The Tigard‑Tualatin School District board voted on two formal actions added to the agenda.
Immigrant & Refugee Student Success Plan grant The board approved a motion to authorize TTSD to apply for the Oregon Department of Education Immigrant & Refugee Student Success Plan grant (grant #2628), seeking up to $200,000 per year for two years to expand supports for newcomer students, broaden culturally responsive coordinator work to additional language groups (including Arabic, Ukrainian and Somali), partner with regional organizations and fund up to one full‑time equivalent staff position to support recent arrivals. Director En presented the item; Director Jaimes moved the motion and Director Weston seconded. The motion passed by voice vote (ayes recorded).
Executive session: personnel matter (ORS 192.660(2)(b)) An item added to the agenda asked the full board to consider whether to uphold the district’s recommendation from the Nov. 3 executive session held under ORS 192.660(2)(b) concerning dismissal/discipline or complaints brought against a public employee who had requested a closed meeting. Director Jaimes moved that the board uphold the district’s recommendation and Director Miles seconded. The chair conducted individual roll calls: Director Miles, Director Jaimes, Director Weston and the chair each recorded ‘Aye’ and the motion carried.
No additional details about the personnel matter were provided on the public record beyond the statute cited (ORS 192.660(2)(b)).
