Chief Financial Officer Sherry Lewis explained the corrective action stems from a journal entry on an ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) grant that was recorded using an estimate instead of actual costs. Lewis told the board the entry was made by a staff member who was new to the task and that the district corrected the accounting; she said the state Department of Education accepted Parkrose’s presentation but the state auditor’s division asked for a formal resolution to be recorded in the minutes.

“There was no loss of funds. We corrected it. There was no improper reporting,” Lewis told the board, while noting the state auditor’s division required the additional signed resolution.

Board members made and approved a motion to adopt the corrective-action plan and the accompanying resolution; the board’s approval was recorded in the meeting minutes and staff were instructed to forward the signed resolution to the state auditor’s division.

No fines or demands for repayment were reported at the meeting. Lewis asked the board to sign the resolution so she could return it to the state; board members approved the request during the agenda action item.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025.09.08 Working Session","oneSentenceSummary","Parkrose board approved a corrective-action plan and recorded a signed resolution requested by the state auditor’s division after an ESSER grant journal entry was based on an estimate rather than actual costs; staff said funds were corrected and no funds were lost.","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},5983715,"Parkrose enrollment up at middle grades; district monitors large kindergarten classes",391,7092000,7483000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5792706-a2aad563c4dddd4e15ebaf3d59982494&start=7092&end=7483","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5792706-a2aad563c4dddd4e15ebaf3d59982494/thumbnail_7092000.jpg","/articles/5983715/Oregon/Parkrose-enrollment-up-at-middle-grades-district-monitors-large-kindergarten-classes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5983715-879222e70c756c4ae37687ac0b151123/orig.mp4?Expires=1776319346&Signature=lfiXBr6Eot6o~kmvjngGeor~UMPC~zPAL6QSAFUIfOi1w8jBf06au2hYEyGSKOklSWwPjeVTxCPKz~BW5c2mfIrFeo7ogCYkNEy4U~Yg60zzYZBeEiPhwsrqgH6YXaruPp6dtjbfo1Y5Xf7apUI-uCRGeY02w6IvjpTHbtr1AWbiTPqKaLw-EBwHKayuiHdZ6iTjBPQv2JxDjTjLjwT9AeJFtvtXMH3b28oRvfmUoadGyTk8x0KVrqMV3TeU51eW2WWq1wb9hQqeNMCDbdtSysqn30wESsIkGy2HUGBxTp8faIU-yJyord-hYB4jXu-saGKJCYocAtWUcTQ~w5th9A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parkrose School District reported enrollment updates during the Sept. 8 working session, noting a larger-than-expected sixth-grade cohort, steady preschool counts and kindergarten classes at Sacramento Elementary that require additional attention.

Superintendent Michael Lopez said districtwide counts show about 950 students at Parkrose High School and a sizeable increase at Parkrose Middle School — up to approximately 667 students, which Lopez said represents a roughly 50-student gain since spring projections. Lopez told the board the district was watching Sacramento Elementary, where two kindergarten classrooms had combined enrollment near 60 students as of the report.

Lopez said some preschool programs operate under different funding and enrollment rules, with Multnomah County Preschool for All and the state Preschool Promise grant covering certain sites; those programs have caps (for example, preschool classes capped at 18 students under the Preschool Promise rules). He noted that Shaver and Sacramento have different classroom and staffing configurations; Sacramento’s kindergarten surge could require additional in-class assistance rather than shifting teachers between sites.

The superintendent said district funding is driven by state school fund enrollment counts, and that early September figures will inform budget calculations. He asked principals to confirm which registered students have shown up in the first days; staff said they call families when students do not appear.

No formal personnel or budget actions were taken at the Sept. 8 meeting. Lopez said staff would return to the board with a plan to provide additional support to the kindergarten classroom(s) if enrollment remains high and staffing or benefits-based adjustments are required.","Superintendent Michael Lopez told the board that enrollment shifts include a large sixth-grade cohort and growing kindergarten counts at some elementary schools, prompting staff to consider targeted assistance to classrooms with unusually high enrollments.",{"_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},5983720,"Students say Parkrose personal-device rule manageable; district monitoring results",530,6538000,7068000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5792706-a2aad563c4dddd4e15ebaf3d59982494&start=6538&end=7068","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5792706-a2aad563c4dddd4e15ebaf3d59982494/thumbnail_6538000.jpg","/articles/5983720/Oregon/Students-say-Parkrose-personal-device-rule-manageable-district-monitoring-results","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5983720-5808c1206061ac0d40632d6337335244/orig.mp4?Expires=1776319346&Signature=jdvytktH4JQPT9ljWq2yvinfKzIz7PXGQ0Mdopg~4b6TV0iqz37LbXr5hYFAcXiVb0S6BLouBF298UL49qH7EiMU4nfnFRbIVnKa4NSlHIneKAnH3cOCzPyDhnNuDyOQCHmj0T577N97IvmHWKoB2nUMM34IRVnJhHD5NaUb2qni3V2ThrRm6XAoegm3HLH3qeLxfi9cOMPTxomjbiM04vgfC1WFY1FZ7QutmYsd64fIUGHZ7OFn85yjpQF3KJQSPJubA9OhcosrHI91vlfFmDUjjZwl6vlqajuyMbjVYNCz5bP4LnhEaR5R3BN1~BuxsQcFmwikak4B~6cS7eGrxg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parkrose School District leaders and student representatives discussed the new personal-device rule during the Sept. 8 working session, with students reporting largely manageable early experiences and administrators saying they will monitor the policy’s effect on instruction and safety.

