Perrydale board approves extension of certified contracts, reviews gym repairs and completes superintendent evaluation
Summary
The board approved Resolution 26-04 to extend certified contracts under recent changes to House Bill 2900, reviewed an insurance-directed plan to dry a damaged gym floor, and approved the superintendent's evaluation before moving to executive session under ORS 192.602(2)(d).
Chair Kim Bell opened board business items and moved to approve Resolution 26-04, an annual extension of certified contracts. The superintendent explained that House Bill 2900 changed how prior probationary years from other districts are counted, citing staff examples (Kirk Fairchild, Michael Connor, Cali Northwell) who would now meet contract-year thresholds. Kim Bell moved to approve Resolution 26-04; the motion received a second, board members voted "Aye," and the chair announced the motion passed.
On facilities, the superintendent described a water intrusion incident that flooded parts of the school (girl's bathroom, gym, hallways) after a cracked sprinkler connection. Contractors created a sealed box around part of the gym floor and installed about 16 blowers to run for roughly a month to dry the plywood under the floor; the district will reassess progress in approximately three weeks. The superintendent said the method was recommended by the district's insurance company and the flooring contractor, and staff plan to replace at least two sensors (possibly up to four) that failed to alert earlier. The superintendent said the district had the fire system tested and that staff would certify the sensors once replaced.
The board also received a brief special-education update: there are 34 students currently served under individualized education programs (IEPs). Board members commended staff for professional development and partnerships, including a recent visit to the Washington School for the Blind.
Separately, the chair presented superintendent evaluation materials, noting she would tabulate the results and submit them as required. The board voted to approve the evaluation. At the end of the meeting the chair announced the board would move into executive session under ORS 192.602(2)(d) to conduct deliberations with persons designated by the governing body to carry out negotiations.
No formal vote tallies with individual member names were recorded in the transcript for the motions; the meeting log records voice votes and the chair's announcement that each motion passed.
