# Oct. 27, 2026 | RSD Board Meeting

The Richland School District Board meeting (RSDWashington), dated Oct. 27, 2026, approved Resolution 107 to submit a general obligation bond proposition of up to $94,072,883 to voters at the Feb. 9, 2027 special election. The proposed bond package addresses district capital needs, including Chief Joseph Middle School, modular buildings at River’s Edge High School, an early learning center, and Richland High School parking. The district reported that more than $21 million in state funding for Chief Joseph helped reduce the proposal from roughly $103 million to about $94 million; the estimated tax impact was under $5 per month for a $500,000 home. The board also discussed a voluntary rollback of the safety and security levy for tax years 2028 and 2029, but sought legal advice on how to formalize that commitment. The bond resolution passed unanimously; no vendor selections, contract awards, or purchasing approvals were identified.

The board also reviewed academic performance, graduation rates, and the district’s financial dashboard, including capital-project and bond-payment information. It approved a first reading of a new financial aid advising day policy. Industry discussions centered on education facilities and capital improvements, with state funding contributing to the proposed bond package.
