Superintendent says federal funding for some programs is on hold; SB 141 awaiting state interpretation
Summary
The superintendent told the board that some federal program funding (including Title 2, Title 1c and Title 4) has been temporarily put on hold and that Senate Bill 141, recently signed by the governor, is awaiting interpretation by the Oregon Department of Education.
In the superintendent’s report the district was alerted to two developments that could affect next year’s budget and programs. The superintendent said Senate Bill 141 has been signed into law and the district is awaiting guidance from the Oregon Department of Education on interpretation.
Separately, the superintendent reported notice that certain federal program funds have been temporarily put on hold. The superintendent said, "There's been an emergency, statewide superintendent meeting called for tomorrow," and that some federal funding streams — explicitly cited as Title 2, Title 1c and Title 4 — were on a federal hold pending review for fraud, waste, and abuse. The superintendent said the district is monitoring the situation and will circulate updates to the board after the statewide meeting.
Board members asked whether all federal funding was affected; the superintendent said the hold included Title 2 funds and mentioned it did not include Title 1a but did include Title 1c and Title 4 in the hold list. The superintendent said they expected to send updated information to board members following the statewide meeting.
