Board discusses bond planning, OSCIM grant eligibility; weighs May vs. November 2026 election
Summary
Board members reviewed completed facility assessments that could make the district eligible for an OSCIM grant with a potential match increase from $4 million to $6 million and discussed whether to target May 2026 or November 2026 for a bond election.
Directors reviewed background work that would support a potential capital construction bond and discussed next steps for public engagement and timing.
Director Jose Aparicio told the board that completion of a Facility Condition Assessment and Fertility Planning Data report positions the district to be eligible for an Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching (OSCIM) Grant, noting the match potential may increase "from $4 million to $6 million." Staff presented a tentative timeline and said the earliest feasible election would be May 2026 given the preparation required; November 2026 was offered as an alternative allowing more community engagement.
Board members requested to review assessment results before selecting a target election date, and staff indicated a work session would be scheduled to review details and consultant recommendations. No formal bond resolution or ballot decision was made during the meeting.
