Edmonds School Board was scheduled to hear first reading of new recess, PE, and wellness policies
In materials published ahead of the Oct. 28, 2025 meeting, the Edmonds School District board was scheduled to hold first readings of new policies on recess, physical education, and student wellness 1.
What the records say
In materials published ahead of the Oct. 28, 2025 meeting, the Edmonds School District Board of Directors was scheduled to hold a first reading of a new policy, Board Policy 6701 on Recess and Physical Education 1. The agenda listed the item as “First Reading (no action),” meaning the board would review the proposed policy but not vote on it that night 1. The item was listed with an attachment 1.
- The board was scheduled to hold a first reading, with no action, of new Board Policy 6701 on Recess and Physical Education, with an attachment.
- The board was scheduled to hold a first reading, with no action, of new Board Policy 6702 on Wellness, with an attachment.
- First readings were listed for review, not a vote, at the Oct. 28 meeting.
Why it matters
The board was also scheduled to hold a first reading, with no action, of a second new policy, Board Policy 6702 on Wellness, with an attachment 1. If adopted at a future vote, these policies would set district-level rules for recess, physical education, and wellness that could affect daily schedules and practices at schools serving Brier households; the available records do not show whether any adoption has occurred.
What changed / what's next
- No adoption was scheduled; the recess/PE and wellness policies were set only for first reading with no action on Oct. 28, 2025 1. Whether the board has since acted on them is not established by the available records.
- The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome. The attached policy texts were not included in the supplied packet, so the specific requirements of Policies 6701 and 6702 are unknown; a future board vote would be needed for adoption 1.
