COUPEVILLE: School board votes to approve plan for cuts

David Svien reports from the Coupeville School Board meeting of Thu., Apr. 24, 2025, for the Whidbey News-Times. Read the whole story.
At a Thursday night meeting, Coupeville School Board members unanimously approved Superintendent Shannon Leatherwood’s proposed “modified education plan for reducing programs and staff.”
The resolution states that the district’s fund balance will continued to be below the 6% of the budget year’s expenditures outlined in district policy.
“At the present time, the level of funding the district will receive from certain federal, state and local funding sources is somewhat uncertain,” the resolution states,” but will clearly be insufficient to allow the district to maintain its current educational program and services.”
