Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda, as amended, which included personnel recommendations, approval of prior board minutes and second readings of several policies (CBG, CCB, DDB, DDC, BBCA and GBNAB/JHFE among those listed in the packet). A board member moved and another seconded the motion; the chair called for a voice vote and the motion was recorded as carrying unanimously.

Integrated programs application: The board approved the district’s integrated grants application (Student Investment Account, High School Success and related funds). That action is described in detail in a separate article.

Copier procurement: The board approved a notice of intent to participate in a cooperative procurement administered by OETC and to contract with Pacific Office Automation for a new copier lease and managed print services. Staff said the cooperative process is authorized under the state procurement statutes cited by staff, that the district’s current copier lease expires in June, and that the new arrangement would reduce lease costs by about $70 per month and lower per‑copy charges. The board approved the intent to contract by voice vote; the motion was recorded as carrying unanimously.

How the votes were recorded: Each motion passed by voice vote and was recorded by the chair as unanimous; the transcript does not list a roll‑call (individual yes/no) tally for these motions.

Why it matters: The consent agenda completes routine district business, the copier decision updates an expiring equipment lease and the integrated application sets the district’s state‑funded priorities for the next biennium.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved the consent agenda as amended, authorized submission of the integrated programs application (see separate article) and approved intent to contract for district copiers under a cooperative procurement.","taxTitle","Newberg SD 29J, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",60578,"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},6264775,"Board approves integrated programs application that bundles SIA, high‑school success and early literacy funds",794,5068000,5862000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3095846-ca6900f1cfba495c95b00370bfcd4806&start=5068&end=5862","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3095846-ca6900f1cfba495c95b00370bfcd4806/thumbnail_5068000.jpg","/articles/6264775/Oregon/Board-approves-integrated-programs-application-that-bundles-SIA-highschool-success-and-early-literacy-funds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264775-4b16ba5957262c78269d4dcb5d0d15ef/orig.mp4?Expires=1776172271&Signature=Up5RHpULfwy~5otK-MOEVsrKf3o-lu5yvdOn2LUVD0zJSnSezv13srtpNRPk0efkOFMggbA3v4u2D9DqZuwGjxFTaRN3a-KOyQ7k5ctje8vfUXZa75Zi1rxSmfm4M4ZL9IKDYhwUKf-17On4oivbK~MqVGEAsWLME0QUGHH7xxEiY1oZ9uZud9M3MQMxGt05HRpY~DwTDdkf0Gjj8a6sh5a2NjZbPm6akdhs2aFO5j9TMO2JrQf4Hb-ir8ILYVSmxlHz9QeR7nDAdWmi1nV9Y7oKtE9KH36rDhW7kafB~44FaGKNmTLEXQcUug-UPhmmbofF3DoBIwfq8MVMnisaLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Newberg School District Board of Directors approved the district’s integrated programs application for the next biennium during the April 22 meeting.

Jillian, a district staff member who led the presentation, told directors the integrated plan bundles several Oregon Department of Education funding streams — including Student Investment Account (SIA) allocations, High School Success funds, early literacy grants and smaller early indicator/intervention supports — into a coordinated biennial application. The district’s stated outcomes remain the same: raise attendance, boost graduation rates, expand CTE access, improve math and language‑arts outcomes, reduce student‑to‑staff ratios and sustain professional learning.

Administrators said most of the integrated allocation will fund staff positions: school counselors, licensed therapists, the school‑based health center, CTE staff and tutoring/early‑literacy positions. The presentation noted the second year of a biennium typically shows a higher allocation, which explains a modest difference between the packet’s older figures and the presentation slides. Staff also said state revenue forecasts remain subject to the state’s May revenue forecast and the Legislature’s final budget decisions.

Board members asked about the funding assumptions (including the state “cat tax” source for SIA/high‑school success funds) and the programmatic emphasis on staffing versus non‑staff expenses. Staff said they prioritized staffing in the next biennium so direct student supports are preserved.

