Siuslaw board approves Lane ESD 2025-27 local service plan (year 1)
Summary
The board approved Lane ESD's streamlined 2025-27 local service plan (year 1), which shifts some services into the core, expands career-academy offerings and relies heavily on grants and contracts (about 65% of funding), with 35% from the state school fund.
The Siuslaw School District Board approved Lane Education Service District's proposed 2025-27 local service plan (year 1) after a second reading and brief director questions about service delivery and funding. Lane ESD presenters described a substantially shortened document intended for superintendent and board audiences that clarifies which services are core (funded by all districts) and which are menu or custom services districts can opt into.
Lane ESD superintendent Tony Scardo described the funding mix and program design, noting that "35% of what we get comes from the state school fund," and explained that about 65% of the ESD's operating budget now comes from grants and contracts. Directors asked about courier services, sharing CTE kits, and how expanding core services affects district allocations; presenters said the intent is consistency and shared value across the county. The board approved the plan as presented and recorded the adoption as resolution 021225-6.1.
