facilities management efforts.
