School board approves $9.1 million ODE integrated grants proposal to fund staffing and programs
Summary
The Lake Oswego board approved an ODE integrated grants package totaling about $9.1 million, with the district saying most funds will pay staff salaries; the board approved the measure by voice vote.
The Lake Oswego School District 7J board voted to approve an Oregon Department of Education (ODE) integrated grants proposal that combines three grants (SIA, High School Success, and Early Literacy) with a combined total the administration reported as about $9.1 million.
Why it matters: District administration told the board roughly 90.8% of the grant funds will pay staff salaries, with about 1.3% allocated to professional development and roughly 0.2% to curriculum. The grants are intended to support direct services to students across the district.
Board action: Director Acker moved to approve the ODE integrated grants proposal “as presented by administration.” A second was recorded in the meeting and the board approved the motion by voice vote. The recorded meeting did not include a roll‑call tally; the motion passed as stated by the chair.
What administrators said: The presenting staff framed the package as a consolidated application to the state that funds staffing and program priorities aligned to district goals. The administration characterized the proposal as primarily funding staff positions and a small share of professional development and instructional materials.
Next steps: With board approval the district will accept the ODE grant awards and implement the funded positions and activities according to the grant terms and state reporting requirements.
