And now item three, we go on to our AHS student representative, Qu. >> So, I'm Quinn Gore. I play football, basketball, and track. Um, currently in the works of getting my associates degree before I graduate high school. Um, I'm a member in our leadership class and I enjoy beach volleyball, surfing, and fishing. Um, what's happened so far in our fall sports is football has played two games as well as volleyball. Volleyball is 2 and0. The soccer girls have played

005one game in a jamboree and the boys have played two games. Uh, cross country started and Apple are I guess leader in a way. Well, Langman took second at his race. We also had ninth grade orientation. It was amazing race style with clues on to get you to the next classroom where there was different stations on how students would get to know their classmates and teachers better or learn things about our school like our own mo where things are located and what we do in advance on Monday and Tuesday of this week. The fall play is you can't take it with you and there's an undetermined date when this will be performed. Um, some upcoming events we have is football goes to the Dallas on Friday. Uh, cross country goes to Merryweather Golf Course. Volleyball

006has a tournament in Spraw. Soccer has their first home game on Thursday, September 11th against Esticada. and the leadership class or the school is holding class elections for ASB and uh class representatives. Some of the positions are business manager, activities director, member at large and a president from the senior and junior class with two representatives and three representatives from the freshman sophomore class. Um for homecoming we the theme is high school musical. Um, there will be classic clash games for soccer and volleyball. We will have our annual buoy ball and bonfire ball, which is where the boys play volleyball and the girls play football and a possible football game depending on if our opponent has enough peak. >> Who we slated to play? I believe it's Gladstone, but they have 20 20 football players right

007now. So, >> they forfeited their first couple of games. >> Great. Thank you. >> Item four is our consent agenda. This is an action item. Move to approve the consent agenda. >> I'll second it. >> All those in favor. >> Anybody opposed? >> Item five is reportable reports. Hire a teacher at the end of August, which is a situation I've never been in before. Uh, but I found Jen. So, I was so first day in town before conferences and she's great. She's the only one here. Um, I'll be wearing a leisure for a couple months because we're ready. I mean, anytime you have 125 people under the age of five, five and under, we're moving. And so, that's what we're doing. It's just, it happens every year. there's just a lot of learning um you

008know about you can't signal to your teacher you need different yourself and all of that. So that's what we're doing right now. Um and it's definitely well I'm grateful for Kate's hard work because we just have a really great start. Kids are coming in really solid, really ready to to learn. Um classrooms are going smoothly. Um yeah, it's been really good. I've been able to uh be in classrooms while they're teaching um our reading curriculum. And the really one of the really cool things I've seen is that the curriculum refers back to the previous year and teachers will talk about a unit that they had last year and the kids are all like, "Oh yeah, we totally did that. We totally talked about that." So the excitement is almost immediate and there's lots of engagement.

009Been really pleased with with how smoothly things are going right now. So, just like Eva said, I got Eva last Friday and told her how tickled we are with our incoming sixth graders. They It's been amazing. The start to the school year has come very smoothly. Um, kids are just picking it up and staff is it's all biting so well. Uh, this week we have pretty much wrapped up our star testing. There's a few hints that we need to make up. um our attendance uh Ry's working real hard and she's going out there and as Mr. Hoppus mentioned there's some kids that we have relationships with. So right now that's our biggest obstacle is trying to get students that historically have had issues back into school. So that's our biggest obstacle. All of our sports

010are up and going. Um we had a gallery last weekend that went really well. um is a big fundraiser for our BPA and so thanks they went out there and manned that but everything's off and running. It's going great. >> I'll continue the theme. Thank you, Principal Breck. It has been smooth beginning for our school year with the incoming freshman class. They are very dialed in. They have a great reputation tell the truth coming in as students. So we have found that to be true and we're excited to welcome them to High School. One of the things that we have as a a strategic plan pillar is our workforce, right? That's the pillar that we have. And one of the things that has been solidified in the master schedule and culture of Australia High School

