TIGARD, Ore. — The Tigard-Tualatin SD 23J board convened a work session Wednesday evening to hear school improvement plan (SIP) presentations from five schools and to discuss how those plans align with district goals.

Unidentified Speaker 2, a board member, outlined the night’s format and presenters, saying, “So tonight, we will be hearing SIP presentations from ARE, Templeton, Durham Elementary, Tuality Middle School, and Deer Creek Elementary.” The board member said attendees should expect overviews of each school’s focus areas, how those areas align with district goals, action steps the schools plan to take, and opportunities for clarifications and appreciation.

The district-level priority emphasized during the session was support for multilingual learners. Unidentified Speaker 2 said the SIP discussions would include how school focus areas support that collective priority.

Unidentified Speaker 1 opened and closed the session, inviting participants to break into roundtable groups to begin the SIP discussions and later announcing that the work session would conclude at 6:00 p.m. and that the main board meeting would begin at 6:30 p.m. Viewers watching remotely were told they could see the proceedings but that audio might be difficult to hear.

The transcript of the work session provided the list of presenting schools but did not include individual presenter names, details of each school’s specific improvement strategies, budget amounts, timelines, or any formal votes. Those substantive SIP details and presenter identities were not specified in the record provided.

The board is expected to continue with the regular meeting at 6:30 p.m., where any formal consideration or action on the SIPs would occur if scheduled.
