They asked whether scheduling and opponent selection could reduce long-distance travel and boost community attendance at games.

The superintendent acknowledged the concerns and described outreach to partners — including a government-relations representative and city bureaus — to coordinate on Safe Routes, sidewalks, lighting and transit issues that affect student access to school and to athletic venues. She said she is arranging meetings with city and county representatives and noted existing contacts with council staff for monthly briefings.

Board members suggested local scheduling adjustments so more community members can attend and to reduce travel to distant schools where incidents have occurred. The superintendent said athletic director Ryan Gallagher and staff are involved in schedule planning and that the district will continue to pursue solutions including more local scheduling where practicable.

Separately, a board member asked about local street improvements near schools (sidewalks, lighting and crosswalks). The superintendent said the district works with the city Bureau of Transportation and county partners and will invite bureau representatives to brief the board on Safe Routes to School and any planned projects.

Ending: The superintendent recommended a future work session or invitation to city/county transportation staff and to the athletic director to develop concrete next steps; no formal policy or scheduling action was taken at this meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025.08.15 Board Retreat","oneSentenceSummary","Board and superintendent discussed safety at away athletic events, district advocacy for sidewalks and safer routes to schools, coordination with city transportation and county partners, and options to adjust athletic scheduling to reduce travel risks; no binding decisions were made.","taxTitle","Parkrose SD 3, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",38719,"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},5983714,"Superintendent details geothermal testing, Portland Clean Energy Fund projects and potential bond timing",236,9912000,10148000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5792714-135a0f31be92ae6506bbd658b01f1058&start=9912&end=10148","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5792714-135a0f31be92ae6506bbd658b01f1058/thumbnail_9912000.jpg","/articles/5983714/Oregon/Superintendent-details-geothermal-testing-Portland-Clean-Energy-Fund-projects-and-potential-bond-timing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5983714-a13126e92290c807fe88a6d467d9dc55/orig.mp4?Expires=1770426458&Signature=OCGpK3fJU1T0wnp~ovoGKzgYJzr~-lwnOhZqhQLjZmAjqnWlalL-o4Ikf4jycljB5X~b6rnYvCUP5M3V~so~GdK3PrFfbkrRCy4sZCb08k6fAuaWwVd6-7-LVK9VcbbuqlH-uMYnQjA1lZqIgBzrc3H5dCnsTyw87rbl~SNXZHSq2WlPpOj11AlP8-SXEY1jLaAs38Dpl0w5nkPb3J3I1POk2MPnecUzb-S7cGw7Wu6hM~fJuaZ1VZjcBlMnkgg9xhRMlPkPO7O5qRc2LD6KLEPXasUmzxXro~b5e-fAKgdej-iX3KkK2RkSvwtEXUSMBcO4JKDyrgu7J8NoX4sC1w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent gave a facilities update focused on energy and capital planning. She said the district is a recipient of dollars from the Portland Clean Energy Fund and used part of that funding this summer to run feasibility drills at elementary sites to test for geothermal HVAC installations.

Why it matters: the superintendent said the goal is to install HVAC systems in elementary schools that currently lack adequate heating and cooling, but that such projects are expensive. The superintendent said the Portland Clean Energy Fund award is restricted to energy-efficiency projects and that the district is assessing how many schools can be upgraded within the available funds.

She described preliminary work: field drilling was completed at elementary schools this summer and facilities staff will report back with feasibility results and cost estimates. The superintendent also said rental revenue from district-owned properties currently helps pay for maintenance and improvements.

The superintendent framed capital planning as a near-term issue: she said the district must consider timing for any future operations levies or capital bonds, noting the district’s past bond passage was narrow and that broader demographic and turnout patterns matter for future measures. She said staff will present updated facility-condition data and enrollment projections to inform decisions.

