North Marion board elects Crystal Rostasil chair, Jenny Scott vice chair; approves routine business
Summary
At its July meeting the North Marion School District board re-elected Crystal Rostasil as chair and Jenny Scott as vice chair, approved $100,000 fidelity bonds, adopted a 2026–27 budget calendar (Option 1) and made several other routine approvals including an amendment to the superintendents contract and formation of an equity advisory work group.
Crystal Rostasil was affirmed as chair of the North Marion School District Board of Directors and Jenny Scott was approved as vice chair for the 2025–26 year during the boards July meeting.
The board conducted a roll-call voice vote on the chair and vice chair nominations after receiving a single nomination in each case. With all members present who voted, both offices were approved. The board then moved through routine business and formal motions.
Board action included a motion to set fidelity bonds for district employees who access financial systems at a principal sum of $100,000 for 2025–26. The business manager explained that $100,000 is the districts standard bonding level; the motion passed by voice vote.
On the budget calendar, staff presented two options to satisfy Oregon publication deadlines. The board adopted Option 1, which schedules the budget committee meetings in mid-May to allow adequate preparation and more accurate revenue estimates. "I recommend option number 1," staff said during the presentation. The motion passed by voice vote.
Other approved items included establishing the regular business meeting dates for 2025 and 2026, amending language in the superintendents contract to clarify holiday and vacation-day treatment so the superintendent would not need to take PTO when the district is closed, and approving the superintendents advisory work group for equitable experiences and outcomes (formed to meet requirements tied to Senate Bill 732). The consent agenda, which contained routine personnel items (notably a hired boyss basketball coach and an ongoing search for the girlss coach, plus a school psychologist replacement), was also approved.
