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.)

Karin Teisl, Toledo Elementary
Karin is one of the best music teachers I've had the pleasure of working with. She holds the students to a level of rigor in her class that is often unseen. As a result, her students always make an incredible amount of growth each year, and considering that I can hear the students practice from my classroom, I can vouch for their growth and success. Karin has a heart that desires to inspire her students whether through music, or just going out of her way to support her teaching staff to help our students succeed. She is an invaluable part of our teaching staff and a much appreciated representative for our local union.
JoBeth Rube, Taft 7-12
JoBeth teaches 7th grade ELA, advanced ELA and MS Success at Taft 7-12. She is so dedicated to student success! JoBeth gets to know ALL of her students deeply and is able to bring out the best in them. Currently the students are reading, "The Outsiders," and JoBeth set up a "reader's theater" this week, which had our students really excited to read aloud (especially some of our English Language Learners).
Trevor Tangen, Toledo Jr/Sr
As the Toledo TOSA, Trevor has been an amazing influence this year. Through their work with him, educators have been able to problem solve behavioral and academic challenges for students as well as improve their own teaching craft. Our new teachers have had access to Trevor's wealth of knowledge and expertise, allowing them to grow and improve much faster than they would have without his support. Trevor's hard work and dedication are truly awe inspiring and I've become a better teacher thanks to his presence and commitment to Toledo.
Samantha Murphy, Newport High School
Samantha is a beloved Language Arts and Global Studies teacher who always goes the extra mile for her students. From a Huck Finn raft race at the reservoir in the fall to the IB English field trip and senior events in the spring, she is always seen spending her time providing enriching activities both inside and outside the school setting. She also takes time to help arrange our work retreat in the summer, where NHS staff volunteer their time to collaborate on projects and curriculum for next year.