Ending: Facilities manager Ron (referenced) will be asked to present geothermal findings and a prioritized list of projects to the board in the coming months so members can weigh trade-offs between HVAC, maintenance and potential bond timing.","District tested elementary sites for geothermal this summer using Portland Clean Energy Fund dollars; superintendent said funds are restricted to energy-efficiency projects, explained the high costs and said staff will brief the board on feasibility and next steps while noting long-term facility and bond considerations.",{"_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},5983719,"Superintendent flags transfer policy, enrollment and funding risks as district heads into school year",771,7808000,8579000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5792714-135a0f31be92ae6506bbd658b01f1058&start=7808&end=8579","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5792714-135a0f31be92ae6506bbd658b01f1058/thumbnail_7808000.jpg","/articles/5983719/Oregon/Superintendent-flags-transfer-policy-enrollment-and-funding-risks-as-district-heads-into-school-year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5983719-49044b1dac0c6344f5a55a269c050bc6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770426458&Signature=hQzjfnbNe7cL--M1U7yWwOsoya1UIWwxHdlCtndDMy0Zntr8OQjfFM0xBOHTHHQ7yXpzChH62S3s-gc8awEvbz5kpYnqzK0ajs~rCdi8NXkm62IV4ygGMfyNOfgvlPaTY0kluWey6RyJRMB-UmWGHsTzNnVZuWoCBxrBwlKndFlBCYmSTnP4nmr3BkBA9Jqgpa1SxfPi0Rnr76jWM1qZgKKpdrMCTbxX2d3PYIoJUGlkDw2Y8QRfVJ8t0VShaiIkDRogCokGhRLa9AT88r0VPiRk6U7yV7-TCnJkOJK4jn8K78E5sKMtlcwZydXaGthImlS8a~4ReqcY1yMOnMBdjw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent told the board that interdistrict and intra-district transfer policy is a recurring operational issue with budget implications because state funding generally follows a student’s enrollment. She explained the district’s current practice and hardship categories, and said staff will return with policy options for the board to consider.

Key points: the superintendent said release of a student to another district typically means the district loses the associated state funding unless the student returns; she listed commonly accepted hardship reasons such as military deployment, homelessness and foster-care placements. She noted that athletic or program-driven transfer requests are common and are not guaranteed approvals.

The superintendent gave counts from the previous year: “we had 86 requests to transfer out, and 63 were approved. 80 were accepted to come into the district,” she said, noting this movement has meaningful operational and budget effects.

Staff said they monitor attendance, behavior and academic performance of transfer students and can revoke transfer privileges if conditions warrant; they also described constraints around transfers for students with special education needs, where legal protections apply.

Why this matters: transfers affect per-student funding and can change school enrollment, which in turn affects staffing, program placement and long-term facility planning. The superintendent said transfer-policy review will return to the board with data and recommended changes.

Ending: Superintendent said she will present transfer numbers in October and proposed options to clarify hardship criteria and revocation triggers; no policy vote took place at the meeting.","Superintendent reviewed interdistrict-transfer policy, explained how released students take state funding with them, described hardship categories the district considers, and reported transfer counts from last year; she said staff will bring transfer-policy options to the board for review.",{"_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},5983722,"Board discusses meeting practices, executive sessions and committee roles ahead of fall work plan",6570,4053000,10623000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5792714-135a0f31be92ae6506bbd658b01f1058&start=4053&end=10623","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5792714-135a0f31be92ae6506bbd658b01f1058/thumbnail_4053000.jpg","/articles/5983722/Oregon/Board-discusses-meeting-practices-executive-sessions-and-committee-roles-ahead-of-fall-work-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5983722-340a878763d011acd2133fa7d57f34d2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770426458&Signature=HaUGlty3Mh2ih-JPjD4-pXrBTnkdin~UIdgq4UWv7sPjR~1~VCsuCNa~07~L1xO8EiWUw0AmSeUyEGiiIlAtV~so9-sBypDsGufV7SXw4Lc5Vzxsi9xxXR~ccy-1H2SToQiEf75ZhZnF~3Xxem3EO5NNhwl61cU0USeG333s~VhGhuVKtSBaBi-25e-eeJRJp98kg0gQjLIlQnRqGdJm3a9XZDa61f2BlCRaJMQ8ll5-6O8Vpo-GhnBlh0k5MU17wShlKlqenTST2cRlcn8l1vPdwP0kVYC7gtLplES2AeLx32~y7YKhPtOiRxy2R4UFmkiDyCLe9IIhXn07cZcDVA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District leadership and board members reviewed how the board will operate this year, including meeting cadence, executive-session practice and committee assignments.

The superintendent asked the board to be mindful of meeting length and said the goal is to start at 6:30 p.m. and avoid running past 9 p.m. She described executive sessions as a place for legal, labor or personnel matters and said staff will brief the chair and superintendent if issues arise that require further closed discussion. \"If it's not allowable under executive order and I'm not comfortable reading it out in public, I'll probably call on the board chair and say, hey. I want you to know this,\" she said.

