Tigard-Tualatin reports largely compliant with Division 22 but identifies gaps for corrective action
Summary
Assistant superintendent presented the district's Division 22 report: the district said it meets most rules but identified gaps in diploma notification, a comprehensive substance-use prevention plan and full staff training, and certain local assessment alignments; corrective plans will return to the board.
Tigard-Tualatin SD 23J officials told the school board the district is compliant with the majority of Oregon Department of Education Division 22 K–12 rules but identified several areas requiring corrective action, including notification about diploma options, documenting a comprehensive substance-use prevention and intervention plan and ensuring 100% teacher training, and alignment for local performance assessment rubrics in a few subject areas.
Assistant Superintendent Dr. McCall and directors who worked on the assurance report said the Division 22 rules set baseline state expectations across many topics including diploma requirements, instructional time, counseling and curriculum adoption. They reported the district will submit assurances to ODE and, where it self-identified noncompliance, will propose corrective steps and timelines.
Specific items flagged: the district will add an annual notice to clarify modified diploma, extended diploma and certificate of attendance options; staff said the content will appear in the upcoming rights-and-responsibilities handbook and be distributed via newsletter and email. On substance-use prevention and intervention, staff said health lessons and prevention activities are in place, but the district must consolidate efforts into a single comprehensive plan and complete training for 100% of teachers; the mental-health and wellness coordinator, Audra Stave, was noted as the staff lead and will return in November with the comprehensive plan for board review and action if required.
On local performance assessment, presenters said most of the district's assessment rubrics for ELA, math and science align with ODE rubrics; where alignment is missing—science adoption was noted—the district plans to fold the required work into its upcoming K–12 science adoption process and to use standard-alignment and proficiency-scale development to meet the requirement.
Board members and staff said Division 22 standards evolve frequently and that periodic, narrow noncompliance is not unusual for districts. Staff emphasized ongoing communication with ODE and said they expect to present corrective plans and timelines to the board in coming weeks.