Motion and outcome: A board member moved to approve the integrated application as presented; another director seconded and the board approved the application by voice vote. The board recorded the motion as carrying unanimously.

Why it matters: The approved integrated application commits the district’s forthcoming SIA, high‑school success and early‑literacy allocations to specific staffing and program priorities for the next biennium, shaping how counseling, intervention, CTE and tutoring services will be delivered.","The board unanimously approved the district’s integrated grants application for the next biennium; the plan largely preserves prior goals and allocates the bulk of funding to staffing for counselors, therapists, CTE and reading interventions.",{"_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},6264778,"District staff proposes boundary committee, strategic plan and staged long‑range facilities work",1806,1896000,3702000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3095846-ca6900f1cfba495c95b00370bfcd4806&start=1896&end=3702","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3095846-ca6900f1cfba495c95b00370bfcd4806/thumbnail_1896000.jpg","/articles/6264778/Oregon/District-staff-proposes-boundary-committee-strategic-plan-and-staged-longrange-facilities-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264778-fde1447fa983a40175253ca210b9482c/orig.mp4?Expires=1776172271&Signature=DeRDSvL3eYzkH6Fw~G~niT5uxVWoNeeXudZZomFdxRLDogOt03wwmm6IQIS1Ym5bAylE6mQn14XLAIxbXaIQX6Utffj6zmR9zFgae6raJErNuXYFQXxFu1d13pSWAOxWKHlJwwKdSeOsKFzWfG72xaWq-xVPW3WDFBdyozBP~i7mO61xLUROK6~QhggDvbp6GZRo86AE~JzQK2Ke47Tu0I8E7Ffa2akYPtLC-T0Swlr28fmVTGSmlq4XJ94dyaA7X5mOtmkhvxjuS1YNMWXnHFG~geHq4yTEJfLSC~uzGxnQiuqTKqPENjY29A-AUmWkxhO3Uj8dWM-bRtgMC2NaQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District administrators told the Newberg School District board on April 22 that the district’s last long‑range facility plan, completed around January 2019, is now outdated and needs multi-stage work: boundary review, strategic planning, then a refreshed long‑range facilities analysis tied to any future bond planning.

Interim Superintendent Dave (identified in the meeting as interim superintendent) said the plan should knit together three long‑term elements: a refreshed teaching and learning vision and strategic plan, a facility‑condition and replacement forecast (buildings are modeled over a 75–100 year life span) and enrollment/capacity forecasting. The plan in the packet used forecasts from 2018–2019 that substantially overstated enrollment: the earlier forecast predicted roughly a 200‑pupil increase while actual enrollment is about 1,000 students lower than that projection, staff said.

Administrators recommended a sequence: (1) run a boundary committee next fall including staff, parents and community members to examine neighborhood assignments and balance school utilization; (2) start a district strategic planning process in spring to refresh mission, vision and priorities; and (3) commission a formal long‑range facility plan and enrollment study (often using outside demographers) once boundaries and strategic priorities are clearer. Several board members supported the phased approach and emphasized thorough community engagement and caution about hasty school closures.

Board members also discussed staffing and operating cost implications of multiple small schools, and noted the boundary committee work can take several months to years depending on community discussion. Directors asked whether enrollment forecasting would account for new housing permitting; staff said enrollment studies typically incorporate city permitting and apply household‑to‑student conversion ratios, but noted those ratios have changed in recent years and an expert study will be used.

Superintendent Dave raised one implementation concern: his current contract runs through June 30, 2026, and several directors recommended the board consider whether to extend his contract to preserve continuity for multi‑year projects such as boundary work and a long‑range facility plan. Directors said they plan to discuss that timeline with legal counsel and bring a board decision forward by June if they choose to seek an extension.

