November 12, 2025 at 6:30 PM - Lincoln County School District Business Meeting of the Board

Description:  Oregon law prohibits discrimination in all public elementary and secondary schools that receive state funding, including discrimination based on perceived race, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or national origin. All comments during our public board meetings will follow these policies. I would like to highlight two of these policies: AC, Non-Discrimination, and ACB, Every Student Belongs, in regards to appropriate public comments.

Description:  Board meetings are meetings of the Board that are held in public—they are not public meetings in the sense of being open forums. The Board has official business to conduct, and any disruptions may require us to adjust the setting in which we meet.
Please note that public comment will be conducted in accordance with Board Policy BDDH - Public Comment at Board Meetings. Additionally, Oregon law prohibits discrimination in all public elementary and secondary schools, and this Board is fully committed to upholding that law.
During the public comment periods—the first reserved for comments on topics listed on the Board’s agenda, and the second for general comments on topics not included on the agenda—audience members who have submitted a public comment card to the Board Secretary will have the opportunity to speak. While the Board does not engage in discussion during public comment, it may ask clarifying questions when appropriate.
The Board Chair reserves the right to set the speaking time as outlined in policy BDDH. For this meeting, individuals will have up to three minutes to speak. If a group is commenting on the same topic, a designated representative will need to be selected and they may speak for up to five minutes.
As a reminder, comments regarding individual district staff members will not be heard during public comment. In those cases, the Board Chair will direct speakers to follow the procedures outlined in Board Policy KL - Public Complaints to submit a formal complaint.
 

Description:  Lincoln County School District was selected as the recipient of the NGSS Team Award. We will have some teachers and partners joining us. Yay! See attached letter

Description:  (Consent Calendar agenda items are designated by the Board to be adopted in a single motion unless an individual Board member or the Superintendent requests an item be removed for consideration.  Action on matters of a routine matter is addressed in one motion to conserve time for other deliberation by the Board.)                   
 

Description:  Regular personnel action requiring Board approval.

Description:  (Decision Items are those that have been presented to the Board for discussion and questions at a prior meeting.  Some circumstances may dictate a Decision Item without prior discussion.)
 

Description:  The battery backup systems will provide eight+ hours of power for critical building and safety infrastructure, including security cameras, phone systems, Blue Boxes, and other essential services.

Description:  2025 - 2026 Site Council Rosters

Description:  (Discussion Items are presented for the Board’s consideration, discussion and questions.  Discussion Items will be considered for Decision at a subsequent meeting.  Information items are for information only.)
 

Description:  Please find attached our updated (draft) Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (NHMP), pending School Board
adoption. It is an appendix in the Lincoln County Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJ-
NHMP). FEMA requires that it is updated every five years. Our current plan expires December 2025.
A local NHMP identifies and examines the hazards, vulnerabilities, and risks facing a city, county, or special
district, such as LCSD. It establishes a mitigation strategy to reduce impacts of natural disasters on people,
property, and the environment. Having a current and customized NHMP also enables LCSD to be eligible to
apply for certain federal grants and provides justification for those and other grant applications.
LCSD has identified 10 Mitigation Actions. Pages 44-63 include detailed descriptions and progress we've made
on each since our last plan update. Mitigation Actions include:
1)
2) Seismic Resilience,
3) North Lincoln City School,
4) Response and Supply Planning,
5) CERT (Community Emergency Response Team),
6) Mitigation Resources & Equipment*,
7) Disaster Coordination Capacity,
8) Wildfire Safety & Resilience,
9) Windstorm Mitigation,
10) Backup Power, and
11) Safe Rooms**.
*Action #5 was expanded to include additional categories of equipment, so we moved generators out of #5
and established a dedicated Action Item #9 just for Backup Power.
**Action #10 (Safe Rooms) is new in this plan.
FEMA has reviewed our updated (draft) plan and given us "Approval Pending Adoption" status.  Attached is a
draft resolution for the Board to consider for adoption. 
Prepared by Sue Graves on 11/4/25.
