Board appoints Brenton Storleman to Budget Committee; approves superintendent travel and endorses three special-election candidates
Summary
After interviewing two applicants, the Parkrose School District Board of Education voted to appoint Brenton Storleman to fill a budget committee vacancy through June 30, 2027. The board also approved extended travel for Superintendent Andre Goodloe to attend an AASA conference and unanimously endorsed three candidates for a May special election.
The Parkrose School District Board of Education on Feb. 10 appointed Brenton Storleman to a vacant budget committee seat and approved two additional routine items: an extended travel request for Superintendent Andre Goodloe and a board endorsement of three candidates in a May special election.
Budget committee appointment and interviews
The board interviewed two applicants for the budget committee vacancy and asked each candidate about involvement with district schools, motivations for serving and relevant qualifications. Brenton Storleman, who said he volunteers frequently in district schools and emphasized process improvement, and Matthew (last name not specified in the transcript), who cited prior city-council budget experience, each answered the panel’s four interview questions.
After members and student representatives discussed strengths, the board conducted its voting rounds and selected Storleman to move forward. The chair then called for a motion to appoint Brenton Storleman to Parkrose budget committee position 5, term ending June 30, 2027. A motion to appoint Storleman was made and adopted by voice vote; the transcript records the motion passing without a roll-call tally being read into the record.
Other formal actions
- Extended travel: The board approved an extended travel request for Superintendent Andre Goodloe to attend the AASA conference, March 5–8 (Louisiana). The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
- Endorsements: The board moved and seconded a motion to endorse candidates for the Parkrose School Board special election scheduled for May 20, 2025. The board’s endorsement listed Paul Tabron Jr., Josh Bullock and Mariah Galavis. The motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: The budget committee appointment fills a vacancy before the district’s spring budget work and gives the committee member a role in the April–June budget meetings and training schedule that the board outlined at the meeting. The superintendent’s approved travel is administrative and tied to professional development; the candidate endorsements indicate the board’s public support for specific special-election contenders.
Formal actions recorded in the meeting minutes appeared as voice votes; the transcript does not include a roll-call vote tally with named board members. The appointment carries a stated term end date of June 30, 2027.
