The Washington Unified School District board approved a slate of action items during its Sept. 25 meeting. Most measures were routine approvals or reports required by state law; all passed by roll-call vote.

Key approvals and outcomes

• Unaudited actuals for fiscal year 2024–25: The board approved the district’s unaudited actuals, which showed a better-than-anticipated ending general-fund balance compared with June projections. Staff reported an ending fund balance of $22,016,681 and recommended one-time commitments totaling $5.7 million for priorities that include academic materials, deferred maintenance, OPEB (other post-employment benefits), safety, transportation and technology refresh. The board approved the report by roll call.

• Resolution—GANN limit (Res. 2526-34): The board adopted a required annual resolution setting the district’s appropriations limit under the GANN (appropriations) rules for 2024–25 and 2025–26.

• Out-of-state conference: Board approved one school social worker to attend the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth conference in Dallas, Nov. 1–4, 2025; district cost estimated to be minimal because partner organizations will cover registration and lodging.

• River City High School overnight field trip: Approved senior grad-night trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain, May 29–30, 2026, with transportation costs estimated at $21,892.56; student tickets and fundraising to offset costs.

• Williams Act sufficiency of instructional materials (Res. 2526-33): The board adopted the Williams sufficiency certification after administrators reported Williams visits were completed at seven schools and that instructional materials are sufficient in core subjects.

• Student discipline case: Following a closed-session review under Government Code procedures, the board approved the recommended disciplinary action in student-discipline case 2024-07.

• Educator Effectiveness Block Grant revision: The board approved a revised plan that reallocated some duties after a restorative-practices position became vacant; the SEL coordinator will assume related duties and staff added allowable professional-learning activities in standards-aligned literacy instruction and inclusive practices.

• Prop 28 arts and music reports: The board approved the Washington Middle College and districtwide arts-and-music reports documenting Prop 28 allocations and how funds were used during 2024–25 (staff reported 3.9 teacher FTEs paid with Prop 28 and service to about 2,500 student contacts across 11 sites, per the district report).

Votes and process notes: All listed action items were approved by roll-call votes recorded in the meeting minutes. Several items required no district funding; others had identified fiscal impacts described in staff reports.

Ending: Staff will file required state reports for Williams and Prop 28, return to the board with the Comprehensive School Safety Plans for formal approval in October, and present a December update on the current-year financials.
