Everett Public Schools Regular Board Meeting 07.01.2026

The Everett Public Schools Board of Directors held their regular meeting on July 1, 2026. The meeting included a detailed first reading of the fiscal year 2026-27 operating budget, highlighting key budget development timelines, revenue and expenditure projections, and capital projects funded by a recently approved $40 million bond. The board discussed enrollment trends, inflationary impacts on staffing and insurance costs, and the district's structural deficit with a projected fund balance decline over the next four years. Capital projects include the Madison Elementary replacement and synthetic track and field installations. The board also reviewed plans for bond refunding to potentially reduce debt service costs. Upcoming agenda items for August include multiple contract approvals and renewals for technology, educational services, and school resource officers, as well as final acceptance of mechanical upgrades at several schools and the capital facilities plan for 2026-2031.
