# Regular Board Meeting October 1, 2026 Meeting Recording

The Bellevue School District regular board meeting on October 1, 2026, included a report on career and technical education (CTE) and approval of the district’s four-year CTE plan. The plan covers program development, access, educator qualifications and safety training, and is required for the district to pursue additional Perkins funding. Board members discussed CTE funding, student participation, industry partnerships, and program evaluation; staff said more details would be provided in a Friday memo. Staff also announced that a barbering program is planned for next year through the Lake Washington skill center. The board approved the four-year plan; no contract awards, vendor selections, or specific purchasing approvals were identified.

Other discussion included enrollment and class-size updates, public comments about school staffing and facilities, academic-coach placement criteria, and a reported reduction in robotics competition funding from the OSPI budget. The CTE presentation described financial-literacy implementation using resources recommended by a district stakeholder team, but no purchase or spending approval was reported. No specific dollar amounts or contract numbers were cited.
