Board reviews and approves $700,000 Student Investment Act application
Summary
Interim superintendent Heidi presented the district’s Student Investment Act application — roughly $700,000 in funds — and the board voted to accept the application after public presentation and required comment period.
Interim superintendent Heidi presented the district’s Student Investment Act (SIA) application to the board and described allowable uses, progress markers and reporting requirements.
"Our district receives a good amount of money. It's about $700,000," Heidi said while outlining how the SIA funds will be used to support mental and behavioral health, academic supports, instructional assistants and high-school success programs. She summarized reporting and monitoring expectations in the application, including quarterly and annual reports to the Oregon Department of Education.
Heidi described specific progress markers the district set for the 2025–27 biennium, including targets for 3rd-grade literacy, 4-year graduation and regular attendance. She noted small cohort sizes can swing percentages and said some goals were adjusted because baseline cohorts were under 10 students.
After the presentation and the required invitation for public comment, the board voted to accept the SIA application (voice vote recorded as 4-0-1). The acceptance authorizes the district to submit the application and draw down SIA funds under the state’s monitoring rules.
