The board voted to adopt six recognition resolutions honoring student representatives Britney Granados (TTVA), Evelyn Agosto Jeronimo (Tigard High School), Nathan Tran (Tigard High School), Mas Weigel (Tigard High School), Jamie Hartman (Tualatin High School) and Skye Roe (Tualatin High School). Chair Urban called for a voice vote after board members offered remarks of thanks, and the chair said “motion carries.” The resolutions will be added to the district record as Resolution 24‑25‑14 through 24‑25‑19.

Board members repeatedly praised the outgoing student representatives for bringing school‑level perspective to board deliberations and for their preparation and leadership. Several board members described how student reps asked questions the board had not considered and noted the value of having student voices at the table.

The board’s selection committee (Vice Chair Jaimez and Director Weston) reported the new student representatives for next year. From Tigard High School the committee selected Edie Keenan and Moss (full name not specified on record); from Tualatin High School the committee selected Sarah Masalmi and Ryland Baker. Vice Chair Jaimez and Director Weston said the committee interviewed a large pool of applicants and noted some no‑shows during the interview schedule; the committee encouraged future applicants including from TTVA and Creekside.

The board took the recognition vote and then invited the outgoing student representatives to come forward for a photo. No policy changes resulted from the recognitions; the resolutions are ceremonial and will be included in meeting records.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","05/19/2025 Regular Meeting of the TTSD School Board","oneSentenceSummary","The Tigard‑Tualatin School District board approved resolutions recognizing outgoing student representatives and announced appointments of new student representatives for the next school year.","taxTitle","Tigard-Tualatin SD 23J, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",14583,"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},6160942,"Tigard High thespians showcase awards, state advocacy and new CTE technical‑theater program",501,136000,637000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5446410-df13045d3d14b8766942815927a31eb9&start=136&end=637","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5446410-df13045d3d14b8766942815927a31eb9/thumbnail_136000.jpg","/articles/6160942/Oregon/Tigard-High-thespians-showcase-awards-state-advocacy-and-new-CTE-technicaltheater-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6160942-e90f953c5531587e222f12b90b6d8bb2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771177645&Signature=bqdppb-WiP3WY1JFyrdAsmBlJTSGniKk0lmTnMTFcFtx9rH5e7QdlYZqa2f7vacmcHrVVJNUHPErGADOVHiwvZrZKzRNn9KeUu7728RiWgrBpThZUPqM8byN0uzdjwjDrEr4yBBAVtgZhL3hl5P8hXSK2bx-Kn5BTSrQaaejFMQnIIhA9oMKTDOZN-pckGhgkjRcqoHRZ26VleVJe3zz4cSJIpwcEk~RlE3tDd9vyzfT3ixemlnVmeET53W4Fo05mgW~0FpSLzch0azGA0j4feSw74yM13aEwQ-Zcr~QobLuIOt-sr54JLKNk3d5~pptig-CB4FARrqb5ovKm0qhIA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tigard High School theater director Tori Scholes and student thespian leaders described a year of productions, awards and community outreach and previewed an international festival appearance and an inaugural CTE technical‑theater pathway.

The presentation matters because it highlights student achievement, extracurricular learning that builds technical and soft skills, and the district’s new Career and Technical Education (CTE) offering in technical theater and recording production — a program the director said the district hopes to grow.

Scholes introduced Thespian Society student leader Asher Bohn, who explained that the International Thespian Society is an honor society requiring troops to meet standards of quality. Student speakers listed three mainstage productions this year — Night of the Living Dead, She Loves Me and Alice in Wonderland — and said the troop won first place in the Oregon Thespians Tech Challenge for the fourth consecutive year. Students also qualified in multiple categories for international competition, including a chapter‑select one‑act, makeup design and solo musical performance. Scholes described outreach including pancake breakfasts, community movie nights, a princess tea party, yard‑work fundraisers and support for Metzger Park’s Easter egg hunt.

Scholes said students met state Representative Ben Bowman at the state conference to advocate for arts education and that the troop invited representatives from the Oregon School for the Deaf and Chemawa Indian School to improve accessibility and inclusion. She also described plans to attend an international festival in Bloomington, Indiana, where students will take intensive workshops from industry professionals and Broadway‑connected creators.

Student leaders described the social and developmental benefits of theater participation and thanked staff and the board. The director noted the district’s first year of a CTE technical‑theater and recording production pathway and asked the board to consider making videos and materials available on the district website to publicize opportunities.

