Regular Governing Board Meeting - Thursday, March 26, 2026, at 6:15 p.m.

The Washington Elementary School District held its regular governing board meeting on March 26, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of the district's financial audit for fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, presented by external auditors from Heinfeld Meech. The audit reported a clean opinion with some material weaknesses related to employee benefit trust plans, which management is addressing. The board also approved an estimated $19.9 million funding allocation for employee health benefits, absorbing a 9.7% increase in monthly premiums to minimize financial impact on employees. Additionally, the board approved a new evaluation tool for instructional coaches to better align with their unique roles. The meeting included updates on the superintendent search process and plans for community engagement with finalists. No new contracts or RFPs were directly discussed, but the financial audit and benefit funding decisions reflect ongoing fiscal oversight and budget management.
