Perrydale board discusses 2025'27 integrated guidance; funding priorities focus on literacy, CTE and math support
Summary
Board members reviewed the district's 2025'27 integrated guidance application, which consolidates state program areas and would fund a 0.5 FTE early literacy specialist, licensed math support, instructional assistants and CTE resources; a motion to approve the guidance was moved but the transcript does not record a roll-call vote in the provided segments.
The Perrydale School District 21 board spent substantial time reviewing the 2025'27 integrated guidance application, a state process that consolidates multiple program reporting requirements into a single application and ties funding streams to district goals.
Superintendent (S4) explained the shift from multiple required plans to one integrated application and said the district's proposal emphasizes early literacy, math supports, high school success (HSS) programming and career and technical education. "Early literacy is jumping up to a 134,000 this next year," S4 said, highlighting a large state investment in literacy supports. The superintendent also described SIA funding as a primary revenue source for district investments, noting SIA funds pay for elementary instructional assistants, a K—8 math specialist, CTE materials and other personnel.
The proposed budget and staffing in the packet included a licensed literacy specialist (0.5 FTE), two classified instructional assistants, a licensed CTE instructor and continued support for a newly funded high school success staffer. The administration said the plan would allow the district to set longitudinal growth targets with the state and that ODE/ESD teams would assist in drafting attainable targets.
Board members asked how targets are set and what happens if targets are not met; S4 said the state may require targeted assistance if goals are not pursued and that districts could decline the funding stream if they chose not to participate. When asked about timeline, S4 said the draft targets would likely be available in June and that the district could work with ODE if adjustments were needed.
S2 moved to approve the 2025'27 integrated guidance; the transcript records a second and continued discussion but does not include a clear roll-call or recorded outcome in the provided segments. The superintendent invited public comment and offered to follow up with community members in the room about questions.
The discussion frames the district's near-term budget choices: staffing in literacy and math, continued support for CTE offerings, and use of SIA and HSS funds. Board and staff emphasized the supports are aimed at attendance and progress markers (third-grade reading proficiency, ninth-grade on-track, on-time graduation) and that administrative staff would return with more detail as the budget committee finalizes proposals.
