Board unanimously approves South Coast ESD Local Service Plan after presentation by ESD superintendent
Summary
The Coquille School District board voted to approve the South Coast ESD Local Service Plan after a presentation from Paul Peterson of South Coast ESD, who said the plan preserves district flexibility and largely mirrors last year’s plan.
Paul Peterson, superintendent of South Coast ESD, told the Coquille School District board that the Local Service Plan on the agenda was “largely unchanged from the LSP you approved last year” and is intended to give districts flexibility in selecting services from a menu of offerings. He said the plan was reviewed and approved earlier by area superintendents on Nov. 20 and by the South Coast ESD board on Dec. 9.
After brief questions from board members, a motion to approve item 8.1 (the Local Service Plan) was made by Steve and seconded by Marsha; the board approved the item by voice vote. Peterson described the plan’s structure, noting it distinguishes between tier 1 core services (a small portion of ESD resolution dollars) and tier 2 services — the larger, district‑chosen menu that comprises roughly 95% of those funds. "This LSP is designed to provide the maximum flexibility to each district and how they want to use their ESD resolution dollars," Peterson said.
Why it matters: approval of the LSP clears the district to participate in South Coast ESD’s planned regional services and allocations for the coming year, a procedural step required before districts use ESD‑administered funds and services. The motion passed by voice vote; no roll call tally was recorded in the transcript.