The presentation was given during the recognition and good‑news portion of the meeting and required no board action.","Tigard High School theater director and student leaders presented recent productions, competitive awards, community outreach and an inaugural CTE technical theater and recording production pathway; students plan to attend an international festival in Bloomington, Indiana.",{"_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},6160948,"Former music educator urges board not to cut Fowler sixth‑grade band and choir",128,2748000,2876000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5446410-df13045d3d14b8766942815927a31eb9&start=2748&end=2876","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5446410-df13045d3d14b8766942815927a31eb9/thumbnail_2748000.jpg","/articles/6160948/Oregon/Former-music-educator-urges-board-not-to-cut-Fowler-sixthgrade-band-and-choir","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6160948-607f25e80681024480cf0c7aba8b9a46/orig.mp4?Expires=1771177645&Signature=VGuyfsvJb0i5RlAISRZhKTV4fduXK-kN89rq9CFS9OGe-tSXKTvCJ-mRGk41s1-MWAV9WRRzgiN0ok1DVuSpwcnOVzVIsfUoJiCNCHvqwkDZisZ97~iplR9XyHZyCrOyDo-E8tl5eMgJEJ4Jz7VjeTq1Zog9m7eDZRmV~zrSXUWfR1wKLGAkU3e-6RUbhZkR8taiWfG2FIrh85MhieeP~YGLRirb0XCx0WsNu-Wf6Xnt4I-DLzYfPwNA1v82-iytyCjnmA-FTgTVihP0Fb4mQG3zh8kuaok-TGeP0HOMNHlixYuXG8due92GtCCknFDGGoifIYULRJbT9ERJ8ptzoQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jeremy Zander, a Beaverton‑area music educator and past president of the Oregon Music Education Association, urged the Tigard‑Tualatin School District board during public comment not to eliminate proposed sixth‑grade band and choir offerings at Fowler Middle School.

Zander told the board he supported the district’s bond measure and then focused his remarks on program cuts. He said research shows music education supports academic performance, attendance and student engagement, but asked the board to consider the pragmatic cost implications of cutting music. He said that in his experience \"when I taught at Fowler from 2007 to 02/2010, my band classes regularly had over 50 students,\" noting his smallest class was 40 and his largest 78. He warned that removing large, accessible music classes could require the district to create multiple new sections elsewhere and hire additional staff, potentially increasing costs rather than reducing them.

Zander identified himself at the lectern as a former Fowler and Tigard High School band student, a former Fowler band director and a music educator with 20 years of experience. He asked the board not to make decisions that would take opportunities away from students, citing confidence, community and purpose gained through music participation.

Chair Urban thanked Zander after his remarks; no board action followed from the public comment period. The district will continue budget deliberations in upcoming meetings where staffing and program decisions will be refined.","A former Fowler Middle School band director and state music‑education leader told the board proposed sixth‑grade music cuts would harm students and could raise costs elsewhere, urging the district to preserve sequential K‑12 music offerings.",{"_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},6160952,"School board approves 24‑25 appropriation transfers, moves $85,000 to special revenue fund",241,3837000,4078000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5446410-df13045d3d14b8766942815927a31eb9&start=3837&end=4078","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5446410-df13045d3d14b8766942815927a31eb9/thumbnail_3837000.jpg","/articles/6160952/Oregon/School-board-approves-2425-appropriation-transfers-moves-85000-to-special-revenue-fund","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6160952-2cc7d5a357428602c96ff2e5c4251a51/orig.mp4?Expires=1771177645&Signature=X0V4DJgrOG3jeK9~ON4BYEIlpQTdf2jZmwnosjG5I-eyL6dICaDB649j~lHn3Z-WGcrI3RIHBECQV5ZmlZ1dr6~15ZqnPjtCLoxAzgh3kbNBXpaJSVTAmObNSuZrv~~ttwyO7kpsUwMnFDfYSSMY2l5TJH6Mtnt4Ccu~2-aGbNFdGXY6-54XDHZErYg0tjNa1cfsz7k1bGXrtqskrScCiCwokqr1mX-cFr-OokdF7wnz0mg5hxXREsJ4G7Zi0yvgYMIIwK0AMnti9yHfEm1kVnqLLMQ0NPKD-p1NEYBUpc1BKDi4SngbVPJ7g58MyLt82NUgGcspTTqWwRMyUMV7eA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tigard‑Tualatin School District Board of Directors approved two appropriation transfer resolutions related to the 2024‑25 budget, moving $1,035,000 within the general fund and transferring $85,000 into the district’s special revenue fund to account for payroll‑related costs associated with a state stipend for special‑education staff.

Board action matters because the transfers reconcile year‑end accounts and align staffing costs with the district’s accounting after federal pandemic funds (ESSER) and new state stipends changed how some positions were coded. Without the transfers, the district would not have budget authority in the correct fund to pay payroll‑related costs tied to the stipend program.

Director C presented the resolutions and explained the purpose: the first transfer (resolution 24‑25‑20) reconciles year‑end general‑fund coding and moves $1,035,000 (with $85,000 earmarked to transfer to the special revenue fund). The second resolution (24‑25‑21) recognizes the $85,000 transfer into the special revenue fund so the district can match state stipend dollars that did not cover payroll benefits. During discussion board members clarified that the stipend legislation covered the course stipend but not payroll‑related benefits, requiring the district match and a fund transfer.

The board amended a prior motion to ensure members voted on the correct resolution numbers after a paperwork/page error was identified. Both resolutions were approved by voice vote with the chair calling for a quorum vote; the chair stated “motion carries” after members responded in the affirmative.

The transfers are administrative budget housekeeping tied to 2024‑25 appropriations and do not represent new program authorizations. The district noted the transfers reconcile coding for employees who were moved from ESSER‑funded positions into the general fund earlier in the year.

Board members did not request additional material changes to the resolutions; the items were adopted and will be reflected in the district’s 24‑25 financial records.","The Tigard‑Tualatin School District board approved two year‑end appropriation transfer resolutions for the 2024‑25 budget, including a $1,035,000 general‑fund transfer and an $85,000 transfer into the special revenue fund tied to special‑education stipend legislation.","actionData","errors"]
