District staff cited \"O RS329711\" (as read on the record) as providing definitions related to the committee’s role. Staff described the proposed regional committee as advisory: it will convene representatives from participating districts, review data, and advise local boards and superintendents on decisions that could disproportionately affect particular student groups.

One board member asked what specific commitments membership would require and whether the committee equates to DEI work; staff responded the regional model reduces workload for very small districts by consolidating resources and that the committee’s role is to provide an additional set of eyes on decisions and flag possible negative impacts for identified student groups.

A board member moved to approve participation in the South Coast ESD regional equity and belonging committee; the motion passed by voice vote with one board member recorded as opposed in the meeting record.

Staff said the regional committee will meet and provide advisory recommendations to the board and superintendent; any formal policy changes would remain the responsibility of the local board.","The North Bend SD 13 board voted to participate in a regional equity committee coordinated by South Coast ESD, citing state statute definitions and noting the committee will be advisory.",{"_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},6488650,"Board raises questions over personal electronic-device policy; schedules work session review",231,1565000,1796000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782656-b0450ecf7a68fd5ec93114cc82de5877&start=1565&end=1796","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782656-b0450ecf7a68fd5ec93114cc82de5877/thumbnail_1565000.jpg","/articles/6488650/Oregon/Board-raises-questions-over-personal-electronic-device-policy-schedules-work-session-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6488650-fccd6303ce7962d9232c852ee9904a1d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770630237&Signature=CiplcBLNUxbDodN~veTm61Wyl6MK~PBMWlr-9V6kJ-EhUeCXNY69E80DuPIOq-P2Wr3kLy4N435DIkg~Bj22Ibo4sgzjvTnuwsuKODhGkpwPEyLJ80lzS0XRoAqMSqchtgJ6JitN-MG27BzqqRkJ6rpVaQnZIA85rkDCBZAXi4Kq4cFWmsYmZn7HqUhvqcYEi-W3riNI563-UspXjZiYkI4eTi0PA7QOEmpXtRojUhN9wFUie9JllJPQI8X02TMTgUpgRAr8kedNRW8pBF3AADDYiNDKjJICMrJ4ukHy9zUVw3adTCaVmQKtvY8assi8uY1pinjLQiUqbNcYN66PdQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the Sept. 4 meeting, board members and staff discussed the first-read personal electronic-device policy, expressing concern that the draft was unclear on how rules should be applied at the high-school level, particularly in relation to open campus and lunchtime use.

One board member noted conflicting communications and said the policy language needed clearer alignment with current practice: whether devices are allowed on campus generally, permitted only off campus, or permitted at specific times such as lunch. Staff and other board members agreed there was a discrepancy between the policy as drafted and how some high-school rules appeared to be applied in practice, and asked the administration to reconcile the differences.

The board directed staff to revise the first-read policy and return to a work session on Sept. 18 for further discussion. Board members proposed that, if an acceptable revision were completed, the policy could be scheduled for a second read and adoption at the next regular meeting with a target adoption date by Oct. 31; if not, the board said it would pull the item from the consent calendar for further deliberation.

Board members emphasized they would invite staff affected by the policy — including building administrators and high-school staff — to participate in the Sept. 18 work session so the board could assess how proposed policy language would work in practice.","Board members and staff raised concerns about clarity and inconsistent practice in the draft personal electronic-device policy for high school students; the board asked staff to bring a revised first-read policy to a Sept. 18 work session and aimed for a potential October adoption timeline.",{"_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},6488655,"North Bend SD 13 reviews integrated-programs annual report; no board action required",176,1321000,1497000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782656-b0450ecf7a68fd5ec93114cc82de5877&start=1321&end=1497","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782656-b0450ecf7a68fd5ec93114cc82de5877/thumbnail_1321000.jpg","/articles/6488655/Oregon/North-Bend-SD-13-reviews-integrated-programs-annual-report-no-board-action-required","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6488655-46076d3177c991dbf524d1c51df480d5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770630237&Signature=nvjh8rsk2boLBVSLtGbcrJ0j0k8GIMGRZ1P~ju84at78Qtukg8yW4AUGGUAr6i3~gTO2kwlt-eJE0enxd4kciWKXpnfgGhme5B69GOEed2KOaQD4otWkBd5caHyG6NcOg-Cx-MaXGbuMe~k4o48-xvgHDNs2YMwYgor6CuydRl40dr5tknFeDwfx~YI-w0Ajg2CaOZpMYFDJfEFZI-zMR1iLme5RmzZuj-2JeN~ZNXWCv9ZfFDAEpnvgjVx9gqm-bkA8VrfdGPvrzAXy8pnAic4AEy61yCEvk0~jozWpM9mNNFq9dXhn5E2rvwkUP4FtjgbSFxNNoZjbBhI~A3UplQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District staff presented the North Bend SD 13 annual report for the Integrated Guidance (annual audit/summary of the Student Investment Account, High School Success, and Early Intervention and Intervention Supports) on Sept. 4. The report summarizes how the district allocated and spent funds for the prior grant cycle and will be posted on the district website and submitted to the Oregon Department of Education as required.

A board member asked clarifying questions about the grant cycles; a board member identified as Melissa Peck confirmed the grant cycles run on a two-year schedule and that the district is finishing the 2024–25 expenditures while moving into the 2025–27 grant cycle. The presenter described the integrated plan as an outcome-aligned document tied to the district’s strategic plan and noted the district had submitted a comprehensive application in the spring that included program budgets and a 37-page supporting document.

