Board approves South Coast ESD local service plan and grants a staff leave of absence; votes recorded

The Coos Bay School District 9 board approved two formal items during the meeting: the South Coast Education Service District (ESD) Local Service Plan (LSP) and a staff leave-of-absence request.

Local Service Plan: The board voted to approve the South Coast ESD Local Service Plan (the item in the packet was unchanged from the prior year). The motion(s) were moved and seconded during the meeting; the roll call recorded all board members voting in favor. Votes were recorded on the record in the meeting as: Kim — aye; Arnie — aye; Kevin — aye; Adrian — aye; David — aye; (chair/other) — aye. The superintendent representing the ESD, Paul Peterson, briefed the board on the plan and noted the LSP builds flexibility into tiered ESD services and was vetted by the region’s superintendents and the ESD board.

Leave of Absence: The board also considered and approved a one-year leave of absence request submitted by Ashley Caballero (teacher). The board noted administration supported the leave and adopted it “by acclamation.” No roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript beyond the acclamation adoption.

Ending: Both actions were recorded in the meeting minutes and staff will proceed with implementation consistent with the plan and HR processes.
