June 8, 2026

The Longview Public Schools Board held a meeting on June 8, 2026, which included several key agenda items related to district governance and administration. The board approved the new six-year strategic plan for 2026-2032, developed with extensive community input, focusing on student-centered goals and outcomes. A significant procurement-related action was the board's unanimous vote to revoke paid administrative leave status for Superintendent Dr. Karen Clowner, placing her on unpaid leave due to legal restrictions preventing her from performing her duties. The board also discussed ongoing budget development, with a detailed revenue and expenditure report scheduled for the June 22 meeting. Additionally, the board approved revisions to Policy 21108 concerning the Learning Assistance Program, removing outdated COVID-19 language. Public comments raised concerns about transparency, public records compliance, and district accountability, but no new procurement contracts or vendor selections were reported during this meeting.
