Staff reported that the district completed facility-condition data but has not yet submitted the assessment and long-range plan to the state. The board was told facility-condition assessments are valid for four years once submitted, and staff recommended delaying submission until the district can align the assessment window with a targeted election to maximize matching‑grant eligibility. A presenter noted a grant award amount discussed earlier had increased from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000, and that submission timing affects grant matching eligibility.

Directors discussed community engagement needs and consultant support for outreach, and staff said the earliest realistic target for a bond measure would be the 2026 election — with November 2026 mentioned as a likely target if the district needs more runway for community work.

Board members asked for additional timeline details and data to be available for an upcoming work session. Staff agreed to provide data analysis in time for that work session and to present a firm schedule once the board confirms a preference for an election date.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","NWCSD March 13th School Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Board members and staff discussed facility condition assessments, a long-range facility plan and timing for a potential bond measure; staff recommended delaying submission of assessments to preserve grant eligibility tied to targeted election windows.","taxTitle","North Wasco County SD 21, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",67607,"location","Oregon","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6277712,"OSU Extension presents SmokeReadyGorge air‑quality monitors to district",551,2596000,3147000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2647400-af0cbfaf7c43aaef0e1382e74c34e7f9&start=2596&end=3147","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2647400-af0cbfaf7c43aaef0e1382e74c34e7f9/thumbnail_2596000.jpg","/articles/6277712/Oregon/OSU-Extension-presents-SmokeReadyGorge-airquality-monitors-to-district","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277712-5b6b1e0e136beb1c97978a04d83e83f6/orig.mp4?Expires=1775182023&Signature=HKySUhalvk6iXZQVlk8tLVA3189d4-hbPSkAXQ294T50~UuMGMRTtNfjN9QeNsSSptDh7Ne~i9FnxgHJUqu4Oo0BeG3FR0VuCN4of~wUbjrN33CgtLgpItqYV~karYW2H9Ld6sUKdoh7g40SaoTH3ESZBzIstts3IBMbMOmCPkpN852LXcOAaIK5ov04TSLd3vniShFkRZr6ZXYiMtgTiukGztyZN5Xa7DRlsUK~rXWFFaW7jC8xOvFfRO53FCGmAAW3xLZ54qWrpxjKalPUi8eeBLTrnlyG4FS7ykRaf8rqODe3yzuX-twS8PiDiz-tbeOS4ANllfm82kePOM1vRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A representative from Oregon State University Extension Service presented the SmokeReadyGorge project and the district’s new indoor and outdoor air-quality monitors at the board meeting.

Grace Lesson, identified as an OSU Extension Service educator for Hood River and Wasco counties, told the board that OSU received funding from the OSU SPIRE Center (NIH‑funded) to supply each North Wasco County School District site with indoor and outdoor monitors. “Smoke is an emerging and continuing public health hazard,” Lesson said, explaining that fine particulate matter from wildfire smoke can penetrate developing lungs and affect student health and learning.

Lesson demonstrated the public dashboard available at smokereadygorge.org and described two tabletop monitors intended for staff use in gyms and cafeterias. She said the Oregon Health Authority provides guidance for schools and childcare centers about outdoor activity limits tied to air quality index levels and that the monitors are meant to inform district decisions about outdoor activities during smoke events.

OSU Extension staff advised the board that smoke forecasting is an evolving area and that smoke can travel hundreds of miles, making preparation and year‑round monitoring necessary. Lesson encouraged districts to use the monitors as a tool for planning and to contact OSU Extension for materials and guidance; distribution and policy implementation remain under district jurisdiction.

The board asked about forecasting and distribution of materials; Lesson said OSU Extension will provide information and that the district retains authority over activity policies.","An OSU Extension Service representative briefed the board on a SmokeReadyGorge project that placed indoor and outdoor air monitors at district sites; the data are publicly available at smokereadygorge.org and intended to guide activity decisions on smoky days.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6277717,"Board adopts supplemental budget recognizing student investment account funds",150,3114000,3264000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2647400-af0cbfaf7c43aaef0e1382e74c34e7f9&start=3114&end=3264","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2647400-af0cbfaf7c43aaef0e1382e74c34e7f9/thumbnail_3114000.jpg","/articles/6277717/Oregon/Board-adopts-supplemental-budget-recognizing-student-investment-account-funds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277717-9340e5b15bafd69dab65ab15fbe0dc89/orig.mp4?Expires=1775182023&Signature=Dg~XlyG3tgSqxkGyorCVMDQxcI0DVeTJxiNNh0BFjut-6le6Lp21wVjOUtcRZd1XbXo-CUZwBoIwv8dMNqCfpN-hPE8n0LLV5hqgyc-syQqhv89URAHDvQTvH6hQYqEoP3tB4BL6~KeB~s3DeIN1beZn3zOYHZwrCjrqvZO37NqU-V03rT-iR0cJ1hobSd2i8dTrmQnEbATrRMtfZmOqlIEY2RKfCu5BR1XNl4l3~YaLOm~zCHRFfaKeMWhKGf0iM7MYqqLqZokQ7yln4nwNjlCX2QiX2R81mzsQG-YBZbuchegHkpMn2MZqzhDG-nI8bnzZPEQ1Asn3wH2NSr6~CA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Wasco County SD 21 Board of Directors approved a supplemental budget resolution to recognize Student Investment Account funds and adjust appropriations previously set in the adopted budget.