011is the cadet or careers and education program. And this year again, I think it could be the largest number of students we have. We have 26 of them that are spread throughout K2, 3,5, and then 6A at the middle school. But this year we expanded it to participate in Bumble. So we have a number of students that are placed there for their locations of mentoring and doing that cadet teaching program. So we're really excited about that. And there are other points on the agenda later on today that I'll discuss. So, I ran some preliminary numbers um from this stressful department and um it feels like we kind of know a little bit to expect the unexpected in the beginning here, but we have had a lot of families move in with children who have special

012education needs and um so I want to share a number with you and then kind of provide some context for that. Um all in all in all all students receiving special ed um services as of right now uh are 355 and um that's the comparing that to the last couple numbers I could get which were board presentations that's one more than we had last April. The tricky thing with that number though is we also lost one whole class of seniors. So, typically at this point in the year, and I don't have last year's data, um I I can get that, but I don't I couldn't get it today, but typically with that loss of the senior class in referrals not yet happening at Aster, we're usually a lot lower than this. So, we're basically um

013last December we were at 17% of our population um was receiving special education work for 11%. In April, we were at 19% and now we're at 20%. So, we're starting the year at 20%. And we're going to have referrals. So, it's just something that we're keeping an eye on and um working through. So, beginning of the year for me is really just about making sure our teachers have all the curriculum and can access it online. So, just a lot of problem sol problem solving the last couple weeks, but I think we're pretty much there. Um, I got a lot of really good feedback about our district-wide service and then we're already starting to plan the next one on October 10th. And I'm just really excited through the the new literacy grant that we got through

014the government that we were able federal government that we were able to get a reading specialist at the reading interventionist at the middle school and she's off to a really great start. >> We're currently serving around 1,080 meals a day and it's a little bit less than we did last year. I think last year we did about 1,200. Um we're testing some new items on the menu. Um, we're doing like these salad shakers at the high school that have the fruits and vegetables, um, hard-boiled eggs and they're they're going pretty well. Um, we got barbecue car chicken chicken teriyak chicken and brown rice bowls that are coming to the schools. Hopefully, they like those. And then all the kitchen staff finished their required um professional development training already for the year. >> And transportation is

015going really well. It's a good start to the school year. Um we had about 75 people on the wait list and they're all on the wait list as of today with a couple of joined. So we have more to fill if that's it. >> Uh we closed out last year we did 280 more quarters. last year and all of our buildings. Um, and we're moving with this shirt. I'm so grateful to still fit t-shirts. >> All right. Thank you guys. Item B and C were covered during divorce session. So, we'll move on to item D, the finance reform. Um, so I in the board packet I kind of went over a little bit description of a couple of different terms that we often talk about just either a fresher or newer people. We often talk

016about cash flow and that is the net amount of cash we have in our banks on a certain day. Usually it's the last day of the month. Um, and I I need we need to monitor that to make sure that we have enough cash in our banks to cover expenses because our revenue um coming in is not at a consistent basis. So, it's just something that we have to keep an eye on. But, I didn't want it confused with when we're talking about our ending fund balance. that's a big topic um towards the end of the year and normally it's just referred to as far as the general fund because then that is rolled into the the next year and the ending fund balance is after you take all of your revenue for the year

017minus your expenses and what are you left just a couple of terms to go over um I'm Everyone heard that the September revenue forecast was not um spectacular and so we are just keeping an eye on it. Very closely monitoring our budget for this year. But so far everything is starting off well. Our first big payroll is September 30th and so I'm always very anxious for that to be finalized and I can finally really see how the budget is to speak payroll and everyone's benefits have been entered for the year. Um and one thing I wanted to mention on um so it would be that second graph the blue the second page the blue green gray the first page is revenues the second page is um expenses um and there it looks like we had

018a significant rise this year compared to the last few years in purchase services and supplies but that is all this timing really it's just because we have to get bills paid a little faster July. So in a few months that will be out. It's not that we're spending. It's just was timing the payments. Does anyone have any questions? >> Thank you. >> All right. Item six is patron comments and questions. At this time, I'd like to invite any member of the audience that submitted public comment to prepare to speak with comments about items of interest or concern this evening. Agents were asked to submit public comments prior to the meeting. We will take the comments in order received. Please begin by stating your name. And if you live in the school district, it would be

