The Quillayute Valley School District Board meeting on March 11, 2024, focused primarily on educational initiatives and student support programs, including efforts to improve attendance, keep students on track for graduation, and enhance academic performance through incentives and personalized outreach. Procurement-related discussions included approval of new all-wheel-drive vehicles for coaches to improve transportation flexibility and safety, and a new partnership with a mobile vision clinic to provide free vision screenings for students. The board also addressed compliance with Washington administrative codes requiring 15% apprenticeship workforce participation on projects over $1 million, specifically related to stadium stands construction, and approved sending a compliance letter to the state.
