Myrtle Point SD 41 reviews SIA spending, safety upgrades and seismic grant timing
Summary
Superintendent presented the district's Integrated Annual (SIA) report, reviewed spending ($569,276 SIA last year; $135,873 on high-school-success programs; $48,986 early literacy), safety investments and a pending seismic grant estimated at $2.5 million for interior work with possible additional exterior funding.
The Myrtle Point SD 41 superintendent presented the district's Integrated Annual Report (SIA) and a fiscal overview, outlining program spending, safety upgrades and planning for a seismic grant.
The presentation said the district received roughly $569,276 in SIA funds last year. The superintendent reported $135,873 spent from the high-school-success allocation on personnel and projects tied to counseling, career planning and elective supports; the district also reported $48,986 received for early literacy, used to fund a literacy coach and curriculum for elementary reading programs.
The superintendent described safety investments paid from SIA and related funds, including perimeter fencing at a campus, magnetic door locks at the district office and additional security cameras. He said the district has seen improvement in four- and five-year graduation rates and that staff focus includes social-emotional supports paid through those funds.
On capital planning, the superintendent said the district will apply for a seismic grant due in early January, with award announcements expected in April or May; because of grant and procurement timelines, he said construction would likely occur in the summer of 2026. The superintendent estimated the grant would cover an interior phase — he cited a $2,500,000 grant figure as a likely single-grant amount — and said a second grant could fund exterior work so that, together, roughly $5,000,000 could be available to address interior and exterior work on the building. He noted that district staff or a contracted project manager would oversee construction if the award is received.
Board members asked follow-up questions about barriers to progress. The superintendent pointed to enrollment-related staff pressures, COVID-era learning and social-emotional impacts, and housing instability that had contributed to a small short-term enrollment decline. The board also discussed schedule changes and staffing impacts including a pending part-time band posting after a resignation and proposed adjustments to daily schedules to reduce large class sizes.
The board accepted the SIA report and moved to approve it as part of the meeting consent items; the transcript records motions and voice approvals but does not contain a roll-call vote tally in the recorded text.