Superintendent Michael Lopez summarized the district’s approach and acknowledged that an executive order changed some elements of the district’s planned rollout. Lopez said Parkrose has allowed students limited phone access during passing time and lunch at the high school while middle-school devices are held in homeroom boxes. “We are one of the few schools that’s actually allowing students to have their phones during passing time and lunchtime,” Lopez said.

Student representatives described mixed but largely positive early reactions. One student representative said, “I actually don't think it's been that bad,” adding that students felt more present and were talking to each other more in hallways. Students noted classroom challenges when they relied on phones to take photos of notes or otherwise capture material quickly.

Board members and administrators raised two recurring concerns: emergency communications and the anxiety that devices may produce for some students. Lopez said the district is focused on clarifying emergency procedures and communication protocols and will continue adjusting guidance as staff gather feedback.

No change to district policy was adopted at the meeting; board members directed staff to monitor the rule’s implementation and report back with findings and recommended adjustments if needed.","After the district introduced a new personal-device rule this school year, superintendent and student representatives reported generally positive early feedback but identified classroom-use and emergency-communication questions to monitor.",{"_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},5983725,"OSBA webinar outlines new mandatory public-meeting training and updated meeting rules",2331,1899000,4230000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5792706-a2aad563c4dddd4e15ebaf3d59982494&start=1899&end=4230","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5792706-a2aad563c4dddd4e15ebaf3d59982494/thumbnail_1899000.jpg","/articles/5983725/Oregon/OSBA-webinar-outlines-new-mandatory-public-meeting-training-and-updated-meeting-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5983725-c6716aed3a5af72423d5a6ee4db65a25/orig.mp4?Expires=1776319346&Signature=itTU6cSbwZ3Pd1vFmHuZP-sSNUKNNpB8AwSZ7b6p9jHnxUY6x4LbbxyEwQPrjc~kWfrW9ppFcRCHQ-1CZ9Jq1J2g6itwGdwtmubwzIeKHrsI~pI5ZXWhSm57bWS4qKY1pDrgm~tScgS3ZreJ-LgG2km4z5fxyE1WF1dzvTO0B1DmyJYmnElLmBE1ZKflhTQAkz4MkvtLu39dHcOZKrQGiZ4OeQGw4-0HbAuC3wf06f8yquVnoTfo0Ob0LXJHd579m9Dry9V6rEyMvj0c7cnimkFDXBvBps6Jy08KAJk5LVjCwF2yBLMN6BXsWW4xy0gbg0RGqt72iOBH2Gon2vm25g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members viewed a recorded Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) training on Sept. 8 that the district said satisfies a new requirement from the Oregon Government Ethics Commission (OGEC). Haley Purcell, OSBA chief legal officer, told the board the law now requires governing bodies with total expenditures of $1,000,000 or more to complete public-meetings training once per term of office.

“This is a law that requires, governing bodies with total expenditures of $1,000,000 or more to have mandatory public meeting training once during each term of office,” Purcell said during the webinar portion shown to the board.

The presentation defined key terms that determine when Oregon’s public meeting law applies. Presenters explained the statutory definitions of \"meeting,\" \"governing body,\" \"convening,\" \"deliberation\" and \"decision,\" and warned that serial electronic communications and use of intermediaries can create an unintentional convening that would trigger public-meeting rules.

OSBA legal staff emphasized notice and accessibility duties: meetings should ordinarily be held within the public body’s geographic boundary or administrative headquarters; agendas must list principal subjects anticipated; and boards must provide contact information for requests for interpreters or other accommodations. The presenters also explained deadlines for notice (48 hours for regular meetings, 24 hours for special meetings, with a narrow emergency exception) and the requirement to keep records proving members completed the required training.

