Description: 

Members of the board serve on many district and community committees. In order to ensure a more even distribution of committee responsibilities, board members are assigned to specific committees. Committee assignments are typically discussed at the August board planning retreat. Board members will discuss, update, and finalize board committee assignments. 

The board has a goal to collaborate with students, families and the community in order to inform the board decision-making process. In an effort to allow board members to be better engaged with all segments of the district, board members will be assigned to specific schools in the district. Board members will be able to build connections with these schools through school activities and visits, and the school engagement assignments will be changed each year allowing board members to be assigned to different schools to continue this engagement and collaboration. The board will review their new school engagement assignment for the 2025-26 school year. 

Description:  The administration will provide an overview of the District's Strategic Goals and Plan on a Page.

Description:  The board will take a brief recess from the meeting. 

Description: 

ORS 327.016 requires the publication of an annual Oregon English Language Learner (ELL) Report. This report includes a review of financial information for ELL programs, the objectives and needs of students eligible for and enrolled in an ELL program, and information on the demographics of students in ELL programs in each school district across the state.  

The Oregon English Language Learner (ELL) Report makes data on English language learners accessible to researchers, media, students, and parents. This year, the report is also available in Spanish. As required by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE), a link to this report can be found on the district website. Pursuant to ORS 327.016, an overview of this ELL Report is to be presented to each districts' school board no later than September 1, 2025.

In addition to the ELL Report, the administration will share a data review of DIBELS, iReady, and STAR focusing on areas of growth and how they are working to address challenges. They will also review attendance data for last year compared to previous years, strategies they are currently using to increase attendance, and next steps for continued improvement.

Description:  The board will discuss what topics may need more discussion at future board meetings, and what needs to be drafted to come back to the board for review. 

Description: 

The board will review announcements. A Zoom link for virtual meeting attendance will be provided for upcoming meetings.
