Philomath SD 17J board moves makeup days, reschedules audit presentation and approves annual alternative program
Summary
The board discussed proposed makeup days that would move student last day to June 13 and staff last work day to June 16, approved the annual alternative education program, and voted to reschedule the financial audit presentation to March (motion passed 5-0).
The Philomath School District 17J board considered calendar adjustments to make up recent snow days, approved the district's annual alternative education program, and voted to schedule the financial audit presentation for the March board meeting.
Administrators proposed using Friday, May 23 as a student makeup day and converting the previously scheduled half day on June 12 into a full day for students, which would set the final student day as Friday, June 13 and move licensed staff's last work day to Monday, June 16. Board members raised concerns about staff who had booked vacation for that Monday and asked staff to analyze the effect across employee classification groups and the district's student‑instructional‑minute requirements.
The board approved the district's annual alternative education program as presented, with a minor correction to a document label noted for follow‑up. Later in the meeting the board moved (mover not specified), seconded and approved the financial audit scheduling; auditors who could not attend this week will present the full audit at the March meeting. The motion passed by a 5‑0 vote.
No supplemental appropriations were adopted at the meeting; the superintendent flagged that increased pool usage and food service costs may require attention to appropriations later in the year and that staff have discussed potential steps with the auditors.
