Board adopts IMESD Local Service Plan resolution
Summary
The Pendleton School District board unanimously approved Resolution 2025-02 to adopt the InterMountain ESD Local Service Plan for 2025–26, noting HB 3184 consolidated the resolutions process and citing ORS 334.175 approval criteria.
The Pendleton School District Board of Directors unanimously approved Resolution 2025-02 to adopt the InterMountain Education Service District (IMESD) Local Service Plan for 2025–26. Director Ryan Lehnert moved approval; Director Jill Pace seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Board materials presented the state legislation context, saying HB 3184 merged the annual resolutions process into a joint local service plan developed with component districts. The minutes quote the statutory approval threshold: 'two-thirds of the component districts, with at least 50 percent of the students, must vote in favor of the plan (ORS 334.175(5)(a)(b).' The board did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes but noted unanimous support for the district’s vote on the plan.
The local service plan, as described in board documents, must enumerate services IMESD will provide, including programs for children with special needs, technology support and plans, school improvement services, and administrative and support services for component districts. The board’s approval sends Pendleton’s assent to IMESD for inclusion in the IMESD-wide vote process under Oregon law.
Next steps described in the materials include IMESD’s final consideration and a possible amendment process requiring the same constituent-district voting threshold under ORS 334.175(6).