Chief Financial Officer Mr. Anderson told the board the resolution reflects recognition of grant amounts that were not finalized when the board adopted the budget last June. “It really isn't new money to spend,” he said, adding that staff expects this to be the last significant budget adjustment tied to that grant round.

Director Nelson moved to approve the resolution (cited in the meeting as resolution 24 5 11). The motion was called and approved by voice vote; the transcript records an aye response and no opposition but does not provide a roll-call tally or the name of a seconder.

Finance staff said the adoption may lead to internal transfers of appropriations but does not create new program spending beyond the grant’s intended uses. The CFO also flagged enrollment variance as an item staff will continue to monitor and, if needed, adjust in future budget updates.

The board received the financial report packet that accompanies the resolution; staff noted some items remain under review and that final appropriation transfers may be brought forward later if necessary.","Directors approved a supplemental budget amendment to recognize Student Investment Account funds; finance staff said the action merely adjusts previously budgeted amounts and does not represent new discretionary funding.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6277722,"Board approves cooperative baseball and softball agreements after public appeal",3525,180000,3705000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2647400-af0cbfaf7c43aaef0e1382e74c34e7f9&start=180&end=3705","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2647400-af0cbfaf7c43aaef0e1382e74c34e7f9/thumbnail_180000.jpg","/articles/6277722/Oregon/Board-approves-cooperative-baseball-and-softball-agreements-after-public-appeal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277722-c4e867ce0d2e39a32aebf716a3f18ed0/orig.mp4?Expires=1775182023&Signature=K~8NmCTVueDsz39CrkWeTSXrJUk-IUaYTC4Z0rfgjBU6wfbkvFBHFYXriZX3um3x5Cy8Yqs-oHn3xWv9X32LzQIkAfL0tmPUGvWbvx2qsn10iCujVimc47Rw~bfwNeYqNsWEzFTNi5mbz2jkTEM5azF85uUwJo0DfrsXkeW6BcjcPsR~2bFc4nXL3bfWFACC7TYzXLY3qv7MWXR0nS4YT6EvP-2MrRaebiR8gHlIu9BYGFArBuWSVczjlzXwP1PU~7ICUC-g4ktt29pIaw2k53TgzP7mJrwIqR5H8dN31efqCxvBfdGuWC0PXyHJCEKqA1SzLNfpcWCNky42YZYoQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Wasco County SD 21 Board of Directors voted to approve cooperative athletic agreements that allow students from neighboring districts to join the district’s baseball and softball teams for the 2024–25 school year.

Supporters of the agreements, including former and current coaches and athletes, told the board the cooperatives preserve opportunities for small‑district students to compete. Director Aparicio moved to approve both cooperative agreements; the motion passed on a roll call vote.

The board heard several public comments before the vote. A former student-athlete, Hunter Woods, and local volunteer coaches described long histories of cooperative programs and said the agreements produced scholarships, stronger teams and lasting relationships. One speaker urged the board: “Please, if you would, give these students an opportunity to come and participate as you guys have had in the past.” Those remarks appeared during the public comment period and under the agenda discussion for the cooperative-agreement items.

Board discussion noted classification and average daily membership (ADM) concerns used by the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA). Staff reported that combining the district’s ADM with the partner districts for these specific agreements would keep the district within its current 4A classification and would not change playoff classifications or travel expectations.

Director Aparicio said the board regretted the “rocky start” to the season and moved to approve the agreements “as presented.” The motion was seconded (name not specified in the record) and approved in a roll call vote (detailed vote names and counts not specified in the transcript).

The cooperative agreements approved at the meeting were listed on the agenda as: initiating action item 18 — a cooperative sports agreement with Buford School District for baseball (2024–25) and a cooperative sports agreement with Bakersfield School District for softball (2024–25). The board previously considered related winter‑sport cooperative agreements earlier this school year.

The board did not amend the agreements during the meeting. Staff will complete any required paperwork with OSAA and the partner districts as part of implementation.","North Wasco County SD 21 directors approved cooperative-agreement renewals that allow student-athletes from neighboring districts to join River Hawk baseball and softball teams after public speakers urged the board to preserve longstanding co-op arrangements.","actionData","errors"]
