Several motions passed at Tuesday’s Lake Oswego School District board meeting by voice vote. The transcript records the following actions and outcomes; district records should be consulted for full roll‑call tallies and final contract documents.
• Forest Hills Elementary design services — Motion approved to authorize the clerk to execute a design contract “not to exceed $3,741,699.” Staff said the work covers education specifications, master planning and subsequent design phases and includes stop/pause provisions pending a November 2025 bond. (Motion and discussion: Mr. Vandenberg; vote recorded as voice “aye.”)
• Lake Oswego Middle School, Robinson Construction change order No. 12 — Motion approved to authorize the clerk to approve the change order in the amount of $121,573 for structural clarifications, low‑voltage devices and miscellaneous items. (Motion passed by voice vote.)
• Lighting retrofit labor contract and materials purchase orders — Board authorized a labor contract with Rose City Electric Company to perform LED retrofits at four schools and approved purchase orders for retrofit materials through the Omnia cooperative purchasing agreement; staff said Energy Trust of Oregon incentives are expected to reduce net costs.
• Lake Grove Swim Park appropriation transfer resolution — Board approved a housekeeping resolution to transfer appropriation authority within the Lake Grove Swim Park 2024‑25 budget to cover June spending activity. Staff described the action as necessary under Oregon Local Budget Law because appropriation limits are board‑set.
• Bridal Month (Pride month) resolution — Board adopted a resolution recognizing June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month and encouraging schools to include contributions of LGBTQIA+ communities in instruction.
• 2025‑26 school board meeting calendar — Board approved meeting dates for the next school year.
• Consent agenda — The board accepted the consent agenda as presented.
The transcript records voice votes (ayes) on each item; it does not provide roll‑call tallies or recorded nays in the sections cited. For procurement contracts and budget transfers, official minutes and procurement documents should be reviewed for contract names, amounts and final approvals.
