Board approves up to $168,000 to contract nursing services for vacant district nurse position
Summary
The board authorized district staff to secure contracted nursing services at a cost of up to $168,000 for a vacant full‑time district nurse position for 2025–26 if a hire is not completed before the school year.
The Forest Grove School District Board approved a request to allocate up to $168,000 to secure contracted nursing services if the district is unable to fill a vacant full‑time district nurse position before the 2025–26 school year.
District staff said the nurse vacancy draws a large applicant field and that the district wants to maintain services at the start of the school year. Staff requested authority to retain a staffing agency to provide nurses on contract if necessary; the board approved the request after a motion and a voice vote.
The authorization covers contracting costs for the 1.0 FTE district nurse within student services and is contingent on hiring availability; staff will return to the board with staffing updates as needed.
