The consent agenda was moved and seconded and passed 4-0. The board adopted the 2025-26 board calendar by a 4-0 vote. The board also approved a resolution continuing existing professional services: an external audit firm (Polly Rogers/firm listed in packet), PACE (Property and Casualty in Education) for property/liability coverage, State Accident Insurance Fund for workers' compensation, Wilson Hergood Associates as insurance broker, Sherman Sherman (general counsel) and Hungerford Law Firm for employment and special education matters.

The board designated the legally elected chair (Byron Schinkel) and vice chair (Susan Graham) as authorized signatories and reconfirmed district administrators as additional authorized signatories. The board likewise approved district banking relationships with Umpqua Bank, US Bank and the Oregon State Treasury investment pool, and confirmed trust and corporate trust arrangements for bond servicing.

During the meeting the business officer raised the annual fidelity/financial-fraud insurance coverage question. The district currently carries $500,000 of coverage with an annual premium of about $4,018; staff presented optional increases (to $750,000 for an incremental premium, or to $1 million with a higher deductible) and recommended consideration, but the board did not change coverage at the meeting.

All votes on the listed administrative items were recorded as unanimous (4-0).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CSD 13J Board of Directors Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Central SD 13J board unanimously approved the consent agenda, the 2025-26 board calendar and routine administrative designations including auditors, insurers, attorneys and financial institutions.","taxTitle","Central SD 13J, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",51019,"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},6518652,"Withheld federal Title funds threaten district's before- and after-school programs and professional learning",240,3701005,3941055,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5386767-4bee17e630285310346106c6ec18315b&start=3701&end=3941","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5386767-4bee17e630285310346106c6ec18315b/thumbnail_3701005.jpg","/articles/6518652/Oregon/Withheld-federal-Title-funds-threaten-districts-before-and-after-school-programs-and-professional-learning","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6518652-8b87bf82d1891bcd7d959502bf27b286/orig.mp4?Expires=1770642369&Signature=O45HDp7YOUl2OAPKhIVT2yfsyJ1txuNRpaGcQlGOLprYHHkDlpkZwRmfd4gq7F4TpnXjj6DWM-KyBPZvAs4KS2sD9cXIyxgEZ7HTWQ9DrXNz4JrDL2Ma-o6Cjz64Eh2Qged6mlKgTZ6IxMxWv4lIt2cj3rdQnzQiJT6bYVIi-V6MjtSsNAYS~TnbtgBONQgLBRaRn3KhFzPEc-zZI-VwbLdd73wsXxO1tk7MEbfe4VZkzZugo1uRtQ8c4NZGkGMy~BrfRoVDM1gTejba68ZTZVTLb5sz9B-Ubuf6kbjkWM1x14ZS~r8QFkIyLDE62rVrIWiiZ4gLtXjJuKZYAFHlLw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Central School District 13J officials told the board they learned on June 30 that the U.S. Department of Education is withholding current allocations of Title II, Title III and Title IV funds from states while the department reviews the programs. The district said it may have until Sept. 30, 2025, to receive final allocations but that no Title II/III/IV dollars are available now for the 2025-26 school year.

District staff explained how those funds are used locally and the potential impacts if the funding does not arrive: Title II-A supports professional learning and time for staff collaboration; Title III-A funds services for multilingual learners; Title IV-A has supported middle- and high-school clubs, tutoring and expanded learning; and Title IV-B funds before- and after-school programs and family engagement. The district said the combined impact of the withheld funds totals \"a little under $1 million,\" with before- and after-school programming alone representing roughly $450,000 of that amount.

As a consequence, staff said the district will not offer before- and after-school programming for 2025-26 unless allocations are restored; some tutoring and expanded-learning activities are at risk. District leaders reported they had budgeted conservatively and used carryover where possible, but they warned that gaps remain and that district leaders and board members are engaging federal representatives and preparing advocacy letters.

