North Bend SD 13 board accepts superintendent—s responses to two complaints after executive session

The North Bend SD 13 board reconvened from an executive session and approved motions to accept the superintendent—s written responses to two personnel complaints, each motion passing by a 7-0 vote.

The board announced the executive session under the statutory exception cited in the meeting record (ORS 192.660(2)(f)) and noted a letter from Rebecca Jacobson in the record. The agenda items were listed as 3b (KL complaints) and 3c (AC complaints); the transcript references the names Aaron Cinco and Darren CICO in relation to those complaints.

During open session the board considered option 1 as presented in the superintendent—s response — namely, that the board had sufficient information from the complaints and the superintendent—s response and would take no further fact-finding. A board member moved "I move that we accept the superintendent's response as a solution to" the matter; another board member seconded. The presiding official called the vote and recorded the tally as 7-0 for the KL complaint. The board followed the same procedure for the AC complaint and again recorded a 7-0 vote to accept the superintendent—s response.

The meeting notice and the presiding official—s remarks indicated that, except for student expulsion, no decisions would be made in executive session; the transcript does not show a public vote on any student expulsion. The record does not indicate that the board directed further investigation or imposed disciplinary measures beyond accepting the superintendent—s written responses.

The meeting included a brief roll-call/attendance acknowledgement naming Jim Jordan, Michelle Briggs, Dave Swaggerty and Jan O'Bare (OSPH). Beyond the motions described above, the transcript records routine procedural remarks and a short closing exchange.
