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.

(During this time the audience will have the opportunity to speak to the Board. Anyone wishing to address the Board is asked to complete a "Board Communication Request" form, available from the board secretary. The chairman reserves the right to limit the time allotted to each presenter. It is requested that those addressing the board state their name for the record.)

(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.)                   
 

Regular personnel action requiring Board approval.

(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.)
 

Intent to award siding and window installation to Coastal Contracting 

ODE requires school districts to receive ODE and board pre-approval before beginning any capital projects equal to or exceeding $25,000 that will be paid from ESSER COVID Relief funds.

The District has 3 such projects requiring approval:

1.  ADA Playground at the Olalla Center, estimated cost of $31,000 from the Long Term Care and Treatment ESSER award. This project has been approved by ODE.

2. ADA Playground at Yaquina View Elementary, estimated cost of $150,000 from the Jump Start Kindergarten ESSER Funds. This project is pending ODE approval.

3. ADA Playground at Taft Elementary, estimated cost of $252,000 from the ESSER III ARP funds. This project is pending ODE approval.

District staff will install all the equipment.

Staff is requesting board approval at the May meeting due to the anticipated long wait times (8-12 weeks) for the structures to be built and delivered. All ESSER funded items must be received no later than September 30, 2024.



 

(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.)
 

Due to program changes at schools, a layoff of personnel may be necessary. The school board will declare the need for a layoff of personnel for next school year, directing staff to do all possible to minimize the effects to our students and staff. When there is such a need, this declaration is specified in the agreement with LCEA (teachers' union) and begins other timelines/processes for both employee associations.

This is a one yearl renewal of the custodial services contract with Sodexo.

Per the contract, the rate increase used is the US BOLI CPI US Cities Average for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers Index (CPI-W) from November 2022 to November 2023, which was 2.98%.

1.0 FTE has been added for the Newport schools.