Board members discussed the programmatic risks and asked for more precise dollar figures when they are available. Staff said they will continue advocacy with federal offices and keep the board and public updated if allocations change before the school year begins. The district emphasized the hardship this causes for families in a community with limited childcare options and a high share of working parents.","Central SD 13J reported the U.S. Department of Education has withheld Title II, III and IV allocations pending federal decisions, leaving the district without expected funds for the 2025-26 school year and putting before- and after-school programming at risk.",{"_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},6518656,"District to draft personal electronic device policy after governor's executive order; board to consider draft in August",367,3256645,3624635,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5386767-4bee17e630285310346106c6ec18315b&start=3256&end=3624","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5386767-4bee17e630285310346106c6ec18315b/thumbnail_3256645.jpg","/articles/6518656/Oregon/District-to-draft-personal-electronic-device-policy-after-governors-executive-order-board-to-consider-draft-in-August","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6518656-e82d07904577e95e91114fde428b7302/orig.mp4?Expires=1770642369&Signature=aMwG8j9qXaHpPhfegeNHYv35uK4p~JXnS77ZYRPHL2r1TSl223SxkRz3xE9P-4x9j2iI9kjsR1q1lKFJMTNvmVQiX1JLP~qSFsMSJiFTPezgrdvBH5TyHXwY8Pt-uH~P0yd2oXN6WXmGZdzNtDPaQxLdJoeY7ejmIHNcObfQQk7zKOtlAe2zDxu8jYBuDUsUg6mGy1YIney1s54eALPAu3rOw78qu4Kxq7cvVrZHkggqgET-ydofMxSDs7jpj2apkVZyWGk6tYi9j~twg6tLPEEOFrlu~BnR~o2Ss1jgtS0l75Ik670P6w8uPiqQkIuv9kBfoO2ZlEDsGUJPl1OS7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Central School District 13J announced it will develop a personal electronic device policy in response to a governor's executive order, and district staff outlined a timeline for community input and board review.

Superintendent (presenter) and staff told the board the executive order requires local school boards to adopt policies no later than Oct. 31 and to have operational procedures in place by Jan. 1. The district plans to gather feedback from administrators in August, meet with union leadership, solicit community input via a Google form, and gather direct feedback from students. Staff said they expect to present a first draft to the board in August, a second reading in September and a final board action in October; the district noted it may bring a draft earlier to a workshop if ready.

The presentation reviewed key policy components outlined in ODE materials, including permitted use cases, storage expectations, posting requirements for families and students, and responses for noncompliance. Staff emphasized the policy is mandatory under the executive order and that the board must adopt a local policy in the stated timeline. The district said it will wait for additional guidance from the Oregon School Board Association and the Oregon Department of Education when finalizing administrative rules.

Staff committed to returning to each board meeting with updates and to include translated outreach materials and student-focused feedback. The board asked district staff to prioritize opportunities for community comment and to clarify adult/staff guidance in the draft, as the executive order and state guidance were described as focusing primarily on student device use.","Central SD 13J will develop a personal electronic device policy to comply with a governor-issued executive order; the board expects a draft by August and final action no later than October.",{"_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},6518661,"Central SD 13J unveils one-page strategic scorecard; preliminary metrics show gains and gaps",2061,457425,2519105,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5386767-4bee17e630285310346106c6ec18315b&start=457&end=2519","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5386767-4bee17e630285310346106c6ec18315b/thumbnail_457425.jpg","/articles/6518661/Oregon/Central-SD-13J-unveils-one-page-strategic-scorecard-preliminary-metrics-show-gains-and-gaps","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6518661-b5f64d3777b08c24a2bf42daf9b8dcd5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770642369&Signature=iSRa3NHgse6nttKOI4tRxT5lNjddF1hSuUJ8ITcevZLx1ZhFJC7V04AX0EsQwcxuTtnZdcPv3LIVYhBB-zPx-0gCatYFkGLa53MWEJ-MWAbNRwDwxV-WC6JoMjzwMvWCpFom29Bl6KGFUBMzltrwzOfotwgusHqpdQbr-usgaiUO9y2A8e3aP1HkwYY~lZh48rLQ0P3F-1NIrnbw1YK8tt2OWvxjmG3XU9iP~jaqLzkmZijZYtD9AUWwrSxCGxP4jOXye68GyUqKO84LmE64HJK7AIvmYGii5lFCdvzbZ4z3H8DpYJxYIREpnTGqXCdBacKS4MpS-I8urJan~CG75A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Central School District 13J presented a new one-page strategic plan scorecard and preliminary performance data for 2024-25 during a regular board meeting, showing progress on some indicators and continued gaps on others.

Executive director of teaching and learning Julie Heilman described the scorecard as a condensed tool to communicate four strategic goals, associated vision statements and the metrics used to measure progress. The presentation covered regular attendance, discipline incidents (suspensions/expulsions), spring universal screener results for reading and math for multiple cohorts, and ninth-grade on-track status.