019appreciated if you would limit your comments to three minutes so that we can keep the meeting moving in a timely man fashion and allow others an opportunity to speak. We ask that you you remember that the Oregon law prohibits us from discussing specific employees or their job performance. Thank you for supporting our school district. And we have one um we have Carl Wilberg. >> Good evening. Carl Hillberg. I live in the school district. You probably all familiar with me some way. Uh my oldest son's a freshman. My younger son's in fourth grade. But I missed the last meeting third fourth grade football. So I I I like tried to keep a bunch of third fourth graders uh occupied for 30 seconds as a task teaching football. Uh when I got home I watched the video

020of the schoolboard meeting and I was little bit concerned with the discussion last night discussion the topic of the housing initiative. So I'll point back to this has been tried once at least I'm aware of before the ash apartments down here which I actually don't know what the name is anymore between Coast Guard Exchange and the old Bay Bridge that started out as a housing project for the college for for students and faculty. We see how that turned out for years. That thing's been a slum when I was a state trooper. We'd go there all the time. Drugs, domestic violence, horrible place. um the college I don't know that details when I honestly couldn't man I got rid of it been through multiple hands um so when I when I look at this kind of

021project I I can't even spit hard enough to see where it's in the strategic plan if I stand up I I just don't see it uh the school district it's it's so far outside of our mandate of of academic schooling that it just can't can't make it there uh legally I don't think you want to get as a as a point I get into the in the housing market there's being a landlord I the legal issues I I get the the intent but it's so fraught with legal issues that I just don't know who would actually we have to hire another person to manage it what's that when I get on getting the cost uh financially that's a sinkhole for us uh three years ago if we had the funding we step down about a

022million a year. Last year, this last budget cycle was a pretty significant cut. Uh our expenses rose more than our revenues. We say state cuts. Uh we just heard the budget forecast is not looking good. We're doing tons of work on our our facilities. Now, thankfully, in this budget, we didn't have to cut anything for facilities maintenance, which was awesome. Uh so I would just urge you as a human body to not just walk away from this because we're running. It's probably nothing but problems and and money and linguistics that we don't have time to have. We need to be working on our educational program. stuff like the work study session with our bulls, improving test scores, uh preparing our kids as they go through the black boxes school district from a kindergartener into a

023graduate making the best we can happen. So that's my >> Thank you, Carl. >> All right, there's no further comments for tonight on those. Um we move on to item seven which is just information. >> Move on to item eight unfinished business an action item to approve business. All those in favor. >> Anybody opposed? All right. Uh we'll move on to item nine and new business. Start with the ODA contract approval. >> So last I don't know May we start negotiating with classified and finished up in middle to the end of July. I shared with the board like a three-page document that provides a summary of negotiations from the contract was in your in the packet also tried to help with the process. I know Jenna and Marissa are in that process as well as

024a couple administrators and I know Ken want to say anything good process. Now I think some things I'm excited for think together we make good decisions around insurance for classified really going to be good for them and actually keep some money in their pocket. So and but it's not going to cost shouldn't cost the district money but it's keep money in their pocket because we won't have to take money out of their pocket for insurance. excited about that >> and they've already approved it correctly. >> This is an action item. >> I'll move to approve the OEA contract approval. >> I'll second. >> All those in favor? Anybody opposed? All right. Uh, item B is the CC clinical affiliation agreement nursing. Yeah. So, it comes to us every five years. Um, trying to get to

025it. The letter I received on August 20th that just approves our relationship with the college has to do with clinical agreement that allows our students enrolled in the nursing home and health courses which we do offer in high school. Um just puts into action and allows it to I didn't know I did this until I got this August. I don't think we need to go through and read the whole thing, but just approve it if the board's okay. >> This is an action item as well. >> All to approve the CCC clinical affiliation agreement nursing. >> I'll second. All those in favor? I. >> Anybody opposed? All right. President B's higher education and career path skills graduation requirement rate waiver. >> Yeah. So, this is just a halfpage memo from me to the board that

