Superintendent outlines outcomes, funding buckets and staffing shifts
Summary
Superintendent Beth reviewed district outcomes and described funding buckets (early literacy, early intervention, high‑school success, student investment account), a proposed reading specialist hire, and a shift of shop teacher funding to create ELD positions; she noted per‑student allocations used for data systems.
During the administrative reports Superintendent Beth reviewed the district's established outcomes and how the district is aligning limited grant dollars to achieve them. Beth said the district concentrated funds into a smaller set of strategies and highlighted early literacy as a new requirement: "We utilize those funds to pay for most of our elective teachers, our preschool so that it doesn't have a general fund..." she explained.
Beth gave specifics about how grant buckets are spent and programming changes intended to target outcomes. She said the district receives a per‑unit allocation and must choose how to use it: "we only get $1,570 every time," Beth said, noting the district uses that money to pay for the Oregon data suite and to support staffing for K–3 instruction. Beth explained the district shifted resources away from a standalone shop teacher position and is proposing a half‑time ELD position at the secondary level plus half‑time coverage for sixth‑grade multiple subjects to support transitions to middle school.
