Why it matters: votes on the superintendent’s contract and the budget calendar set administrative and timeline governance for hiring and budget‑season actions.

Consent agenda
Director Martinez moved to accept the consent agenda; a second was recorded and the chair announced \"Motion carries.\" The transcript shows Chair Wheeler declared a conflict for the consent agenda and did not participate; Director Martinez also declared a conflict and passed the chairing role to Director Martinez for the consent agenda item. The transcript does not record a roll‑call tally or individual yes/no votes for the consent agenda.

Superintendent contract extension
Vice Chair Bridal moved \"to approve and extend the superintendent contract from 2025 through 2020.\" A second was recorded. The motion was discussed (board members referenced the district’s annual evaluation process and positive performance indicators) and the chair announced \"Motion carries.\" The motion text in the meeting record contains inconsistent dates (an extension \"from 2025 through 2020\" reverses years); the transcript does not include an explicit roll‑call tally or the finalized contract language. The record shows two board members (Chair Wheeler and Director Martinez) declared conflicts earlier in the meeting and did not participate in votes for other items; the transcript does not state whether those recusals applied to the superintendent item.

Budget calendar
Vice Chair Bridal moved to approve the 2025‑26 budget calendar; a second was recorded. After discussion the chair announced \"Motion carries.\" The transcript includes no individual vote tallies for this motion.

Additional procedural notes
- Several board members declared conflicts before action item I1 and stepped aside for that item; the meeting record documents the declarations but does not list a vote roll call.
- Where the transcript omits explicit vote tallies or the identity of seconders, this summary notes that the meeting record states motions were moved, seconded and carried but does not invent absent roll‑call counts.

The financial update matters because fund balances and enrollment drive next year’s budget and staffing decisions.

Finance staff said the district received \"just over $5,600,000\" in revenue for February (including January and February state school funds) and recorded about $3,500,000 in expenditures for the same period. The month‑end memo cited a projected 15.7% ending fund balance; staff noted that figure remains fluid and that the district is monitoring higher than expected spending driven in part by Summit Learning Charter’s larger‑than‑anticipated enrollment. The district reports it receives 20% of Summit's state school fund revenue and passes the remainder through to the charter; the underbudgeting occurred because Summit grew faster than anticipated.

The memo also reported transfers executed to several reserve funds (curriculum adoption, tech replacement, transportation replacement, PERS reserve, turf replacement, biomass boiler, and capital improvement), with the transfer to food service to be completed later in the year once year‑end costs are clearer. For the capital improvement fund the memo recorded $11,000 in revenues and $105,000 in expenditures in the reporting period, and staff said they are preparing the first reimbursement request for a seismic rehabilitation grant.

On enrollment, finance staff reported a month‑to‑month increase of seven students and a year‑to‑year increase of 55 students districtwide, which staff said supports next year’s budget outlook. Summit’s enrollment decreased by 14 for the month but remained up 39 from the prior year, staff said.

Board members asked whether the Summit shortfall aligned with Summit’s growth; staff confirmed the increased cost stems from higher actual enrollment than budgeted estimates.

No action was taken at the March 12 meeting; staff said they will continue to monitor spending and transfers as the year progresses.

","The district reported $5.6 million in February revenue, $3.5 million in expenditures for the period, a projected 15.7% ending fund balance in the memo, and staff flagged an underbudgeted pass‑through cost tied to Summit Learning Charter enrollment growth.",{"_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},6276451,"Nutrition, transportation and seismic upgrades highlighted in March operations report",543,1415000,1958000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2660110-e541fbc4234b4f86c6e5901820f36091&start=1415&end=1958","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2660110-e541fbc4234b4f86c6e5901820f36091/thumbnail_1415000.jpg","/articles/6276451/Oregon/Nutrition-transportation-and-seismic-upgrades-highlighted-in-March-operations-report","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6276451-601ad957c523e9c650cf2ba533bcdb00/orig.mp4?Expires=1770835373&Signature=PuFor5mJXGE8-huPLJzK-xHhEGO4HyF1DpvBlKdVZpqHEAapKoUofdlOvwIPamWm09WQXLO34NqvPZYfOR1evXZSM8S0Z-H9L-5aU3m7hQkxQsSe1KqAu-9IngLw2k-oV4URqUvwmaM9osLpwERlqNXGCvZZx4psUp-qfOsc6C4kJfW8BHK1T7sYh-HnQlzng5x8ELlKdk5B0UQITrVLGqC1ff1AG5kh50t4Anx3EoGzzgXByovdbQJJwFxASQFcMzqm5u5cKMJUZMs6do9N5yy~gEpMb8VnYDX8bdxRCNCtiCYusEzO9ErclSmL4bNzasFEIvNFK1PYiXqVf4W2NQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Operations staff delivered the March operations report March 12, detailing system changes in nutrition services, transportation and facilities projects and scheduling for a seismic retrofit.

The operations report matters because the seismic project and other facilities work will temporarily close multiple school facilities and the transportation updates affect daily student routes.

On nutrition services, staff said that beginning Feb. 7 the district shifted from full meals to nutritious snacks on read days, and that the change reduced food waste and produced cost savings; staff reported a 73% cost savings per student attributed to that change and said the switch improved staff efficiency while still providing a balanced snack.

Transportation staff reported successful bell‑time and dismissal adjustments at the middle and elementary schools and said that on the busiest winter season they completed 114 athletic trips and logged 101,816 miles. The department transports 15 students to programs outside the district and added three new CDL‑licensed drivers in February, staff said. Staff also described technology apps used for operations, including a Reunification app and an Estacada High School Read Day app that, staff said, help collect real‑time data to improve systems.

