Siuslaw trustees review student calendar, integrated‑guidance budget items and early‑literacy grant plans
Summary
The board reviewed and tentatively approved the 2025–26 student‑calendar draft, discussed integrated guidance budgeting adjustments, and advanced an early‑literacy grant application that would fund a literacy coach for the district.
On March 12 the Siuslaw School District administration presented several operational items: a draft student calendar for 2025–26 (start the Tuesday after Labor Day; curriculum instruction days on Aug. 22, Oct. 24 and Jan. 5) and integrated‑guidance and early‑literacy grant proposals for the 2025–27 biennium. The board received the integrated‑guidance packet, which includes student‑investment and high‑school success grant items, and noted a roughly $112 budget discrepancy that administration said it would resolve before April action.
The early‑literacy plan would secure curriculum, staff training and a literacy coach; administrators proposed using a $76,000 carryover from the previous biennium plus a 25% local match to fund the coach. The health curriculum adoption process (2025–2032 cycle) was announced for public review April 9–May 9, with adoption expected in May. Board members asked for follow‑up budget clarifications and for staff to return final grant applications for April approval.
