The board approved the ratified OSEA contract (effective 07/01/2025–06/30/2028), awarded a Deer Creek roof contract to Anderson Roofing not to exceed $305,739, adopted 2026–27 fees including meal price adjustments, approved internal appropriation and fund‑balance modifications, and adopted a $515,689,771 budget.
The Tigard‑Tualatin School District board approved multiple action items including a ratified collective bargaining agreement with the Oregon School Employees Association (OSEA), a roof restoration contract for Deer Creek Elementary, proposed fees for 2026–27, two budget resolutions and the district’s 2026–27 budget.
OSEA contract: Director Bailey (speaker S7) presented the ratified contract with OSEA chapter 51 and recommended board approval. Director Jaime moved to approve the collective bargaining agreement between Tigard‑Tualatin School District and Oregon School Employees Association, chapter 51, effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, and to authorize the superintendent or designee to execute the agreement. The motion was seconded and the board approved the contract.
Deer Creek roof contract: The board considered a contract for the flat portion restoration of the Deer Creek Elementary roof. Staff said five bids were received under cooperative purchasing and the low bidder was Anderson Roofing, a vendor used during the prior bond cycle. The low bid amount presented was $305,739. The board voted to award the contract to Anderson Roofing Company, Inc. via the AEPA Intermountain Education Service District cooperative for an amount not to exceed $305,739; the motion carried unanimously.
Fees for 2026–27: Staff presented the annual fee schedule. The packet lists an out‑of‑district tuition amount of $11,768, a proposed 5% increase to facility use fees and related hourly labor, and meal price recommendations: second breakfast $3.50, milk $1.50 and adult lunches $6.75. Staff confirmed that first breakfast and first lunch will remain free for students. The board adopted the proposed fees as presented.
Budget adjustments and fund‑balance modification: The board approved Resolution 25‑26‑21, an appropriation transfer totaling $130,000 to enterprise/community services ($80,000 from instructional services and $50,000 from support services) to comply with local budget law requirements. The board also adopted Resolution 25‑26‑26, a DBDB fund balance modification for the 26‑27 budget that sets operating contingency at 1.5% and a sustainability reserve of 0% for the coming year; staff noted the resulting 6.5% total reserves would cover less than one month of operating expenses.
Adoption of 2026–27 budget: The board adopted Resolution 25‑26‑27, the district’s 2026–27 budget. Staff described the resolution as adopting a total budget of $515,689,771, appropriating eight district funds, imposing taxes including a permanent rate levy listed as 4.9892 per $1,000 and a local option levy listed in the packet as $1,001 per $1,000 assessed value, and calling for taxes required for voter‑approved general obligation debt amounting to $42,005,900. Staff noted that estimated assessed taxes were lower than earlier communications to the community and that the district will continue to monitor assessed values.
Votes and outcome: Each motion described above was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting; the chair announced that motions carried.
