Board Chair
Description:
The Lane ESD
Board of Directors has agreed to implement a consent agenda. All items in the consent agenda are adopted
by a single motion unless a member of the Board or the Superintendent requests
that such item be removed from the consent agenda and acted upon separately.
Generally, consent agenda items are matters which members of the Board agree are routine in nature and should be acted upon in one motion to conserve time and to enable the Board to focus on the other matters on the agenda. Back-up materials for consent agenda items are included in the agenda packet as needed. Minutes of this meeting will reflect action on each item. If any board member wishes to withdraw any consent group item, it will be moved to the appropriate section of the agenda. BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of Lane ESD adopts the consent group as submitted and listed below. 1. Lane ESD Board Meeting Minutes of March 3, 2020 2.

5.C. Lane Community College Bond Measure
Presenter:
Board Chair
Description:
Lane ESD may not use funds, facilities or equipment to influence a political campaign, nor to advocate "yes" or "no" votes on elections or political campaigns.
The Board may vote to take positions on political issues and members may advocate for those positions in their capacity as Board members, provided they do not use ESD funds, facilities or equipment in that advocacy.
On the May 19, 2020 ballot, the Lane Community College Board will
ask voters in its service area to consider a bond. If approved, the
$121.5 million measure would fund safety and security updates, seismic
retrofitting, expand Health Professions and Workforce Training
Programs, and modernize classroom technology throughout the district.
In an effort to identify structural and programmatic needs and
address deferred maintenance projects, the college recently completed a
facilities master plan. This multi-year effort involved the LCC Board,
campus community, and members from local businesses to help determine
how to address safety and security on campus as well as update learning
spaces. To help offset the cost of items identified in the plan,
Lane’s Board decided to refer the bond measure to voters. If approved,
bond dollars would be used to address priorities within the master plan
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of Lane ESD take action to endorse the Lane Community College bond measure. |

The bill provides exemptions for a reasonable accommodation that requires significant difficulty or expense that imposes an undue hardship on ESD operations.

5.E.1.i. JHFE - Reporting of Suspected Abuse of a Child
Description:
Senate Bill 155 (2019) amended statute on reporting suspected sexual conduct and suspected child abuse. SB 155 assigned investigative responsibilities to ODE for non-licensed employees for reports of suspected sexual conduct and investigative responsibilities to TSPC for employees licensed through TSPC. The SB redefines sexual conduct, adds a definition for student in relation to sexual conduct, amends reporting requirements, makes volunteers subject to law, and maintains applicability to contractors and agents. The SB requires ESDs to designate a licensed administrator and alternate licensed administrator for each school building assigned to receive reports of suspected abuse or suspected sexual conduct, their contact information, and other required information found in the amended policies and administrative regulations. In cases of suspected abuse, the ESD must also post contact information for the local Department of Human Services office. Nothing in the bill prevents an ESD from conducting their own investigation and acting on information gained from the investigation prior to completion of an investigation and determination from another agency.
