What staff told the board: The presenter said the district’s CSE plan, originally approved in 2019, follows Oregon Department of Education standards and a continuous-improvement process that includes teacher and parent review kiosks (37 kiosks were cited), annual surveys of administrators and student exit surveys after units, and quarterly secondary health-teacher meetings.

Provider retirements and curriculum changes: Staff said two community partners who had supplied curriculum components will stop updating their content. CARES Northwest will allow continued local use of its sixth- and eighth-grade materials but will no longer update them; SARP (a local sexual-assault resource organization) will retire the high-school curriculum after this school year and has asked districts to stop using it thereafter. The presenter said those retirements prompted the district to plan a phased adaptation for ninth- and tenth-grade lessons using approved, publicly available curricula already listed in the district’s 2019 plan.

Planned replacements and timeline: For ninth grade the district plans to adapt content from the 3Rs (an open-source resource) with supplemental material from Project Wellness. For tenth grade staff plan to adapt “My Future, My Choice” (currently used in earlier grades) and supplement with other approved materials; staff said they have already completed a standards crosswalk with state partners and expect to complete adaptations by January 2026 so the lessons will be ready for delivery in spring 2026. Staff emphasized the adaptations will use materials already approved under the district’s earlier CSE plan or its comprehensive health curriculum.

Implementation details and family review: Staff reiterated that open-source materials are posted online where possible and that family-review kiosks exist for curriculum that publishers do not allow to be posted. Staff said families receive notification letters before CSE units are taught. The district also noted a recent state adoption of integrated social-emotional-learning standards and updates to Oregon’s health education standards; staff said those changes prompted some publisher updates to approved curricula.

Questions and next steps: Board members asked about effectiveness data; staff said some measures come from state or grant-funded surveys tied to specific curricula and that much local evidence is anecdotal (senior exit surveys, teacher feedback). Staff committed to continue development over the summer and to return with completed tenth-grade adaptations and supporting materials for public review before spring 2026 implementation.

District transportation staff said the updates respond to new development and traffic changes near Tamarack Elementary and in South Hillsboro. “Through ODE, we can establish a supplemental plan, which then allows us to receive that 7% reimbursement of the transporting of students,” the staff presenter said during the board work session.

Why it matters: The board must certify routes and hazard zones to secure the reimbursement from the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). Staff told the board that recent construction — including the opening of a new bridge and extensions that have routed additional traffic onto Cornelius Pass and nearby streets — made some previously designated walk zones unsafe for students.

Details from staff: Transportation staff said the changes affect middle- and high-school walking eligibility differently from elementary school; the district uses ODE definitions to determine when a route is a hazard. The presenter pointed to two specific areas on a district map: a previously blocked route near a cluster of newly built apartments and businesses and a southern area newly opened by a bridge that staff said will become a multi-lane thoroughfare. Staff told the board they are coordinating with city engineers on longer-term mitigation such as crosswalk/roundabout improvements and sidewalks.

Board action and vote: Director Erica Lopez moved to adopt the supplemental transportation plan; Director Monique Ward seconded. The board voted by roll call: Erica Lopez, Patrick McGuire, Nancy Thomas, Monique Ward, Mark Watson and Yvette Pantoja all voted “aye.” The motion carried.

What the action does (and does not): Adoption authorizes the district to submit the supplemental plan to ODE for certification of hazard zones and to pursue the associated 7% reimbursement on qualifying runs. Staff emphasized the plan itself is a certification of walking/route hazards and does not immediately change bus routes until staff completes route adjustments and publishes them.

Next steps: Staff said they will continue coordination with city transportation officials about future traffic mitigation and will bring any operational routing changes back to the board as required.

Surplus equipment and disposal: The board voted to declare the listed items surplus and authorized disposal in accordance with district surplus policy. Director Nancy Thomas moved the motion and it was seconded from the dais. During discussion board members noted specific items — including five upright pianos — and asked how proceeds from auctions are recorded; finance staff said proceeds return to the district and will be reflected in future reports. The motion passed by roll call with all directors voting aye.

