District previews 2025–27 integrated planning application that pulls multiple federal and state funds under one plan
Summary
Tigard‑Tualatin staff previewed a draft 2025–27 integrated planning application that aligns nine state and federal funding streams with the district’s strategic goals and emphasizes literacy, English learner supports and ninth‑grade success.
District staff gave the board a first read of the Tigard‑Tualatin School District’s integrated planning application for the 2025–27 cycle, a required submission to the Oregon Department of Education that coordinates multiple federal and state funding streams with district strategic goals.
Dr. McCall and Jessica C., the district chief financial officer, told the board the integrated plan folds nine program funding streams into a single planning framework that addresses needs assessment, equity, well‑rounded learning and community engagement. New this year, the plan must include an early‑literacy inventory tied to an early literacy grant the district holds.
Staff said the integrated portfolio encompasses about $15.7 million in resources; the Student Investment Account is the single largest component, listed at approximately $11.1 million in allocated expenditures in the draft presentation. The application will prioritize preK–12 literacy, multilingual learner supports, ninth‑grade success and staff retention and development, while continuing work on school safety, culture and climate.
District staff described an extensive community engagement process that began in September and included roundtables, community budget work groups, school‑level meetings, surveys and three public community budget sessions in February and March. The presentation summarized survey results showing most students and families say teachers help develop essential skills, while some respondents raised concerns about physical and emotional safety and a need for stronger individualized academic support.
Staff said they will return later in April with a final draft for board approval before submitting the integrated application to ODE. The board exchanged questions about relative funding changes and noted that projected allocations in several categories were lower than last year once the governor’s recommended budget was applied to district projections.
No formal board action was taken; staff said the district will continue community engagement and monitoring through the application and implementation phases.
