Board authorizes acting superintendent and chair to negotiate settlement over potential misappropriation involving South Coast ESD
Summary
The board voted to authorize Acting Superintendent Tim Kreider and Board Chair Nathan McClintock to enter negotiations and, if needed, finalize settlement agreements in a potential misappropriation of state school funds involving South Coast ESD; the motion passed at the meeting.
The North Bend School Board authorized Acting Superintendent Tim Kreider and Board Chair Nathan McClintock to conduct negotiations and finalize settlement agreements related to a potential misappropriation of state school fund dollars involving the South Coast Education Service District.
District counsel and staff reported the district identified a potential misappropriation and that mediation is scheduled in October. To expedite a resolution, the board voted to grant negotiated‑settlement authority to the acting superintendent and the board chair for the purposes of mediation and settlement.
A board member moved the authorization and a second was recorded; the board chair called for the question and the motion carried. The board did not disclose a settlement figure at the meeting. The motion instructed the named officials to proceed with negotiations and to act on the district's behalf if a mutually acceptable figure were reached during mediation.
The board did not provide further public detail about the nature of the alleged misappropriation during the open meeting. The motion passed on voice vote and the chair indicated the motion "carries," allowing the designated officials to represent the district in the upcoming mediation.
