Eagle Point SD 9 reviews integrated-program progress; district cites reductions to SEL supports and targeted staffing moves
Summary
EPSD9 presented its 2024–25 Integrated Programs Annual Report. District officials said they hired a special-education teacher to reduce a large caseload, retained some CTE and counselor positions while reducing certain SEL positions, and noted barriers from declining enrollment affecting program continuity.
At the Sept. 24 meeting, district staff reviewed the 2024–25 Integrated Programs Annual Report and reflected on progress toward local goals, Longitudinal Performance Growth Targets and Local Optional Metrics.
District responses in the packet noted that a strategy that "made an immediate impact was hiring a special education teacher to serve students at our alternative secondary school and relieve numbers on a large caseload at one of our middle schools." Staff also reported reduced funding for some social-emotional learning and mental-health positions due to shifting SIA allocations and declining enrollment; the district said it is partnering with Jackson County Mental Health to fill gaps. The packet listed school-level metrics (e.g., district 4-year cohort rate 81.33% as of Sept. 17, 2025) and described targeted interventions such as expanded tutoring, PLC time and industry tours.
Crater Lake Academy (CLA) submitted a separate response outlining improved graduation interventions (regular academic reviews, additional staffing leading to projected higher on-time graduation). District leaders said these strategies will continue and that they will report metric updates in future board sessions.
