QVSD Board Meeting 07/28/2026

The Quillayute Valley School District Board meeting on July 28, 2026, focused heavily on procurement and capital improvement projects, particularly the awarding of a $4.35 million contract to Inner West Construction (ICI) for the Spartan Field site improvement project. The project includes dirt work, sidewalks, drainage, dugouts, and infrastructure for future lighting, with additional turf installation costs estimated between $600,000 and $1 million to be funded through timber dollars and grants. The board also discussed the potential cost savings by shifting the turf pad installation scope to the turf contractor. Other procurement-related actions included approval of various handbooks for the 2026-27 school year, adoption of a partnership with Central Washington University for dual credit courses, and a resolution to place a $34 million bond for Forks Middle School replacement on the November ballot. The meeting included updates on field maintenance and GMAX safety testing, confirming the existing football field's good condition and expected lifespan extension. Public comments addressed school safety and accountability issues, but no direct procurement actions arose from those discussions.
