School Board Meeting - June 9, 2026

The Evergreen Public Schools Board held a meeting on June 9, 2026, which included recognition of student achievements in the district art show and updates on school improvement plans and academic progress. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the district receiving a $35,000 violence reduction and gang prevention grant, which was used to enhance safety measures such as purchasing dash cameras for outreach vehicles and creating a dedicated youth outreach space in collaboration with the Boys and Girls Club. The board also reviewed continuous improvement efforts across elementary, middle, and high schools, highlighting gains in reading achievement, professional learning communities, and support for multilingual learners, while noting attendance as a persistent challenge. Public comments addressed concerns about supplemental contract allegations involving district leadership and a decision to consolidate orchestra program leadership, urging the board to reconsider staffing to avoid negatively impacting students. The meeting concluded with an executive session to review the performance of a public employee.
