Superintendent reports preliminary bond planning and Title IX policy changes; board expresses caution on OAK settlement
Summary
Superintendent Brad Reyburn told the board the district has begun preliminary talks with firms about a future bond and possible new construction, and flagged upcoming Title IX policy changes. The board also expressed concern about pursuing a settlement with OAK and potential legal fees.
During leadership reports at the June 17 meeting Superintendent Brad Reyburn said he and a colleague have begun meeting with firms about a possible future bond and new construction and that they met this week with the Skillman Group to explore options. Reyburn also flagged forthcoming policy work, identifying Title IX as the most significant change and promising an update in July.
Reyburn told the board he met with an OAK representative who proposed a settlement on a bill the district believes remains outstanding; Reyburn said he has discussed the offer with the district’s lawyer. Board members later expressed concern about accepting a settlement with OAK given prior financial issues with the company and noted the lawyer fees could exceed the likely settlement amount.
The minutes record these items as discussion; no motions or formal direction to settle with OAK or to move forward with bond planning were recorded. Reyburn’s report frames planning as preliminary and subject to future board consideration.
