QVSD Board Meeting 10/14/2025

The Quillayute Valley School District Board held a meeting on October 14, 2025, where they discussed various operational and educational topics. Key procurement-related discussions included the transportation department's fleet maintenance and upcoming bus purchases, notably a new special needs bus costing $184,000 with a Cummins ISB engine. The board also addressed the need to replace an aging hydraulic lift for bus maintenance, estimated at around $150,000, and ongoing plans for a bus washer. Additionally, the board reviewed a policy update regarding capitalization thresholds for leases and subscription-based IT arrangements, requiring contracts over $10,000 and longer than one year to be documented accordingly. They approved a resolution to adjust the Educational Programs and Operations Levy collection to $1.3 million, down from the initially planned $1.5 million, to maintain a tax rate of $1.50 per thousand, thereby reducing the tax burden on households. The board also approved the surplus of outdated math books and manuals. Other discussions focused on educational program improvements, athletics updates, and technology communication tools, but no further procurement actions were noted.