Presenters reviewed executive-session rules and the complaint process for alleged violations. They also suggested practical recordkeeping: keep a screenshot or copy of the training slides and a dated attendance record for each member who completes the webinar. OSBA offered the webinar as an approved training that districts can log for compliance.

No board action was taken; the board paused the webinar after about 10 minutes and scheduled completion or individual viewing later to meet the statutory requirement. The board discussion included a procedural question about whether newly elected members may complete the training individually; OSBA counsel said that individual members who miss a live session may watch a recorded version and keep documentation of viewing.","Presenters from the Oregon School Boards Association walked Parkrose board members through recent changes to Oregon public meetings law, including a new mandatory training requirement for governing bodies with annual expenditures of $1 million or more and updated definitions of \"meeting,\" \"convening,\" and virtual-meeting requirements.",{"_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},5983729,"Parkrose reports 16% English-learner population; Title III funds support services, report shows",831,475000,1306000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5792706-a2aad563c4dddd4e15ebaf3d59982494&start=475&end=1306","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5792706-a2aad563c4dddd4e15ebaf3d59982494/thumbnail_475000.jpg","/articles/5983729/Oregon/Parkrose-reports-16-English-learner-population-Title-III-funds-support-services-report-shows","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5983729-f90d91a4052312d3ed31b3349d7f4ec7/orig.mp4?Expires=1776319346&Signature=eXSuMSBwMna3TRhhkTJdTOkaLig7Mu1cULRMIHCSV5vRYuctYF9DWdEeuJnUUkzEUioUgtWF9HJ7oGbAcHbCkjxJAbuQbeHAZmhTuOaEv-SPOLvQOiTSDpKZiCIehSgL9EPMX06aveO3eqHDGaB-bfa5P1JbL75j5wiGl46P7alnxCMzCdqKPsfb2YeMi-FWxbIfuwGUfRYSHkUEe30qN4YNVjdWXOsyZHMtr7cu8YWP7-HDT2uwlGr8h3lBXdVbgQRsD37rFLRVTfNZ2ZRYTBh-GOvjNRIZBie50YRyiLSwUwB2~o0XvPDdZ-QQ4z14m1r7PwkJnxivU9dgGhUJeA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parkrose School District officials presented the district’s 2023–24 English learners (EL) legislative report on Sept. 8, telling the board the district’s EL population is about 16% — higher than the statewide rate of about 11% — and that the district is seeing increases in newcomer students and in ninth-grade students considered on track.

The report, delivered by Brooke Mattern, director of federal programs, described statewide and local trends and how Parkrose uses federal Title III funds to support English learners. “One of the programs that I oversee is Title 3, which is our English language learners,” Mattern said during the working session.

The presentation said Parkrose’s EL population includes Spanish speakers as the largest group, with smaller Russian and Vietnamese populations, and that Parkrose’s EL students are disproportionately represented among students in poverty and in special education while being underrepresented in TAG (talented and gifted) services. Mattern told the board the district saw a notable decrease in exclusionary discipline for EL students and a slight increase in attendance and in the proportion who reach limited English proficiency (LEP) on the ELPA exam.

Superintendent Michael Lopez and board members asked how the district measures progress and what supports exist beyond ninth grade. Lopez told the board the district will present state assessment data in October or November to show year-to-year trends and subgroup disaggregation. He emphasized that state test results lag one year behind the report’s school-year focus.

Mattern and Lopez also explained program funding and structure: Title III federal grant dollars fund a quarter of Mattern’s position and stipends for ELD coordinators, while most ELD teachers are paid from the district general fund. Parkrose does not directly allocate district funds for migrant education; that service is handled through the Multnomah Education Service District (MESD) in partnership with Parkrose.

Board discussion included requests for clearer numeric definitions in the state report (Mattern said some categories are labeled “notable” rather than giving exact percentages) and for more disaggregated state assessment reporting. Mattern and staff committed to returning with the state data, which will include EL students as a subgroup, and to continue monitoring discipline, attendance, and proficiency measures.

The presentation and ensuing questions took place during the scheduled EL legislative report item; no board action or policy change was taken at the meeting.

Parkrose leaders said supports for newcomers — especially middle and high school students who arrive without English proficiency — require more intensive services and noted staffing limitations at secondary sites where EL staffing is limited to roughly one-and-a-half full-time equivalents at each middle and high school.

The report and data are available on the district and Oregon Department of Education websites; Mattern told the board the full legislative report is linked in the meeting agenda packet.","District staff told the Parkrose School Board that English learners now make up about 16% of students — above the state rate — and highlighted gains in discipline and ninth-grade on-track measures while noting persistent gaps in attendance and academic outcomes.","actionData","errors"]
