Superintendent Kim Kellison presented her preliminary goals for the district, listing Goal #1 as "Fiscally Fit," Goal #2 as "Culturally Responsive Instructional Leadership and Improvement," and Goal #3 as "Visionary District Leadership." She reviewed the goals with the board and solicited feedback.
Kellison also reported the district is in compliance with Division 22 standards except for adopting health curriculum for grades 9-12; she said the Oregon Department of Education has granted an extension through the end of the year for a team to review and adopt materials. Kellison shared state-level budget context, noting a reported state deficit of $373 million, guidance to prepare for budget reductions of 1-3% (with agencies asked to consider 2-5%), and that the state has $4 billion in reserves but accessing the rainy day fund requires legislative approval.