026talks about um a new graduation requirement. Um Mr. Jackson, you want to explain this? >> So, Senate Bill 3 instituted two additional courses each a half credit. So one additional credit of required graduation courses to be taken and completed. One of those courses is personal finance which we have had as part of the school district's graduation requirements for quite some time. So that one was an easy lip. The second one was a graduation requirement titled higher education and career path skills. And what that entails are 14 different standards that need to be taught to students prior to graduating. The credit is required to be implemented for the graduating class of 2027, this year's juniors. However, there is an option to ask for a waiver to postpone that for one year for the graduating class of

0272020. I'm coming to the board seeking that request for postponement for one year as we are trying to balance our staffing and a very full master schedule already and ascertaining where to remove what electives in order to backfill this with those graduation requirements. to understand what we are looking at doing. We are taking our freshman transitions class which is now going to be called college and career exploration of which nine of those 14 standards will be met. And then their junior year they will have a part two section of that which will be called college and career readiness of which students will be doing things that are more developmentally appropriate for their age at that time and very applicable how to fill out college applications how to do a enhanced resume those types of tasks

028letters of recommendation etc. So they will be doing that their junior year. We're trying to balance how do we successfully implement those last five standards. As such, we're asking the board to approve that waiver for one year as we continue to move forward with those credit cards. >> Okay. So is that class implemented this year? the in place of um >> college and career exploration is implemented in place of freshman transitions. We started that last year. >> So that class that's the class of 28, right? So when they're juniors next year will implement the college and career readiness, >> but this year's junior class doesn't have that dialed in quite right. So that's why we're asking for that postponement to allow for that sequential progression. >> What happens to kids that come from out of

029the district? >> That's a good question, isn't it? >> So that's not going to be any different really than out of district. I'm not concerned about state could be a challenge. So we will probably have them take the junior class and demonstrate all 14 standards in a proficiency based model and move forward that way. So, in our favor, never mind. Answer my own question. >> If the board approves it, then I have to log on to OD and fill out a waiver agreement form. Can I have a date that says the board approved this action on such and such a date? So I move to approve the proclamation for student attendance or wait sorry higher education and career path skills graduation requirement waiver. >> I'll second all those in favor. Anybody opposed? >> All right.

030We'll move on to item three. Proclamation for students attendance awareness. >> Well, we would I think we bring this every September to the board, but we do have some plans for advertisement as discussion earlier about attendance. >> Wait to read it. >> John, >> is this also the I move to I just do the proclamation. >> Okay, just get on with it. Proclamation for student attendance awareness. Whereas good attendance is essential to student achievement and graduation and we are committed to dedicating our resources and attention to reducing chronic absenteeism rates with a focus starting as early as kindergarten. Whereas chronic absence, missing 10% or more of school for any reason, including excused or and unexcused absences or just two or three days a month, is a proven predictor of academic trouble and a dropout and

031dropout rates. Whereas improving attendance and reducing chronic absence takes commitment, collaboration, and tailored approaches to particular challenges and strengths in each community. Whereas chronic absence predicts lower third grade reading proficiency, course failure, and eventual dropout, it weakens our communities and our local economy. Whereas the impact of chronic absence hits low-income students and and children of color particularly hard if they don't have the resources to make up for lost time in the classroom and are more likely to face systemic barriers to getting to school such as unreliable transportation, lack of access to health care, unstable or unaffordable housing. Whereas chronic absence exacerbates the achievement gap that separates low-income students from their peers. Since students from low-income families are both more likely to be chronically absent and more likely to be affected academically by missing school, absenteeism

032also undermines efforts to improve struggling schools since it's hard to measure improvement in classroom instruction if students are not in class to benefit from them. Whereas schools and community partners can reach out more frequently, sorry, to absent students to determine why they are missing school and what would help them attend more regularly. Whereas chronic absence can be significantly reduced when schools, parents, and communities work together to monitor and promote good attendance and address hurdles that keep children from getting to school. Now therefore, be it resolved that as the board of education of the Atoria School District, we proclaim that we are committed to working with students and families to help with reducing chronic absenteeism. We hereby commit to focusing on reducing chronic absenteeism to give all children an equitable opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive

