Grants Pass SD 7 board reviews integrated plan funding and approves related consent items
Summary
The Grants Pass SD 7 board reviewed the district's integrated plan, heard that the biennial allocation totals about $15 million (roughly $7.77 million in 2025'26), and approved action items covering plan components. Staff said the state assigns allowable-use codes and the district will submit the plan by the state deadline.
The Grants Pass SD 7 Board of Directors reviewed the district's integrated plan and approved related consent items after staff outlined where the state'allocated funds will be used. A presenter said the biennial package covering the district and affiliated programs totals about $15,000,000, with $7,766,861.38 budgeted for 2025'26 and $8,166,204.99 for the following year.
The presenter said the allotment covers early intervention systems, early literacy, high-school supports and student-investment accounts and that the budget includes roughly 132 positions or portions of positions tied to the grants. "These are the people and programs we're using the money to purchase," the presenter said, listing stepping-stones teachers, instructional assistants, local mental-health providers and a homeless liaison as examples.
Board members asked for clearer presentation of line items and state codes. One member asked whether the district was planning to spend roughly $794,385.65 over two years on a 2.5-FTE package; staff replied the dollar figures are "fully loaded" (salary plus insurance and benefits) and that staff will provide a cheat sheet and budget slides with the code-to-use explanations.
Member Schmidt moved to approve action items covering the integrated-plan components listed as items 5.1 through 5.6. The motion was seconded and the board moved forward after a short pause to allow for public comment; staff said the final plan must be approved by the board and submitted to the state by the statutory deadline.
Why it matters: the integrated plan bundles multiple state-funded programs and staffing decisions into a biennial package that determines how the district will deploy state-allocated resources for interventions, literacy, mental-health supports and high-school success initiatives. The board asked staff to make future budgets easier to read and to provide clear mappings between state allowable-use codes and local line items.
Next steps: staff will finalize the submission for state review and circulate the line-item breakdown and cheat sheet to board members and the public. The board also scheduled follow-up policy and budget meetings to complete related administrative regulations.
