November 28, 2022 at 6:30 PM - Business Meeting

Description:  Executive Session under ORS 192.660(2)(d) labor

Description:  Truth and acknowledgment are critical to building mutual respect and connection across differences. Please take a moment to consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us together here today. The Parkrose Board of Education begins this effort by acknowledging that we are gathering on the ancestral and unceded lands of the Chinook, Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River in the Portland area. We pay respect to their elders past and present. We acknowledge them as the past, current and future caretakers of this land.

Description: 
The Regional Board Equity Team continues to be on hiatus. The original grant that supported this work has ended, and MESD is evaluating how to refocus and fund ongoing work in the future.

The Legislative Policy Committee met on Thursday, November 10th during the OSBA Fall Convention. We shared a fun icebreaker ("what was your hardest job?") and enjoyed being together. Each region reported takeaways from their legislative roadshow gatherings. Funding for current service level is a deep concern across the state. Workforce (turnover and recruitment), mental health, technology support and cybersecurity, and board training were other shared concerns. We briefly discussed the upcoming legislative session. I brought handouts from that meeting to share with the board (distributed at our last working session).
