1) Consent agenda approved — The board approved the consent agenda as presented. The consent materials called out two donations: $3,595.10 from the Newberg Rotary Foundation for district resource rooms and $400 from the Rotary Early Birds for Joanne Austin Elementary’s resource room. The motion carried by voice vote; individual roll-call votes were not specified in the transcript.

2) Willamette Education Service District local service plan adopted — The board adopted Resolution 2025-13 (local service plan with Willamette Education Service District) as presented. The motion passed unanimously after a motion and second; the transcript did not include individual vote counts.

3) Intergovernmental agreement for two SROs with the City of Newberg approved — The board approved an IGA with the City of Newberg under which the district and city will split costs for two school resource officers (SROs); the agreement also allows the district to use the city fueling station at the city’s price. Staff estimated fuel savings and described net cost implications; the motion passed unanimously.

4) Interdistrict transfer slots for 2025–26 approved — After discussion of enrollment trends and proposed slot limits, the board moved and approved the recommended slot parameters for incoming and outgoing interdistrict transfer students for the 2025–26 school year. The board directed staff to administer the spring application window and to implement the lottery process if applications exceed available slots. The motion passed unanimously.

Leslie, district enrollment staff, presented a 10-year enrollment trend showing Newberg’s larger decline relative to surrounding districts and a snapshot of transfers during 2023–24 that included 1,311 (per-grade) departures in one summary referenced by staff; staff also reported 21 transfers into the district and 35 transfers out so far in the current year. District staff said Sherwood has been the largest destination for students leaving the district in the current year.

District staff recommended a balanced approach to slot limits that the board discussed: the recommendation included modest caps by level (examples discussed included releasing 10 high-school slots, five middle-school slots and five elementary slots, with comparable receiving caps discussed for incoming students). Staff said the proposal would be applied in a spring application window for the 2025–26 school year; if applications exceed slots, the district would run a lottery on the last application day. Staff reiterated that hardship transfers (active military family, childcare in another district, persistent documented harassment or similar factors) would still be granted outside of the lottery process.

Board members debated whether to increase elementary receiving slots to encourage younger students to enroll, and asked if transfers by staff (employees who live outside the district) count toward caps; staff confirmed employee children are counted as transfer requests. Board members also discussed whether the district should consider more granular, grade‑level or school‑level limits if class sizes in specific grades or buildings become constrained.

After discussion, a board member moved and the board approved the recommendation as presented for the 2025–26 school year. The motion passed unanimously; the board directed staff to administer the transfer application window in the spring and to return to the board if adjustments are needed.

Galen, district finance staff member, said the district received a common school fund payment of $302,247 and that the district receives two such payments annually, putting the expected total from those semiannual payments at about $604,000 for the year. Staff also reported they received a revised state school fund estimate the previous Friday, but that it arrived too late to be included in the materials for the meeting.

Galen said most of the February changes reflect normal shifts as encumbrances convert to actual expenditures. However, changes to how encumbrances are tracked and an increase in transportation expenditures contributed to some appropriation categories showing an over‑budget position. He said the district is currently about 4% over budget in certain object/function areas and that staff plan to redistribute contingency and bring a supplemental budget to the board in the spring. Galen noted that under budget law staff can adjust appropriations up to 10% without re-adoption; increases beyond that threshold would require a public notice and hearing.

Board members asked clarifying questions about the relationship between budget (the district’s plan) and cash-flow projections (the district’s actuals). Finance staff explained that the budget is the control document that authorizes spending, while cash-flow monitoring ensures the district maintains adequate cash balances and projects fund balance at year end.

Staff said they will present an updated financial packet at the next board meeting that reflects the revised state school fund estimate and any other adjustments.

Under the proposal staff presented, the district would move a furlough day scheduled for June 13 to Feb. 14 (one of the snow days) so that students would regain one lost contact day. The proposal would also alter the final week of the school year so June 11 becomes a full day of school, June 12 a half day, and June 13 the last staff day, producing an additional student contact day.

To add more instructional time without adding workdays, staff proposed changing the spring conference schedule: a day that had been a half-day of school and a half-day of conferences would become a full school day, and the conference currently scheduled for Friday would shift to Thursday evening. That change would increase student contact time by half a day while keeping a conference day as a noncontract day for staff.

District staff said the changes were negotiated with the NEA and OSEA unions and were presented as a first reading; final adoption will be considered at a future meeting. “We moved the furlough day to the snow day,” Dave, district staff member, said, describing the short-term swap intended to recover instructional minutes.

Board members pressed staff on practical effects. One member said asking teachers to compress conferences into fewer hours could be burdensome and asked about supports for reaching families who are hard to reach. Dave said schools will need to rethink conference formats: staff may contact some families by phone or email rather than providing in-person conferences for every family. He said the district will meet with union and administrator representatives to design an approach that balances contact and workload.

Staff also presented a draft of next year’s full-year calendar that begins the school year after Labor Day and contains no furlough days; the calendar is being used as a baseline for budgeting. Staff said principals requested changes to conference timing — for example moving a spring conference earlier in the year to better affect student progress — and that they were looking at balancing two days of fall conferences with one spring conference.

Board members asked staff to return with work‑session options to review the long-range calendar and conference logistics. Staff said they will discuss logistics with union and building administrators, and that the calendar item will come back for action in a future meeting.

District staff presented the change as a first reading; the board did not take formal action and the amendment will return for a vote at a future meeting after CPRD’s board considers the same language. The addition is intended to “ensure their respective visions for the use and development of Rennie Field remain aligned over time to best serve the needs of students, athletes, and the broader community,” according to the draft language shown to the board.

Dave, district staff member, described the background: the board previously signed an IGA last spring but staff felt the existing document did not memorialize how the district and CPRD would coordinate if Rennie Field is needed for a school in the future. “When we create a long-range facility plan … this is slated for a middle school, probably 20 to 30 years from now,” Dave said, adding that the proposed language is intended to document coordination so future decision-making remains clear.

Board members asked for more context about the district’s long-range facility plan and when it was last updated. Dave said the district’s last long-range facility planning work with Malcom (Malam) architects began in 2017–18 and that enrollment studies are among the first steps for updating the plan because enrollment shifted during the pandemic.

Board members also discussed how the site is referenced in documents. One member said the venue has often been called “Rennie Park” in outside materials but the district uses “Rennie Field” and emphasized consistent naming to avoid community confusion if the site is later needed for a school. The proposed amendment uses language that identifies the site for both recreational and future educational use.

The proposed amendment would require at least a five-year cadence of meetings between district and CPRD staff to review facility plans and discuss proposed changes to current or future uses. The district staff noted that state guidance recommends updating facility plans every 10 years and that the five-year interval is intended to provide more frequent coordination between the partners.

The board did not vote on the amendment; staff asked board members to send questions before the next meeting. The amendment will be presented again after CPRD’s board considers the same language.

The board also requested a future work session to review the district’s long-range facility plan and related enrollment forecasting.
