North Mason School Board May 19, 2026

The North Mason School Board meeting held on May 19, 2026, primarily focused on student discipline data, school presentations, and budget planning. The board reviewed suspension and office discipline referral (ODR) rates across various schools, highlighting efforts to reduce disciplinary incidents and improve student engagement. They discussed challenges such as attendance-related behaviors and disproportionality in suspensions among certain student groups. The board approved several resolutions, including the discontinuation of the Home Link and JAT night school programs due to budget constraints, and delegated authority to the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA). A key budget-related action was the approval of a policy to adjust the district's fund balance target from 8-10% to 4-6% through 2027, reflecting ongoing financial challenges. Additionally, the board addressed the need for updated facilities and technology plans, with an emphasis on leveraging state funding. No new contracts or procurement awards were discussed during this meeting.