Preliminary districtwide regular attendance for 2024-25 was reported at 62%, which the presentation said met the Oregon Department of Education's state target of 60% for that reporting period. The district's aspirational goal remains higher (the district set an aspirational target of 85% in prior planning). Attendance for students with disabilities was reported at 58.8% (a three-year, two-percentage-point decline noted in the presentation). Economically disadvantaged students were reported at 57.3% (a two-point decline year-over-year). District leaders emphasized targeted supports, including an attendance postcard/text-notification strategy launched in March 2025 and continued use of PowerSchool and ParentSquare to reach families.

On discipline, the district reported 665 incidents of suspension or expulsion in the most recent reporting period (the presenters clarified the total counts incidents, not unique students). Overall incidents decreased from the prior year but remained slightly higher than 2021-22 levels; male suspension rates remained flat over two years but are higher than the 2021-22 baseline, the presentation said. The district has set separate discipline goals for all students and for male students to address disproportionality.

Third-grade reading and math universal screener results showed mixed outcomes: reading growth was strong across grades since kindergarten but was flat from winter to spring for the third-grade cohort. Math results showed modest decreases in some cohorts; district staff said a new math curriculum will be implemented starting this school year, with training for K-10 staff beginning in August and a phased high-school rollout.

District leaders compared local fastBridge universal screener means to national means: for one cohort the district average was 205 in math versus a reported national mean of 210; for a sixth-grade cohort the district average was 523 versus a national mean of 528. Presenters cautioned that cohort comparisons and small subgroup sizes (for special education, emergent bilinguals) can cause notable percentage swings.

Ninth-grade on-track results declined from the previous year for all students and for emergent bilingual students; district staff noted the state baseline target was 78% and said the district did not meet that baseline this year. Presenters highlighted ongoing interventions including credit recovery, earlier exposure to career and technical education (CTE) and advisory lessons on credits.

Board members and staff emphasized professional learning communities (PLCs), targeted interventions and community partnerships (including tutoring and mentoring) as central strategies to close gaps. The scorecard and related materials will be shared with families and translated for broader access, the district said.

Board members thanked staff for the condensed scorecard and asked that it be distributed in families' primary languages and posted on district channels.","District leaders presented a new one-page strategic plan scorecard and preliminary 2024-25 metrics on attendance, discipline, reading and math, and ninth-grade on-track status, with mixed results across focal groups.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6518666,"Central SD 13J elects Byron Schinkel chair, Susan Graham vice chair; new members sworn in",352,19075,372000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5386767-4bee17e630285310346106c6ec18315b&start=19&end=372","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5386767-4bee17e630285310346106c6ec18315b/thumbnail_19075.jpg","/articles/6518666/Oregon/Central-SD-13J-elects-Byron-Schinkel-chair-Susan-Graham-vice-chair-new-members-sworn-in","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6518666-b9fe7bbee7685e627f44956f64485241/orig.mp4?Expires=1770642369&Signature=SBLAy4BiPSToNLJ2AKhe7OJjEsmBEb4M7CqItqPFggvRg6lNLFVXfhoIqU6dwQ7ZqJB0Ksqz5RHGTTsySBv~LR8tQiycRaoaFwAZ6ZOWK9I2Zr7KywPVQN2Fo8Nl24xAwVauL6jE1GcwA5N2K0YmfEUt1CDnh2sa7167DnzhcswVaPyEjFGlmvhIAiegUKF3aEzT0zYSY7TOLMn91tyt1SE9WWAFTbY6LGnPdmDklwRZYRTrtLlU7UjGAjmbB3picdrScLnHiaSezA6kuYvXGG5wuUvuSifKI2ooZIMRuWzwCUO1xyVRcuzoMDb0TVNZU0fe9Z-4GBeMoSJ1mL119Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Central School District 13J sworn in newly elected board members and unanimously elected its leadership during a regular board meeting.

The board used an open-nomination process at the meeting. A nomination for Schinkel drew no recorded opposition; the vote was taken by raised hands and recorded as unanimous. Susan Graham was nominated and seconded for vice chair and also elected unanimously.

Board members confirmed the leadership selections before moving on to standing reports and business items. The board briefly thanked the newly elected leaders and noted the procedural steps for future meetings, including election of officers at the start of the 25-26 school year.

The meeting also included a public oath for at least one newly elected director; board members remarked that a family photo opportunity would follow for the newly sworn member.","At a regular board meeting, Central School District 13J completed swearing-in of newly elected members and unanimously elected Byron Schinkel as board chair and Susan Graham as vice chair.","actionData","errors"]
