School board approves consent agenda, GRAMA/grant awards and cooperative athletics applications; adopts instructional‑time practice and updated restraint forms
Summary
The Klamath County School District Board approved the consent agenda and GRAMA/grant awards, approved cooperative/collective athletics applications (including a wrestling collective), accepted first reading of several policy updates related to instructional time, and accepted updated restraints/seclusion reporting forms aligned with ODE templates.
At a regular meeting of the Klamath County School District Board, members approved routine and action items including the consent agenda, GRAMA/grant awards and several cooperative athletics applications.
A board member moved to accept the consent agenda and another member seconded; a verbal vote was called and the motion passed. The board then approved GRAMA/grant awards with a stated minimum amount of $30,519.28.
The board reviewed policy updates and administrative regulations: staff clarified which administrative regulations were informational and which required board action. The board approved a first reading related to the instructional time calculation and affirmed continuing the district’s practice of counting certain professional development and parent conference time within instructional‑time calculations (a practice staff said avoids calendar and transportation disruptions given the district’s 170‑day calendar).
On athletics, the board approved collective/cooperative applications that allow small schools to share resources for individual sports. The board approved a wrestling collective involving Bonanza and Lost River (and related cooperative arrangements). Staff explained the difference between collectives (resource sharing without combining ADM for classification) and cooperatives (which combine ADM and affect classification).
Administration presented updated, streamlined forms for tracking restraints and seclusions. Staff said forms were revised to match Oregon Department of Education templates and improve compliance (timely parent notifications, annual posting of aggregate counts, and clearer internal workflows). The board accepted these informational updates and took motioned actions where required.
The board later moved into and emerged from executive session to discuss a memorandum of understanding; after executive session the board voted to approve the MOU by roll call/voiced ayes.
Motions and most votes were taken by verbal aye counts on the record; the board did not record a roll‑call tally with named votes in the public transcript excerpt.
