Board members supported Superintendent Klinger’s proposal to include school facility tours (Gresham High, Hall Elementary, West Orient Middle) in the strategic planning retreat to ground budget conversations; tours will avoid formal board business and include a debrief.

Chair Blake Petersen and Superintendent Tracy Klinger outlined a proposal to include school tours in the district’s strategic planning retreat so board members can see facilities firsthand to inform budget and facilities discussions.

Suggested stops include Gresham High School to view newer and older sections and investments such as turf, Hall Elementary to observe space usage and specialized programs, and West Orient Middle School, noted in the Long-Range Facilities Plan as needing attention. The board agreed the tours should not include formal board business and recommended a debrief at the meeting’s end to surface observations and questions.
