Board approves LOEA contract, budgets, salaries, calendar and appropriation transfers
Summary
At its June 3 meeting the Lake Oswego School District board approved a two‑year tentative agreement with LOEA, adopted the 2025‑26 budgets, approved miscellaneous salaries and a calendar adjustment and authorized appropriation transfers; most items passed by recorded motion and voice votes.
The Lake Oswego School District board approved multiple business items on June 3, taking final action on negotiated labor terms, the district budget and several housekeeping items.
Key actions approved
- LOEA tentative agreement: The board approved a two‑year tentative agreement ratified by LOEA membership. The contract includes a 3.625% cost‑of‑living adjustment (COLA) in year one plus one furlough day and a 3.25% COLA in year two with no furlough day. The agreement also preserves the existing “rainbow schedule” for middle schools, described in materials as a rotating seven‑period day. Director Rayner moved to approve the agreement and Director Mills seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
- Miscellaneous salaries: The board approved salary adjustments for non‑represented employees and substitute teachers aligned with the LOEA terms: first‑year COLA of 3.625% with one furlough day, second‑year COLA of 3.25%. Substitute rate adjustments and long‑term substitute differentials were included in the staff presentation and adopted by motion.
- 2025‑26 budgets (District and Lake Grove Swim Park): The board adopted the legal budgets for the Lake Oswego School District and the Lake Grove Swim Park. A staff clarification moved a dues-and-fees line into materials and services but left the overall parks appropriation unchanged; adoption was completed by motion.
- School‑year calendar adjustment: Because of the negotiated furlough day, the board adjusted the 2025‑26 calendar so students’ last day is Friday, June 12, and a teacher workday remains after that date.
- Appropriation transfers and budget adjustments: The board approved a resolution to transfer appropriation authority within the general and capital projects funds and approved two budget adjustments to ensure appropriation levels cover actual year‑end spending.
Procedural notes: Each item was introduced by staff with supporting materials in the board packet. Motions were moved and seconded on the record; for several items the motion carried on voice vote and the transcript records “aye” responses. Where the transcript records explicit mover/second, those names are noted; where seconders were not clearly named in the record, motions were seconded on the floor.
Items deferred or to return: A separate tax exemption request from Mercy (a similar nonprofit housing request) was discussed; staff said city approval already existed and that the Mercy request would be brought back as a formal resolution at a future meeting for board consideration.
What comes next: Staff will execute budget adoption procedures and make the appropriation transfers; HR and payroll will implement salary adjustments and substitute rates for the 2025‑26 fiscal year; calendar materials will be posted to district schedules.
