District reports Division 22 compliance plans and updates major school construction projects
Summary
District staff reviewed Division 22 reporting, compliance deadlines and new rules; facilities staff reported the high‑school renovation is about 50% through design and outlined phasing, HVAC, ADA and athletics work.
District staff presented the annual Division 22 (OAR chapter 581) report and explained compliance processes, corrective action and timelines. The district must post a local report by Nov. 1 and submit required materials to the Oregon Department of Education by Nov. 15; corrective action plans are required where rules are out of compliance. Staff discussed waivers, the assessment waivers still in place, and new or revised rules including the student survey and the English‑language proficiency screener.
Facilities staff provided an update on the high‑school modernization project, reporting roughly 50% completion of design development and a focus on phasing to minimize disruption. Key elements include HVAC upgrades, athletics and locker‑room updates, cafeteria expansion and classroom additions; staff said early involvement of contractors should help with pricing and phasing and that the district hopes to keep students in the building as much as possible during construction.
The board asked follow‑up questions about construction phasing, temporary modular needs, ADA restroom updates at OMS and roofing projects across the district. Staff noted some estimates remain in flux and promised to return with updated cost estimates and phasing plans.
Next steps: staff will finalize design‑phase estimates and provide a timeline for contractor procurement and construction phasing.
