Superintendent Steve Cook used his report Dec. 9 to outline several operational updates, including safety partnerships, a recent custodial fire and a school relocation.

Cook described the Safe School Alliance partnership with regional law enforcement aimed at strengthening school safety and said the district sent administrators to the Coastal Law Conference. He said he presented at the Oregon Business Council Leadership Summit. Regarding an operational incident, Cook reported a custodial fire at Miller Elementary and said the district would provide information to families after follow-up. He also updated the board on the Realms BTA merger and the plan for Realms Middle School to move into the Buckingham site and share that space.

The transcript provides no further details on the fire’s cause, the timeline for the Realms move or any formal approvals required for the relocation.
