Staff reported that in 2024–25 the district paid a commercial vendor (Iterity, identified in the materials) roughly $264,000 for device repairs and replacement — approximately double what the district paid when it used the Clackamas ESD repair program. The presentation included year‑to‑year figures showing a widening gap between fees assessed to families for device damage and the amounts actually collected: for the 2022–23 year staff reported about $27,000 assessed and $9,707 collected (a roughly $18,000 gap) and for the most recent year about $58,780 assessed and $11,602 collected (a roughly $47,000 gap). Staff noted most damage incidents occur at middle school grade levels.

To address the trend, staff proposed several options for board consideration: pursuing a shared repair technician with neighboring districts or a part‑time/on‑site tech to reduce vendor costs; piloting self‑repair capacity; implementing a security deposit (staff cited a possible range of about one quarter to one third of device cost, roughly $100–$125, refundable subject to wear‑and‑tear rules); retaining an annual device protection fee (district increased the optional fee from $25 to $40 last year and staff estimated that a modest rise to $50 might be part of a blended approach); or making damage fees mandatory and enforceable through the district’s student accounting/registration system (for example, restricting participation in optional extracurricular activities until fees are paid). Under Oregon law staff noted the district cannot make device issuance itself conditional on payment because devices are part of core curriculum/access to FAPE, but Oregon statutes allow a refundable security deposit and require waivers or reductions for eligible families.

Staff estimated a full‑time technician (compensation plus benefits) would cost roughly $150,000 per year, with parts potentially roughly half the labor cost, and said parts (like screens or motherboards) can run hundreds of dollars per repair. Staff said shared staffing with another district could make an in‑house position financially viable. They also noted administrative and space requirements for an internal repair operation and that the district’s inventory will include many devices entering the 4–5 year range, which typically show higher repair rates and costs.

Board members asked clarifying questions about how mandatory damage fees and security deposits would interact with existing waivers and the district’s newly integrated student accounting system (Destiny). Staff reported that families who qualify for fee waivers would also be eligible for deposit waivers as required by state statute. Staff told the board they plan to return with a formal recommendation at the board’s meeting on the 25th (staff phrased this as the \"25th\") that could include a blended approach of deposits, modest fee changes, and enforcement mechanisms.

No final policy was adopted at this meeting; the board asked staff to further analyze cost comparisons, partnership options for shared repair staff, and equity impacts of deposit and mandatory fee options before the formal recommendation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lake Oswego SD 7J - School Board Mtg. - Aug 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff told the board the district paid approximately $264,000 to a commercial repair vendor in 2024–25 and presented options to address rising device repair and replacement costs.","taxTitle","Lake Oswego SD 7J, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",65682,"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},6587676,"Superintendent announces Legacy School Bond 2025 on ballot; district discusses tax‑exemption request from housing partner",822,298000,1120000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5562748-918e5f4ef3c7c75bf680e411b27d78c0&start=298&end=1120","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5562748-918e5f4ef3c7c75bf680e411b27d78c0/thumbnail_298000.jpg","/articles/6587676/Oregon/Superintendent-announces-Legacy-School-Bond-2025-on-ballot-district-discusses-taxexemption-request-from-housing-partner","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6587676-884d177aafa1f5f7687457145fce9dac/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136871&Signature=ChyVvYDwetQguoPlkop3nt-CzOiecvbGmO6uY2W4lZ5s-2q6YaMt~SIblNGIrDmpr1mWb7yoG-4FCzGaqGvJo88TW5zU3r0eCATSqmCyjgE6qED~9mtxvf8uz~bgbd2LgmXhuSUudZPdKkRuW1SPG88Qn6CJE8UlG00ft4D~pbQbKea8RI~To0UDF75XVy~N8mIM93GPfbfk7cjwQCmCZsA3LVElxWuM7g6EqzpqzNahDpRnKrm10sWcW2j5dZ-MyefPZBksN6Lk7cC3LQo21MdbN0-geF3ZPgSjY8Zhbn8iThZd1xIpoOKbmm7Wu-4BeHTArs7g~2Yr6uRePpS3pg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dr. Shealy, superintendent of Lake Oswego School District 7J, told the board that the Legacy School Bond 2025 will appear on the November ballot as Measure 3628 and said the bond is intended to complete the district's three‑part program to replace and modernize older school facilities.

Dr. Shealy said a $245,000,000 bond is projected to preserve the district’s current estimated bond tax rate (\"no increase in the bond tax rate,\" she said) while funding health, safety and security improvements, facility preservation and upgrades, and the replacement of the district’s two oldest elementary schools, Forest Hills and Lake Grove, on their current sites. She said the bond would also fund expanded learning spaces, including STEM/CTE classrooms at both high school campuses and a remodeled community transition program facility. She added that bond funds are restricted to voter‑approved projects and will be subject to a citizen‑led bond accountability committee, regular audits and quarterly expenditure reports.

Dr. Shealy also provided two legislative updates. She referenced an executive order on personal electronic devices and an education accountability bill (referred to in the meeting as Bill 141) that will change state reporting requirements: some metrics the district formerly reported monthly will now be required fewer times per year, while new metrics — including kindergarten through second‑grade attendance and an eighth‑grade math metric — will be added. She said the state will select a local metric in January and that the district will then choose which assessment to use from state options.

On a separate item, Dr. Shealy reported a recent meeting with a housing partner that is seeking a tax exemption (the transcript names the representative as Mercy Greenberg and later refers to Hacienda in the discussion). Shealy said district staff, principals from Hallinan, Lake Grove and the high school, and central office staff met with the organization to review the partnership and the program the organization provides in district schools. She told the board the district described concerns about staffing turnover and gaps in promised services, and that the housing partner acknowledged issues and committed to more regular communication. When asked about fiscal impact, Shealy said the rough immediate impact to the district’s tax revenue would be about $520,000 and estimated the housing partner’s avoided tax payment would be about $100,000; she stressed those figures were presented as ballpark estimates in the meeting.

Shealy said the district is not recommending immediate approval of a tax exemption and that staff will continue working with the partner to clarify commitments. She also said bond and program information will be posted on the district website and regularly updated.","Superintendent Dr. Shealy told the board the Legacy School Bond 2025 (Measure 3628) will be on the November ballot and described bond uses and oversight.

The board approved the change order by voice vote after staff described the work and the total cost.

District staff described the change order as covering a series of adjustments discovered during recent summer construction work, including over‑excavation on site work, framing changes, landscaping and fencing revisions, and added lighting and communications circuits. “This change order is a result of numerous smaller, some larger changes throughout past couple of months that we've encountered throughout, summer construction,” a district staff member said, adding that the total requested is $212,275.

Director Wallen moved to authorize the clerk or deputy clerk to approve the change order; Director Bills seconded the motion. The board voted by voice; the chair called for ayes and then announced the motion carried. No opposition was recorded in the meeting transcript.

The board concluded the contract review board portion of the meeting and moved immediately into the regular school board session. The contract change order was taken up at the meeting's start and finalized before the regular session began.

The transcript does not specify an ordinance, contract number, or the precise school site name beyond the project reference presented by staff.
