Board approves combined ODE integrated grants proposal totaling $9.1 million
Summary
The district board approved a combined Oregon Department of Education integrated grants proposal totaling $9.1 million, with the administration saying roughly 90.8% of funds will be used for staff.
The Lake Oswego School District 7J board voted to approve a combined Oregon Department of Education integrated grants proposal that district staff presented as a package of three grants.
The administration said the total of the three grants is $9,100,000 and that the bulk — roughly 90.8 percent, according to the presentation — will pay staff costs. The administration said about 1.3 percent is proposed for professional development and a small portion for curriculum materials.
Motion and vote: Director Ayers moved to approve the ODE integrated grants proposal as presented by administration; a board member seconded and the motion passed by voice vote. The record shows the board approved the proposal during the meeting.
Why it matters: staff told the board the grants would fund high‑school success, early literacy and SIA (Student Investment Account) activities. The administration said the grants primarily fund personnel to deliver those programs.
Clarifying details: the presenter said nearly 91 percent of grant dollars are budgeted for staff, roughly 1.3 percent for professional development, and a small amount for curriculum; the district did not provide a line‑by‑line grant budget during the meeting.
Ending: the board approved the grants by voice vote; staff will implement the grant programs and report back on use of funds.