Why it matters: The boundary, strategic‑planning and facility processes determine where students attend, how buildings are sized and whether the district will propose a bond for construction or modernization. Directors emphasized engaging parents and staff, balancing enrollment across schools, and avoiding abrupt changes that would disrupt students and teachers.","Superintendent and staff described an outdated long‑range facility plan and recommended a boundary committee next fall and strategic planning in spring to gather enrollment, capacity and community input before a full long-range facilities update and any bond work.",{"_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},6264783,"Board reviews OSBA-recommended policy updates in first reading",685,1302000,1987000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3095846-ca6900f1cfba495c95b00370bfcd4806&start=1302&end=1987","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3095846-ca6900f1cfba495c95b00370bfcd4806/thumbnail_1302000.jpg","/articles/6264783/Oregon/Board-reviews-OSBA-recommended-policy-updates-in-first-reading","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264783-20285cb9a6944beea8c63922bf087f4d/orig.mp4?Expires=1776172272&Signature=MoWGsCGhYQPfzLAtsSckZ8G0y4lhzNHeffvolBNx3eaiHJkO7a4GYiRZQHxAmW4w-nQMLklco6A-UwQqWZyr8mZpbiPhmjqQlF9YA5h8n~cayP-7ItFOjAPSOoTtUVCiN6mg4xx42KeuRiyn8Zse8jzjb9laCVyBXn1qw-SMKKQK4urDdeGFrnjX5dQ~6be9YXanCHTxyZC2wXwFe-Onm0a0lkm236mddUuubVBlwoTq4Er9PD5RxwgKjjoX7KsUTtBpvoND7qCgYXmM71nFP4ne3okqgO5-KWkaXx81UUSJnBXhr~4VW9wcCbw1JyHu0XcHb2JKwfYbojwu5IRWbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Newberg School District Board of Directors spent a portion of its April 22 work session on a first reading of multiple policy updates drawn from Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) model language.

Board members discussed a packet that includes the district’s current versions, a highlighted draft with district additions, and OSBA’s model policy text. Director Allen explained the packet contains three versions so directors can compare district language with OSBA recommendations and noted the district added state-required language for admissions and clearer references for foster and houseless students.

Board members asked for clarification about several items OSBA recommended deleting, including policies on community and public involvement (KC and KB), psychological testing of students (JHDA), and other older policies that appear duplicated in the district’s set. Directors said they want to know whether OSBA removed the items because those topics are covered elsewhere (for example, in the student rights and responsibilities handbook) or because OSBA no longer maintains model policy for them. Director Wolfer and others requested OSBA’s rationale for deletions before the second reading.

Administrators said the district will follow its normal process: the board adopts policy and district staff draft administrative rules (ARs) to implement the policy. Staff committed to bring an AR clarifying the district’s expectations and step-by-step procedures for child-abuse reporting tied to the policy when the policy returns for second reading.

Board members also asked staff to verify dates and duplicate policies (for example, IGBHE appeared twice in the district files with different dates) and to confirm whether OSBA will publish replacement language or updated references. Directors emphasized that removing a policy from the district manual does not prevent the board from encouraging community involvement, but some members said they consider formal policies a strong signal of district priorities and asked administrators to explore whether community-involvement language should remain as policy or be emphasized in district priorities.

Administrators agreed to: (1) ask OSBA for the reasoning behind each recommended deletion; (2) correct misspellings found in the minutes packet (a board member noted Kiwanis Club was misspelled); (3) bring the clarified child-abuse administrative rule with the second reading of the related policy; and (4) verify which of the district’s duplicate policies should remain active and correct the official dates before second reading.

Board members did not take final action on the policies at the meeting; the items were presented for first reading and scheduled to return for second reading after staff follow-up.

Why it matters: Board adoption or deletion of policies shapes the district’s official rules and signals priorities to families and staff. Directors said they want clear administrative rules that instruct employees how to meet legal reporting obligations and requested OSBA’s rationale when model policies are removed so the board can decide whether local policy language is still needed.","The Newberg School District board discussed a set of policy updates drawn from OSBA model policies in a first reading, asked administrators for clarifications on several items and asked staff to check why OSBA recommended deleting some older community-engagement policies.","actionData","errors"]
