Yakima School District Board Meeting August 31st, 2026

The Yakima School District Board held a meeting on August 31, 2026, primarily focused on administrative updates, introductions of new school leadership, and community engagement activities. A key procurement-related action was the board's approval of a collective bargaining agreement with the Yakima Education Office Professionals, which included a 3.1% salary increase for the first year and terms for the second year to be determined. The agreement was ratified following extensive negotiations involving multiple district and association representatives. Additionally, the board discussed upcoming policy governance items related to board-superintendent communication protocols, with a survey to be distributed prior to final approval at the next meeting. No other contract awards, RFPs, or capital projects were addressed during this session.