Facilities staff said the CTE complex heat pump installation will be completed over spring break to replace failing heating units, the exterior grading and fencing at the softball batting facility are finished, and siding, electrical and fiber installations are complete. A seismic retrofit funded through a seismic grant will require abatement work and will temporarily close the large gym, PE locker rooms, upstairs wrestling room and sports hall during spring break and again starting Friday, May 9, with expected re‑opening for fall sports on Aug. 12, staff said. Key retrofit work includes reinforcing east and west walls with concrete, new drywall and paint and floor refinishing in the main gym.

Staff also noted that the stadium concession plumbing tie‑ins will occur over spring break and that facilities staff have increased weekend event coverage and installed new locks to improve stadium security.

Board members asked about staffing backfills for three positions and operations responded that two were vacancies and one was an added position due to growth in capacity.

No formal board action was taken on the operations report at the March 12 meeting.

The conference matters to the district because it brings education leaders to Estacada, raises the district’s profile, and generates revenue that the district says it uses for staff professional development.

Communications staff said the March outreach has focused on logistics for the conference and on documenting district practices for an audience of visiting educators. The district reported that most participants are from West Coast districts, with attendees from Washington, Oregon and California and one district from Mississippi. Communications staff also said the district will use a quarterly mailer and other communications to drive kindergarten registration for the coming school year.

Superintendent Ryan Carpenter told the board the district used DHP last year to generate about $40,000 in net revenue and anticipates $30,000–$40,000 again this year; the superintendent said the board has directed those proceeds to employee professional development and out‑of‑district learning opportunities.

\"We're not using a penny of taxpayer funds\" for the district’s DHP professional development spending, Carpenter said, adding that proceeds fund teacher travel to conferences and other professional learning.

Communications and engagement staff also described recent work on enrollment materials, a promotional video for elementary schools focused on kindergarten registration, and a district quarterly mailer. Staff said they received a broader media boost recently when Oregon Public Broadcasting featured the district for its virtual school day capability.

Board members and staff discussed whether the district should add a household survey to DHP registration or mailings to capture whether conference attendees have younger children who might enroll in local schools; staff said a QR code in the mailer is a possible approach.

No formal board action was taken on DHP or enrollment communications at the March 12 meeting.

The plan matters because the district intends the CTE changes to create direct pathways to apprenticeships, college credit and local jobs, district staff said.

Aaron Gardenhire, who led the presentation, described a four‑level program sequence across four program areas — transportation/diesel, manufacturing, agriculture and electrical systems — designed to move students from introductory coursework to industry experience and pre‑apprenticeship opportunities. Gardenhire said the district is preparing an Oregon Department of Education (ODE) program approval packet for the new electrical program before June and is working with partners including Clackamas Community College, PGE and IBEW Local 48 to secure letters of commitment and pre‑apprenticeship connections.

\"The goal is really to provide a best in class experience for [students] and position them to be competitive in post secondary opportunities, as well as direct industry employment after graduation,\" Gardenhire said.

Gardenhire said the manufacturing pathway will broaden beyond a welding focus to include machining and work with multiple materials (metal, wood, textiles) so students leave with a broader set of skills. For transportation, he said the district will combine gas and diesel foundations in early coursework and enable students to specialize later, with articulation to community colleges that offer advanced diesel training.

Superintendent Ryan Carpenter and CTE staff emphasized that aligning curriculum to industry standards and college coursework is central to the plan. Carpenter told the board the district will likely ask the board in coming months to invest \"$300,000 to $400,000\" in curriculum and tools to modernize CTE offerings and to support dual‑credit and pre‑apprenticeship readiness. Carpenter said those investments would be staged across the district’s budgeting process.

Board members pressed for clarity on how the district will track students after graduation and ensure the handoff to apprenticeships or postsecondary programs leads to employment. Gardenhire and district staff said they plan agreements and tracking mechanisms with partners and community colleges to follow students into apprenticeships and jobs.

Gardenhire also described a proposed regional collaboration, described in materials as a South County career technical advancement partnership (working title), to allow Estacada students to access programs at neighboring districts while remaining Estacada students and to share college credit arrangements with Clackamas Community College.

District staff presented the CTE work as a multi‑year rollout rather than a single‑year change. Gardenhire said the district’s goal is to have instructors, curriculum and industry agreements in place so students can earn industry‑recognized credentials or receive credit that reduces time and cost for further training.

The presentation included questions from board members on specifics, including articulation with diesel programs at regional training centers and whether students would earn credentials employers recognize. Gardenhire said he has visited regional programs and is arranging articulation agreements with Chemeketa and others.

The board did not take formal action on the CTE plan at the March 12 meeting. Carpenter said he would return with budget requests and ODE application materials in future months.

The district named potential partners in the presentation and Q&A, including Clackamas Community College, PGE and IBEW Local 48, and outlined outreach to Malolla/Molalla School District (transcript spelling varied) as part of a regional approach.

Heading into budget season, Carpenter said district leaders view CTE investments as a priority to modernize programs and to meet local employer demand.

","District staff presented a multi‑year plan to expand career and technical education (CTE) pathways — including diesel/transportation, manufacturing, agriculture and a new electrical systems program — and said they will pursue state approval, industry partnerships and about $300,000–$400,000 in curriculum investment.","actionData","errors"]
