Vernonia board reviews $965,918.99 integrated-plan application to ODE
Summary
Superintendent presented a first reading of an integrated planning submission seeking $965,918.99 for nine consolidated programs; priorities include mental-health supports, math intervention, CTE staffing and k–12 curriculum adoptions.
Superintendent (S6) told the Vernonia School District board that the district submitted an integrated planning application to the Oregon Department of Education seeking $965,918.99 for nine programs covering student investment, early literacy, high-school success and other state-aligned funds.
"For the next biennium, our district is going to receive $965,918.99 for these 9 programs," Superintendent (S6) said, emphasizing the proposal ties funding to community engagement, needs assessments and measurable progress markers. He said the plan consolidates multiple program requirements into a single 35-page submission and requires a distinct rationale and community input for each funded activity.
The superintendent outlined top priorities identified through empathy interviews, surveys and leadership teams: mental-health services, targeted math interventions, and increased student voice and family engagement. He said the district intends to maintain existing successful programs and allocate funds to staffing described in the plan, including a grad coach, instructional assistants and CTE teachers.
Board members asked about specific budget items and implementation timelines; Superintendent (S6) said the district will use a shared planning approach to prioritize hires and program expansions if additional funds become available. The plan now moves to public review and a formal ODE review process that could include negotiation before final grant agreements are issued.
