Board Meeting Workshop June 22nd

The Clover Park School District Board of Directors held a regular meeting workshop on June 22, 2026, focusing on a variety of district updates including student services, equity, community engagement, academic improvement, and fiscal responsibilities. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on two agreements with the City of Lakewood: a fiber optic franchise agreement allowing the district to operate its own fiber network, and a permanent right-of-way easement request related to a city roadway improvement project impacting district property at Dower Elementary. The board was informed that both agreements would require formal approval, likely in August, and discussed potential impacts such as tree removal and future negotiations. Additionally, the board received a detailed budget update for the 2026-27 school year, highlighting enrollment trends, revenue sources, expenditure reductions, and fund balance projections. The board discussed financial solvency challenges and the need for ongoing expenditure management. No votes were taken during the workshop, but consensus was reached to engage in conversations with the City of Lakewood regarding potential use of district property for a park. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn following an executive session on legal matters.
