Oregon School District previews 2025–26 priorities: curb phone distraction and later Monday start for students
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Leslie Bergstrom presented the Readiness for Learning Framework and described two proposed initiatives for 2025–26: measures to reduce phone distraction in class and shifting Monday start times one hour later to allow teacher collaboration.
Superintendent Dr. Leslie Bergstrom presented an overview of the district’s Readiness for Learning Framework at the Feb. 10 School Board meeting and identified two initiatives proposed as the focus for the 2025–26 school year.
The first initiative is aimed at reducing phone distraction in classrooms; the minutes describe it as measures to limit the impact of students’ phones on instruction. The second proposal would move student start times one hour later each Monday to provide time for teachers to collaborate in Professional Learning Communities. Both items were presented as information; the minutes record no formal vote or adoption and direct readers to more information on the district website.
District leaders described the materials shown at the meeting and noted where additional information is posted at www.OregonSD.org/board. Board members were informed of committee schedules for continued planning (Vision Steering Committee meeting scheduled for Feb. 26). Next steps implied by the minutes include continued development and committee review before any formal action is taken by the Board.
