The consent agenda items approved included designation of the local government investment pool and KeyBank as district depositories for 2025–26; naming the superintendent as chief administrative officer, district clerk and hearings officer; designating auditors and attorney of record; authorizing cooperative purchase agreements with other agencies; designating the business manager as deputy clerk, custodian of funds and budget officer; and designating the superintendent as signature authority on all state and federal grants for 2025–26. The board also authorized continuing the award for food products and nonfood supplies to Cisco for 2025–26 and accepted the retirement of Angie Yon, special education teacher at the junior high, contingent on placement in a post-retirement agreement.

Superintendent Terry reported that district staffing is \"within 1\" of being fully filled for the coming year and described a contingency plan if a Title teacher position could not be secured. Terry provided enrollment figures: 2,159 at the end of May (05/30) and 2,148 at the end of the most recent month. He said the district currently has 64 kindergarten students on the books and that the smaller kindergarten cohort was expected given recent birth-rate trends.

The consent agenda was approved by voice vote. Board members agreed to read the consent items in full to ensure new trustees understood the routine items and to allow any trustee to pull an item for separate discussion.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","July Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Sweet Home board approved its consent agenda including depositories, auditors and attorney of record, authorized administrative signatures and accepted a retirement; Superintendent Terry reported near-complete staffing and noted enrollment numbers and a smaller incoming kindergarten cohort (64 currently enrolled).","taxTitle","Sweet Home SD 55, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",67611,"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},6655545,"Sweet Home board approves long-range facility planning, hires GLAS Architects with $80,000 in grant funding",748,2212000,2960000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5386774-16780c24fb469f90bd0dba8b63effef9&start=2212&end=2960","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5386774-16780c24fb469f90bd0dba8b63effef9/thumbnail_2212000.jpg","/articles/6655545/Oregon/Sweet-Home-board-approves-long-range-facility-planning-hires-GLAS-Architects-with-80000-in-grant-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6655545-d6b693e53576a625ecb47b9e2136783a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440119&Signature=e7MkPPFKtFdswUhz0pQULc0uaOvVy8wiqDJA1v12rkwvEm87r0Q71NgL55o3d-7y2dM~D~NlUKEbezR2e7HzO9tAT1uo3-vCs-liM1zaTJ-OVqwpT1h0WeJf6UiOvzMBVuYJYpWidhnZiIlQkK7oLgYcNzcYzSxNVsqIJk3ryTJpr7ZixMFIxz7V3sPQvEUDK9uOqu2jo9V0GXvI6bwvhiZndaDFFwZDNQeTQAJXURcreSxE8Vvmks9kE~bWUFx2aGFhnh~-1i~2mRS8LfPHgeyT46smLFhG5k7kJQNFhQBxXXlKInkrThOHnPikD2jwsiEPk8PAzyp4AyEfNugCrg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sweet Home School District board approved a plan to update the district's long-range facility plan, authorized a community planning committee that may include up to four board members, and hired GLAS Architects to conduct a comprehensive facility assessment using two grants totaling $80,000.

District staff told the board that over the past decade the district had made significant facility improvements while its overall tax rate decreased, and that the district now wants to begin planning for the next 10 years to position facilities for the next 75 years. The district plans community forums, evening meetings, and school tours; board members may serve on the planning committee but membership will be limited to avoid creating a quorum.

Kevin (staff member) said the district received two grants totaling $80,000 to update the districtwide facility assessment and to support the long-range facility plan. He told the board that five architecture firms responded to the district's request for proposals and that GLAS Architects of Eugene scored highest in the review; the board voted to hire GLAS to complete the assessment and assist with the long-range plan. Kevin also noted that completing a long-range facility plan is a requirement to apply for an Oregon school capital matching grant; having the plan would make the district eligible for state assistance that could exceed $12 million if the board later pursues a bond measure.

Board members asked about the scope, timing and whether surveys and tours were included; staff said the $80,000 grant will cover the assessment so long as the scope is not expanded. Several trustees volunteered to serve on the planning committee; the district will also invite community members, staff and students to participate.

The motion to hire GLAS Architects passed by voice vote. The approved work begins the district's formal process of updating its facilities assessment, scoping projects, and positioning the district for possible future capital funding.","The district authorized a community-inclusive long-range facility planning process, created a planning committee and approved hiring GLAS Architects to complete a comprehensive facility assessment funded by two grants totaling $80,000; the plan would enable eligibility for state matching funds for future capital measures.",{"_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},6655549,"Sweet Home board certifies election, swears in new members and elects officers",480,1133000,1613000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5386774-16780c24fb469f90bd0dba8b63effef9&start=1133&end=1613","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5386774-16780c24fb469f90bd0dba8b63effef9/thumbnail_1133000.jpg","/articles/6655549/Oregon/Sweet-Home-board-certifies-election-swears-in-new-members-and-elects-officers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6655549-d75517294d26ed799595387d89c5663f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440119&Signature=F1E00HKKkhO6MmZNYRo4TxN~6OmZlFGVRr3Sy9Pc0z-Jd0~97ZxjBcVMt8PnpyGEBUU8Dllv68bx7pQT32F41pQj7JmQV~66HycboCjrpxdiN7bGNWmWjxEOI1OKlInFgTO8HppRm3UpFDcs9lBpntiCYBfGYrQh11trzshwh7JXsgqS6xHArVpUxH6gQ90AmmJUIJzdjChVEB4aiS-InZ6J~Y5eu98g3ZSkC7Om7MVgYlBi6E6lmeZkpD2npV8dDcj9HQN8JrMSFvnlC3u0RoDSg0RNhLq4o7NLN~1hEuhoQweGmdaQfuJzM1WPE-X8TrAsv8hJcuTjounfx7zm1g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Well, it's 06:30 July 14, and I'll call the meeting to order, and we can start with the pledge of allegiance.

The Sweet Home School District board formally accepted the recent school election results, administered oaths of office to newly elected board members and elected officers during its July 14 organizational meeting.

The board voted to certify the May election results and then had the longest-serving member administer the oath of office to newly elected trustees. After the swearing-in the board held its annual officer elections. Floyd Neuschwander was elected board chair in a contested vote (4–3). Michael Adams was chosen as vice chair and Mary was confirmed as secretary by voice vote.

Board members moved to accept the election results before proceeding with the swearing-in. The board then completed the oath for the new members, with the presiding board member asking each to repeat the standard pledge to support the U.S. and state constitutions and to faithfully discharge the duties of the office. Following the oath, members nominated and voted on board officers. The chair vote required a roll-call-style count after competing nominations; the result was announced as 4–3 in favor of Neuschwander.

The board also amended and approved the meeting agenda early in the session so the swearing-in could occur before other organizational business. That agenda change and the certification of election results were approved by voice vote.

The organizational actions completed at the meeting set officer roles and confirmed the district's leadership for the coming year. No changes to the board's standing committees were finalized at the meeting.

A vote summary of the meeting's organizational items appears in the meeting record.","At its July 14 organizational meeting the Sweet Home School District board accepted election results, administered oaths to newly elected members and elected board officers; the chair vote was contested and decided by a 4-3 roll call.","actionData","errors"]
