SIA and Measure 98 grants cited as essential funding cushions for Oregon Trail SD 46
Summary
Staff said the Student Investment Account (SIA) is estimated at $4.21M for 2026–27 for the district, Measure 98/High School Success is estimated at $1.31M, and Early Literacy Success at $287k—each incorporated into the district’s integrated plan.
Tim Belanger summarized major grant funding that supports district programs and helps stabilize general-fund services.
"2026-27 funding is estimated at $4.21M for OTSD" for the Student Investment Account (SIA), Belanger said, adding that SIA is largely funded by the corporate activity (CAT) tax created by HB 3427. He said SIA now functions as a backstop to maintain continuity in some programs while supporting new initiatives.
Belanger also described Measure 98/High School Success funding (estimated $1.31M) and Early Literacy Success (estimated $287k), noting ODE has folded these grants into the district’s integrated plan. He cautioned that grant administration is cumbersome and that some allocations—especially ELS—are insufficient to cover certain program costs.
Budget committee members acknowledged the grants’ role but noted administrative complexity and volatility in state grant allocations.
