At its April 8 meeting, the Rainier School District 13 board approved a set of routine but consequential items: student travel for the History Club, an on-campus YMCA summer-camp agreement, calendar adjustments for May budget hearings and meetings, an 11-hour instructional-time waiver for missed storm days, and the declaration of an at-large board vacancy.
History Club: The board granted permission for the History Club to travel to Washington, D.C., for the National History Bowl April 25–29 after the students explained their qualification and fundraising plan; the board approved the travel request by voice vote with no opposition.
YMCA agreement: Directors approved a third-year agreement with YMCA of Southwest Washington to provide eight weeks of on-campus summer camp (Monday–Thursday) from June 17 to Aug. 15; administrators said there is no cost to the district and families may register through the YMCA with discounts available for district students.
Calendar and budget meetings: Because of a superintendent-search interview schedule, the board moved the regular May meeting and the second budget hearing to May 28 (budget hearing at 5:00 p.m., regular board meeting at 6:30 p.m.) and approved the revised meeting calendar.
Instructional-time waiver: Under a temporary rule allowing districts to count up to 14 hours for emergency closures, the board approved an 11-hour waiver for the 2023–24 school year to avoid extending the school year beyond June 18.
Board vacancy and resignations: The board accepted resignations included in the consent agenda (Christina Hendricks and David Weaver) and announced an at-large board vacancy to be advertised April 9–29; applications are due to board secretary Shelana Clark by 4:00 p.m. on April 29, with the appointed term running May 28, 2024–June 30, 2025.
All the listed motions were carried with verbal unanimous consent as recorded in the meeting (no members voted in opposition).
