In a recent government meeting, the board made significant strides in staffing and governance, approving two new hires and discussing a nomination for the Oregon School Board Association (OSBA) Board of Directors.

Superintendent Cordon presented the agenda, which included amendments to add two new hires: Jeff Eichenbusch as the district safety coordinator and Kayla Luther as an LRC teacher at Green Elementary. The board unanimously approved these recommendations, with members expressing enthusiasm for Eichenbusch's impressive qualifications and background in criminal justice.

The meeting also addressed the nomination of Director Hamerson for a two-year term on the OSBA Board of Directors, representing the Douglas and South Coast region. The board moved to nominate Hamerson, with members acknowledging the importance of this position and the need for regional representation. The nomination will be submitted for a vote by the entire region, marking a step forward in local governance.

Additionally, Committee Chairman Rod Cotton provided insights from a recent building committee meeting, indicating ongoing efforts to enhance district facilities and operations. The discussions reflect the board's commitment to improving educational environments and ensuring student safety.
