Tigard‑Tualatin board adopts updated strategic financial plan outlining $108M in targeted investments
Summary
The board adopted the district's 2026 strategic financial plan, connecting investments to strategic priorities (social‑emotional learning, academic transitions, instructional coaching, early learning) and noting budget constraints from rising PERS costs; the plan frames about $108 million of identified investments across the five‑year window.
The Tigard‑Tualatin School District board adopted an updated strategic financial plan on June 22 that itemizes multi‑year investments tied to the district strategic plan and priorities.
Presenters said the strategic financial plan is the district's tool to translate strategic priorities into financial commitments. The plan identifies four priority investments — social‑emotional learning, academic transitions, instructional coaching and early learning — and integrates those with district guidance derived from community feedback. Staff reported integrated investments of about $108 million across the identified initiatives over the planning horizon.
Dr. Patterson summarized results to date: modest increases in reading and mathematics outcomes in some grade cohorts, a 20% year‑over‑year increase in PBIS fidelity, mixed mid‑year on‑track measures that improved by year end, and noted the need to extend some job‑embedded professional development gains to classified staff. Presenters also highlighted the fiscal context: rising PERS obligations have constrained capacity to fund all priorities at "optimal" levels, requiring prioritization.
A motion to adopt the Tigard‑Tualatin strategic financial plan dated June 22, 2026, was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. The board directed staff to continue updating metrics and to monitor implementation as part of annual budgeting and reporting.