Board members and staff emphasized the district’s intent to show how expenditures map to goals in the strategic plan and to be transparent about spending. There was no formal board action required for the annual report; the presentation was informational and will be posted as public record.","The school board received the district's annual Integrated Guidance report (student investment account, high school success, early intervention supports).

Ben Castillo, a life-skills teacher who told the board he is in his 14th year, said a planned general-music class that would have focused on students on his caseload was canceled this year because of scheduling inflexibility and staffing changes. \"I teach the life skills students. This is my fourteenth year,\" Castillo said on the record; he told the board he and high-school administrators plan to resume the class next term and he will \"have due diligence to make sure this happens for my students.\"

An associate representative who spoke during the meeting described broad staffing shifts across buildings, including many teachers new to particular buildings and the district-wide effect of eliminated positions. The representative said primary music at the elementary level and a designated time for core instruction at some schools were affected, which in turn reduced pull-out support and required increased reliance on educational assistants. The representative said fourth-grade class sizes at Hillcrest have reached 30 students, which she said was likely to affect core literacy instruction.

Teachers and the board discussed operational impacts: new photocopiers, building improvements and a larger-than-expected turnover in staff have added logistical stress at the start of the year, presenters said. Board members acknowledged the concerns and recommended further communication and tracking of staffing and scheduling impacts so the board and administration can assess reallocation of resources.

A separate public comment noted a $2,000 donation from the Bay Area Concert Band to purchase a new tenor saxophone for the high-school band program; the donor and music staff were thanked on the record.

District staff and board members said they would continue to monitor the effects of reduced staffing and scheduling changes and invited staff and community members to provide specific instances (by email or direct contact with individual board members) so the board and administration can follow up.","During public comment and associate reports, teachers and staff described canceled special-music sessions and disrupted schedules caused by staff turnover and position eliminations, saying the changes reduced services for students with extra needs.",{"_33":124,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":125,"_41":126,"_43":127,"_45":128,"_47":129,"_49":130,"_51":131,"_53":132,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":133,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":134,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6488665,"North Bend SD 13 accepts superintendent resignation; board names acting superintendent",2301,131000,2432000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5782656-b0450ecf7a68fd5ec93114cc82de5877&start=131&end=2432","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5782656-b0450ecf7a68fd5ec93114cc82de5877/thumbnail_131000.jpg","/articles/6488665/Oregon/North-Bend-SD-13-accepts-superintendent-resignation-board-names-acting-superintendent","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6488665-d0ae5d67b690d911f610f513f1a3305f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770630237&Signature=FwJF5A1l7oasUNHxtfa6VQWP6gPVLaLeiRYfHH41DAmgCInQ~qjvzC26pUVDaFSyj~AOrD6htBw2SzaDwqOb1NlOSko8XP-VDawDT1vehhw3hG35ijD~-YG-gGID6~6Rmw8XZNiUx0uDgC4R-Z8Rl1vK-DXdauzmIwbFIPXh2mEeDTLChlb71Of72P4kJiIkSsXbHLTqeg8uyzOuBrt7s150utf3vdUeWQ1xUQbQ9D~~U40-g~nCOpYg6E0AD~hUYweK-FzWc0xvwbzcLrsn6uECDkny9PgOfXDhz2xfFAkqsJmAQUAfcevZvkrBbWz-~jakAsK855i5bKUL5bQ5XA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Bend SD 13 Board of Education on Sept. 4 accepted a resignation agreement with Superintendent Swaggerty and delegated authority to the board chair to execute the agreement on the board’s behalf. The board also voted to appoint an acting superintendent, identified in the meeting record as \"Creditor.\" The board approved both actions by voice vote; individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the meeting transcript.

Board members said the resignation agreement had been signed by \"Mr. Swaggerty\" before the meeting, though the signed document was not available for the board to review on the dais. A board member moved to accept the agreement and to delegate execution to the board chair; another board member seconded the motion. The motion passed after a voice vote, with the board chair calling the question.

The board later took a separate motion to appoint an acting superintendent. The motion as read on the record was \"appoint Creditor as active superintendent.\" Board members clarified the appointment was as \"acting\" (not interim) superintendent and again approved the motion by voice vote. The meeting record does not show a formal, itemized employment contract or salary terms discussed at the meeting.

Public commenters at the meeting asked whether the funds previously dedicated to the departing superintendent's position would be reallocated; board members said they expected such questions to be placed on future agendas so the public could track any proposed redistribution of resources. Board members said they would provide additional information about the administrative vacancy and the hiring timeline and that the district attorney and board would work on the posting and selection process.

The board’s actions: acceptance of the signed resignation agreement (delegation to board chair to execute) and appointment of an acting superintendent will be reflected in the district’s personnel records and posted meeting minutes, the board said.

The board did not provide contract details, salary redirection plans, or an immediate timeline for a permanent superintendent search during the Sept. 4 public meeting; members said those items would be addressed in upcoming meetings or posted public notices.","The North Bend SD 13 school board accepted a signed resignation agreement from Superintendent Swaggerty, delegated authority to the board chair to execute the agreement, and voted to appoint an acting superintendent at its Sept. 4 meeting.","actionData","errors"]