Board members discussed practical steps to make school visits more useful for both board members and school staff — suggestions included notifying school front desks about official visits, posting photos/bios so front-office staff can identify visiting board members, and providing logistical supports such as a cart to move materials. The superintendent said Andrea (staff) will help coordinate and that principals should prepare front-office staff for visits.

On committees and representation, the superintendent encouraged members to nominate themselves for external roles (OSBA policy committee and other regional groups) before the September 30 nomination deadlines and proposed distributing bargaining and advocacy responsibilities among board members to spread time commitments during the upcoming bargaining year.

The board did not take votes on committee assignments at the meeting; the superintendent said nominations and role confirmations will be handled in upcoming sessions.

Ending: The superintendent proposed a short training on the district’s equity lens and suggested the board schedule a work session to finalize goals and committee roles this fall.","Board and superintendent reviewed board agreements, meeting length expectations, executive-session usage, committee assignments and options to improve school visits and communication; no formal changes were adopted at the meeting.",{"_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},5983726,"Parkrose superintendent outlines student personal-device policy, plans Oct. 31 adoption",475,220000,695000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5792714-135a0f31be92ae6506bbd658b01f1058&start=220&end=695","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5792714-135a0f31be92ae6506bbd658b01f1058/thumbnail_220000.jpg","/articles/5983726/Oregon/Parkrose-superintendent-outlines-student-personal-device-policy-plans-Oct-31-adoption","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5983726-1a7b6db05c5c3755e6b706fc5f0d4e27/orig.mp4?Expires=1770426458&Signature=lp2lu~TR5EgT8~bwcbEHGK6N61qWwECftKSV7Mov3b4BShJ~dKhtpuk~B7rfQ5n-fNcJug8abupaMMMVcUI7lRbmOrSM6PulCYgbOeFHOAwNQwam55Ha~2EbOocqm-66Bv9FVONE6R5BVo5ukc~ZwjkqN19HHMUX9CGUt~VTLJ9AuHwtCl3aLYZbIZyVi~y~EG011Q9qIsUYO4XquaHVCKk5iJBNgCN4IEgTVZl6CpzXxQALidiujFSSlpnUhTNH8YFuHEk5XIcN2LdqX8-8f0i8IrcbxxWs1-QBWf81Q72mZQgtK5bpCO7eXArXTT7O8gdORt8ghPDg~QlaPMrAfg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent presented a draft personal-device policy and told the Parkrose School District Board that the administration plans to bring a final policy for adoption by Oct. 31. The draft would bar students from using phones during instructional time and set administrative rules for how exceptions and accommodations are handled.

The superintendent said, “we have to adopt the policy by October 31,” and described the draft as aimed to keep phones “not out during instructional time.” She explained the proposal treats elementary and middle school students more restrictively and gives high-school students greater possession but requires phones to be put away during instruction.

Why it matters: the board will consider a districtwide rule that affects every student’s daily classroom routine and touches on special-education accommodations, parent communications and campus safety procedures.

Discussion points included: how the district will handle students who need phones for documented medical or assistive-technology reasons (the superintendent said those would be covered by an IEP or similar plan), the administrative rule the district will create to require documentation from parents for exceptions, and classroom-level storage approaches. The superintendent described an intended sequence: teachers coach students during the initial month of implementation, classroom storage options will be provided, and repeated misuse would lead to office referrals.

The board and staff discussed how the policy would work during passing time, lunch, theater, library and other non-instructional spaces; the superintendent said the policy’s core is “during instructional time” and clarified that commons or free periods at high school would be treated differently than instructional spaces. She also described a staged rollout: teacher training, student coaching and pilot messaging for families in multiple languages.

On emergency communication and translations, the superintendent said the district’s mass-notification system supports “50 languages” and that administrators will work with culturally specific partners to make sure families receive critical information in an emergency.

The policy draft does not include a final disciplinary matrix in the public discussion. No formal motion or vote to adopt the policy occurred at the meeting; the superintendent said she will return with a refined draft and administrative rules ahead of the October deadline.

Ending: Board members asked clarifying questions about field trips, restroom use during class and volunteers’ expectations; the superintendent said those operational details will be covered in the administrative rule and in staff training before the policy’s next review.","Superintendent presented a drafted personal-device policy that would bar phones during instructional time, set administrative rules for accommodations and storage, and require the board to adopt a final policy by Oct. 31; high-school possession rules and emergency/translation protocols were discussed but no vote was taken.","actionData","errors"]