CityView Charter School agreement (2025–2030): The board approved a five-year renewal of the CityView Charter School agreement. The district said it added contract language (section 6.3) to address recruitment and communication about enrollment among local groups and that CityView had ratified the revised charter. Director Erica Lopez moved approval and Director Monique Ward seconded; the roll call vote was unanimous.

Superintendent performance evaluation and personnel action: The board read and placed a formal evaluation letter in the superintendent’s personnel file after a standards-based evaluation process. The board commended the superintendent for his leadership and approved an individual employment contract extending from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. Both actions were adopted by roll call vote with all directors recorded as voting yes.

Teacher testimony and community reaction: Century theater teacher Cassandra Sivet (identified in public comment) said the program did not receive timely district-led support when enrollment forecasts showed low numbers and that staff and students were not consulted on possible alternatives before the decision. “When the district announced the cuts, they were vastly unprepared to communicate with those affected,” the teacher told the board, noting outreach and promotion efforts her program had conducted.

Students, parents and alumni described theater as a lifesaving community and a learning environment that develops technical and workforce skills — set design, lighting, stage carpentry and production — in addition to performance. Parent Sean O’Brien said his son, who has autism and struggled socially, found friends through theater and that it ended suicidal ideation the parent said he’d observed earlier. “He talks to people. He's been involved in two theater productions at Century,” O’Brien said.

Forecasts and district explanation: District staff and Principal Casper told the board that the daytime theater sections were “paused” because forecasted enrollment did not meet the thresholds to run scheduled class sections. Staff provided forecasting numbers during the meeting: 15 students selected Theater 2; theater 3 forecast enrolled 4 students; theater 4 forecast ranged from 8 to 15 depending on final sign-ups; technical-theater courses also had low forecasts in several sections. A district staff member noted that, even if all interested students were combined, the total did not reach the enrollment needed for a single regular-period class.

District response on continuation and alternatives: Superintendent Reimann apologized for communication gaps and said Principal Casper has been meeting with affected students individually. Reimann said the district intends to keep theater production opportunities after school and that many juniors and seniors pursuing the theater career pathway still can combine humanities and senior seminar elements with after-school production to complete pathway requirements. “At Century High School, we still plan to offer theater production after school,” the superintendent said.

Concerns raised about equity, mental health and logistical impacts: Commenters and students asked for clarity on senior capstones, guidance for students who need theater for graduation pathways, and transparency about staffing transfers tied to budget reductions. Several speakers highlighted that theater programs often serve a high proportion of LGBTQ and neurodivergent students and called the district’s execution and communication “harmful” and “devastating.”

Next steps and board response: Board members thanked speakers for their advocacy, apologized for communication breakdowns and asked district staff to continue conversations with principals, teachers and students about options. Staff said they will explore possible alternatives — including combined classes, after-school programming, and cross-site partnerships — and will provide follow-up information to students and families.

Why it matters: The district said it expects some tax-rate capacity to free up when earlier bonds are retired; staff and an outside advisor (Piper Sandler) modeled scenarios that show a possible bonding capacity in the range of approximately $250 million to $300 million under conservative assumptions. Staff cautioned that grant awards (such as a state “awesome” grant referenced in the presentation), bond-market conditions and any bond-sale premiums will affect the final amount.

Process and timeline: Staff said the district has issued a request for proposals and plans to select a consultant to support bond development and community engagement; the goal is to present a recommended consultant at the June 17 board meeting. The district intends to convene a bond development committee that will gather community input, refine a universe of capital needs (facilities, technology renewal, deferred maintenance) and develop package options for public feedback. Staff named community leaders who will co-chair the committee, including Erica Lopez and former Hillsboro Mayor Steve Cowell.

Prior bond context and funding notes: Presenters reviewed the 2017 bond’s outcomes and noted that in that cycle the district leveraged state grant funds and bond sale premiums to increase project capacity. Staff said the district does not expect to replicate the exact premium levels from 2017 but described the current payoff capacity as a reason to start planning now. They also said the district will partner with consultants to package projects and present options to voters.

Board role and next steps: Staff asked for board participation in proposal review if members are available and committed to an expedited schedule. If a consultant is selected in mid-June, staff said the development committee will immediately begin pulling together project lists and public outreach planning with a likely public engagement period to follow.
