Board Meeting / Workshop August 24th 2026

The Clover Park School District Board of Directors held a regular meeting workshop on August 24, 2026, focusing primarily on updates related to capital projects and governance activities. Key procurement-related discussions included an update on the franchise agreement with the City of Lakewood concerning the district's fiber network, highlighting ongoing negotiations about indemnification language and liability. Additionally, the board reviewed the City of Lakewood's request for a permanent right-of-way easement along Custer Road at Dower Elementary School, involving a property sale valued over $50,000 and requiring the district to declare the property surplus and conduct public hearings before finalizing the transaction. The board also discussed coordination challenges with the city and potential legal fees associated with the easement process. Other agenda items included planning for the board's annual self-assessment with consideration of facilitator costs, a book study on difficult conversations, review of standard operating procedures, and preparation for the upcoming WASDA conference and legislative assembly. No contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting, but the easement and franchise agreement discussions indicate forthcoming procurement and legal activities.
