The Lake Stevens School District Board of Directors on March 11 unanimously approved Resolution No. 4-26 accepting the Constructability Review Report and Implementation Plan for the district's new Elementary School Eight and authorized several related contracts to prepare the site for construction.
Resolution No. 4-26, moved by Director Brian Kesler and seconded by Director Mari Taylor, passed by roll call. President David Iseminger said the collaborative review and early organization help resolve potential issues before construction begins.
Board members also approved contracts for new network equipment at Elementary School Eight, an inter-local agreement with ESD 112 for building commissioning services, and a contract for special inspections and testing. The approvals are part of the district's bond-driven project steps to complete design review and ensure readiness for construction.
Directors voted to approve dark fiber lease agreements that will connect district facilities and expand bandwidth. Superintendent Dr. Mary Templeton asked the district's technology leaders to clarify the term; Executive Director of Innovation and Educational Technology Mike Weatherbie and IT Project Coordinator Selena Robinson explained the leases bring internet connectivity to schools, maintain existing infrastructure and expand service to Elementary School Eight.
All motions related to the Elementary School Eight implementation plan and supporting contracts were approved unanimously. No timelines for construction start or contractor names were specified at the meeting.
The board's actions move the bond-funded elementary project from planning toward procurement and construction readiness; staff will proceed with commissioning, inspections and technology provisioning as described during the motion.
The board adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
