During its recent meeting, the Edmonds School Board discussed reverting to its 2020 sexual harassment policy due to the U. S. Department of Education's enforcement of Title IX protections based on biological sex. The board's decision is a direct response to a ruling from the U. S.

District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, which vacated the 2024 Title IX rules established under President Biden. This legal change raises concerns about potential litigation for the district, prompting the board to act swiftly. In addition to policy discussions, the board celebrated the accomplishments of Mountlake Terrace High School's journalism students, who earned awards at a national conference in Philadelphia. Furthermore, the board unanimously approved an amendment to its lease with Housing Hope, addressing unexpected delays in a project aimed at creating affordable housing units for families experiencing homelessness. The construction timeline has been pushed back, with an expected start in September 2025 and completion anticipated before December 2026.

The board's commitment to housing initiatives reflects its dedication to supporting families within the district. Overall, these developments highlight the intersection of federal policy changes and local educational governance.
