WARDEN The Warden School Board unanimously approved a resolution Thursday stating the district’s opposition to two legislative bills.
The bills in question are House Bill 2331, modifying requirements for public school instructional and supplemental instructional materials and Senate Bill 5462, promoting inclusive learning standards and instructional materials in public schools.
Board member Bryce Cox spoke about the bills.
“I've been a little bit involved in this. It started as we looked at these bills coming through. I'm seeing this across the state, not just in Grant County, but losing local control is a big deal,” Cox said. “It's why we're elected; we feel that we do know the individuals in this community. We know what they want, and things like that. To have someone else dictate that from the outside is not what we want. So that's where this is all coming from.”
WARDEN The Warden School District was recently awarded two grants totaling about $47,000 through the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, both as part of OSPI’s digital equity and inclusion initiatives.
WARDEN During Thursday’s regular Warden School Board meeting, Warden Superintendent Scott West and members of the board discussed Warden’s increasing enrollment numbers and its impact on the district’s future, as well as the district’s levy and the board’s vacant position.
