Board adopts 2025–26 goals, discusses Division 22 assurances and OSBA policy audits; personal electronic device policy approved
Summary
The board adopted district goals for 2025–26, reviewed Division 22 assurances to the state and options for an OSBA policy audit (desk review recommended), and approved a new personal electronic device policy with an optional administrative regulation for medical exemptions.
The Monroe SD 1J board adopted its 2025–26 goals and considered broader policy- and compliance-related items, including Division 22 assurances to the state education agency and options for an OSBA policy audit.
Committee member (S1) read and moved to approve the 2025–26 board goals: a) invest in and improve K–8 literacy and math; b) continue to build and expand career-related learning across the district; c) increase family and community communication at all levels, including social media; and d) maintain a five-year districtwide maintenance plan. The motion carried on a voice vote.
Staff member (S3) briefed the board on Division 22 standards and described three OSBA (Oregon School Boards Association–style) audit options: an intensive in-person audit (approximate cost cited at $8,500), a desk review (cited around $7,800) and a minimal review. Staff recommended the desk audit as a practical option to pair with the Division 22 policy-review work and noted the audit process typically takes about a year and a half.
The board also considered personal electronic device policy changes (JFCED / JFCEBD-AR). Staff described an optional administrative regulation to permit medical exemptions (for example, diabetes monitoring). A motion to approve the policy in reading/application was made and the board moved to adopt the personal electronic device policy; principals and administrators will align building practices and manage exemptions.
