School Board

The South Whidbey School District Board usually meets twice monthly unless otherwise stated. All meetings are held in the Community Board Room on the South Whidbey Elementary School Campus, 5380 Maxwelton Road, Langley, WA 98260, unless otherwise stated. The monthly Board Workshop is held on the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. The Workshop is generally used for more detailed discussion of issues, board business, building reports, staff presentations, etc. requiring more time than would be possible at the Business Meeting. Action is taken at the Board Business Meeting and may be taken at a Special Business Meeting on a Workshop date. The Regular Board Business Meeting is held on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. These meetings are used for board communications, business, and administration.

Public participation is an integral part of successful schools. Meeting agendas are prepared by the board chair and superintendent and are available on our web site prior to meetings. The community is encouraged to attend. Board policies, meeting agendas and minutes are available on Board Docs linked here. There you can also find the links to the meeting videos available to watch on YouTube (linked here).

Our specific goals for 2024-2025, adopted by the Board on July 24, 2024 are:

Social-Emotional Learning
Objective 1: We will deepen our school culture of care and belonging with particular attention to systems, practices, and staff intra- and interpersonal capacities.

Academic Growth
Objective 2: We will continue to use best practices that nurture and create innovative learning environments supportive of every student’s resilience and success in the future they choose.

Logistics
Objective 3: Through mission-aligned use and stewardship of our district assets (land, facilities, people, money, institutional knowledge, and time), we will create the conditions for a new superintendent’s success.
