The Puyallup School District Board of Directors is pleased to announce a new dedicated email address for community members to share their thoughts and insights with the School Board as a whole. You can reach the board directly by sending your comments to schoolboard@puyallupsd.org. This additional means of communication is designed to facilitate engagement and ensure your voice continues to be heard as we work together for the benefit of our students and community.

 

Board Meeting and Session Info

It is possible a quorum of the board (three or more school board directors) may be in attendance at any of the bond informational events but members of the board will not be discussing or deliberating district business and no action will be taken. These events are opportunities for community members and the public to learn more about the proposed bond on the February 11, 2025 ballot. Remember to vote!
