The vote, taken after a presentation and extended discussion about priorities and metrics, passed 6-0 (Judah — aye; Sammie — aye; Chris — aye; Bernie — aye; Therese — aye; Chair — aye).

The plan bundles multiple federal and state funding streams into a single biennial application intended to coordinate investments in early literacy, high school success and career-connected learning, the Student Investment Account (SIA), and other targeted programs. “Integrated guidance is multiple streams of federal and state funds and initiatives that all come together in one plan,” Melissa Harter said during the board presentation, describing the document the board approved for submission.

Why it matters: the integrated guidance determines how the district allocates federal and state program dollars that support after-school interventions, high-dosage tutoring, bilingual coaching, career and technical education (CTE) equipment and staffing, mental-health therapists, and districtwide health and nursing services. The application also sets the district’s longitudinal performance growth targets (LPGTs) for measures such as third-grade reading, ninth-grade on-track attendance, graduation rates, and a local optional metric — algebra I completion by ninth grade.

Board discussion and priorities: district staff said the plan reflects community and student input gathered through listening sessions, youth surveys and targeted school meetings. Presenters described several planned investments highlighted in the application: restroom and common-area refreshes at high-usage sites, modernization of CTE spaces (including a new health science lab and flooring work at Crescent Valley High School), stipends for CTE machine maintenance, continued funding for bilingual reading coaches and MTSS specialists, free athletics through the district athletics fund, and continued district-paid AP exam fees.

Staff emphasized the centrality of early literacy and instructional coaching. Nikki and colleagues described targeted uses of early-literacy funds for high-dose tutoring, curriculum purchases aligned with the science of reading, and training for kindergarten through third-grade teachers. Melissa and others said the district is combining early-literacy funds with a 21st Century Community Learning Centers after-school program (Paiges) to expand intervention time and enrichment for priority students.

Board members and staff also discussed fiscal uncertainty at the state and federal level. Presenters noted the state co-chairs’ budget figure reported in Ways and Means and flagged the risk that special-education funding changes or federal program reductions could force the district to reallocate local funds. The board discussed the need to gather stories and advocacy materials to present to legislators should appropriations for special education or federal grants not materialize.

Next steps: staff will submit the application to ODE by the April 30 deadline. ODE will review the plan, confer with district staff to set LPGTs and return grant award notices; the district will report back to the board with final award amounts and specific targets.

During discussion, a board member highlighted item 13c in the executive contracts packet and specifically welcomed the district’s internal hire, Byron, for an executive role (referred to in meeting remarks as an “experience director” position). The board member said Byron had been her principal at Adams and praised hiring from within the district as valuable for institutional knowledge and continuity.

The consolidated action motion covered the set of routine and personnel items presented in the board packet; the board did not raise objections during the roll call. The board chair declared the motion adopted following the unanimous vote.

The proclamation (identified by resolution number 220205 in the read text) traces national and state history cited by the district: it referred to the opening of the Fairhaven training center in Salem in 1907 as a state institution for people with developmental disabilities, the establishment of an Oregon Board of Eugenics in 1923 and the state’s historical policy of forced sterilization that continued until 1981 and was not abolished by the Oregon State Senate until 1983. The proclamation also noted National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month was first proclaimed nationally in 1987.

The board’s read text concludes by proclaiming March — and March annually — as Developmental Disability Awareness Month in the district and “strongly encourage[s] students, families, staff, and community members to establish and participate in local celebrations and encourage all schools in the district to help highlight this month in grade appropriate ways.” The proclamation text recorded in the meeting packet lists the adoption language and resolution number as part of the document presented to the board.

No separate vote was recorded on the read proclamation during the meeting; the proclamation text presented to the board includes a line that reads, “Adopted by the board of directors of school district number 509J Corvallis of Benton and Linn Counties, Oregon at its regular meeting this day.”","Board read a proclamation recognizing March as Developmental Disability Awareness Month in the Corvallis School District and noted the historical context of disability institutionalization and eugenics in Oregon.

Paiges operates at Lincoln, Garfield and Letitia Carson elementary schools Monday–Thursday from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., Peterson said. Enrollment reported during the board presentation: Lincoln — 46 students with seven staff; Garfield — 24 students with four staff on-site (two additional bilingual educational assistants rotate to cover a Spanish-intervention slot); Letitia Carson — 40 students with seven staff. The program provides a full supper prepared by the district before outside recess and an academic/enrichment rotation that includes social-emotional learning, STEAM, reading and math intervention.

Community partners include Smart Reading, which provides weekly one-on-one adult readers and free take-home books; the Corvallis Environmental Center, which provides nature educators and hands-on lessons; and the Crescent Valley STEM Outreach Club, whose high-school volunteers deliver STEM lessons. Peterson said those partnerships are a consistent program highlight.

Reading outcomes presented to the board show Paiges students performing above the average of the three sites on a number of benchmark items used for early readers: decoding words-per-minute (district sites average about 6.5 words per minute; Paiges students averaged about 9 words per minute), real-word decoding accuracy and one-minute accuracy percentages (district average about 8.5 percent accuracy; Paiges students about 15.5 percent accuracy on the assessed measures). Staff said the program intentionally pairs intervention programs (SIPs for English decoding and El Próximo for Spanish) with enrichment to accelerate reading growth.

Board questions focused on capacity and funding. Peterson said most sites are at or near capacity; space, staff and funding limit expansion. The program is primarily funded through the federal 21st CCLC grant; staff noted that continued federal support is uncertain and recommended advocacy via meetings or correspondence with legislators and area congressional offices.

“Every student outside every day” was cited as a program goal during the presentation; Peterson said staff track social-emotional and academic indicators and use district benchmarks and program assessments to make day-to-day instructional decisions. Board members commended staff for the program’s rapid development and asked staff to continue documenting student outcomes for future advocacy.
