QVSD Board Meeting 10/28/2025

The Quillayute Valley School District Board meeting on October 28, 2025, focused extensively on facilities maintenance updates and major capital improvement projects. The maintenance report detailed extensive summer work including painting, pressure washing, faucet replacements to address lead concerns, and repairs to the district's generator and electrical systems following a power outage. The board discussed upcoming repairs and replacements, such as variable frequency drives in the biomass plant, and upgrades to lighting and security systems. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the Forks Middle School replacement project, including updates from the advisory committee on project values, challenges, and scheduling. The project aims for a bond vote in November 2026, with design starting in early 2027 and construction completing by fall 2029. The board also reviewed the Forks High School Athletic Fields project, which includes new turf fields and restroom facilities, planned for completion by fall 2027 using a traditional design-bid-build method. Funding discussions highlighted eligibility for approximately $20 million in state School Construction Assistance Program (SCAP) funds. The board approved the 2025-26 handbooks for the Inside School of Washington at all levels. No motions related to immediate spending were recorded, but the meeting outlined significant upcoming procurement and construction activities tied to bond funding and state grants.
