Board flags potential state bill that could cut after‑school funding; members urge family notification
Summary
Board members, citing an OSBA update, expressed concern about a proposed bill that could eliminate after‑school program funding and urged prompt notification to families if the bill advances; the board discussed fundraising options to sustain scholarship support.
Board member Greg Kintz reported on Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) work and flagged concern about a bill that could eliminate funding for after‑school programs. Kintz said the district should alert families quickly if the bill fails to move forward, because the potential loss of funding would make childcare and after‑school care difficult for many families.
Separately, the Scholarship Committee discussed potential fundraising to maintain scholarships. Board members agreed early communication with families is important and asked staff to monitor the bill’s progress and provide updates to the community as needed.