033academically, emotionally, and socially. Specifically, we will one make clear that improved student attendance is one of our districts school district's top priorities among all of our student teachers and school leaders. Two, use data to raise public awareness, establish targets and goals, track progress, and assure accountability. Three, engage parents and the community, including civic and elected elected leaders, local businesses, clergy members, and nonprofit organizations to help us spread the message that good attendance matters and help us come up with solutions to ensure all children are in school as much as possible. Dated this 10th day of September, 2025. I'll move to approve proclamations awareness 2025 2026. >> All those in favor? >> I. Anybody post? >> Okay. Uh item E and F I believe were reviewed during the study session. So we'll move on to item

034G policy regarding immunization school sports participation conc concussion and other brain injuries. >> Yeah. So couple things on this. Um this is the first reading but about a week or so ago I sent this policy out to nurses and some other staff who would impact and I didn't hear anything back but it's not because they didn't have anything to say. So, I will reach back out and say to make sure that um they're aware of it and it fits with the work they do um because it protocols in writing and policy around concussions is new to us. We've I think they've had them before sports and things, but nothing in policy. So, I will double check with nurses and others who deal with this. If there's any changes, I'll bring that back as part of

035a second reading. All right, we'll move on to item 10 comments for the good of the order. Start with superintendent. >> I think they could open the school. I got to spend the first three days counting the kindergarters. >> Did okay until they started to cry and then had other staff swoop in and take them from me. So, but it was good. Um I haven't we haven't talked a lot about enrollment which is a big deal. Um our 10th day I want to say is tomorrow >> Sunday. >> Monday is our 10th day when we're required to do um drop kids even though we drop them. We don't stop looking for them. But we should know more about enrollment. Um pretty steady after kid that I talked about today a little bit. I think we're

036up a little bit at the high school. I'm not sure about the other schools I haven't dived into yet because have wait till the 10th day. Also, um, you know, we talked about in the study session the federal programs and we also talked about the revenue forecast. I think on September 29th here when OSBA comes and does their presentation, there's been quite a bit of talk from them on those two areas. So, if you don't have enough information, they'll provide you enough information. So, but it's been a good start to the year. That's all I have. I just wanted to put a plug to whoever that were always looking for substitutes. We go through a third party company ESS all substitutes, cafeteria helpers, custodial, instructional assistants, and teachers. You know anyone? Send them all away.

037I know it's not my turn to talk, but I just wanted to I'm I'm a little upset. Um and and I appreciate Carl and I agree with potentially the housing thing, but um at Aster, one of our goals is to protect, to support, and to help kids thrive. And I have kids who live in in some of these housing places and and I am the last person to critique choices of words, but I don't want my kids to think that we call their homes slums. I don't think that's right at all. And and I'm sure that wasn't the intent because I say all kinds of things that are not intent. But I think we need to be careful what we talk about where kids come from. So, >> thank you. >> That we'll start with

038our board members. >> Well, Quinn, would you like to say anything? >> No, I'm good. >> Still hungry, isn't it? >> Yeah. Thank you Quinn and Claire for giving us something to celebrate. Um it's actually a lot of fun watching you Jack and all your toys. Yeah. So thanks for representing us well. Um thanks for your work on the homeschool page. Um that seems to be pretty good. And I've I don't know gotten reports that there's seems like there's an uptick from the feelings I get from conversations with people just taking some classes and taking advantage of some of the programs that especially the middle school and high school. I don't know about that. >> I was going to share and I forgot it wasn't about this but I had a middle school counselor told

039me that they so most home school they don't have data for reference most homeschool kids they register or classes so good. >> Yeah there's more to do. So, it's pretty exciting. And along I mean with that um just getting reports I guess mostly at the high school cuz that's where I have a student but that there's a lot of new faces in the school. So, kind of the feeling that there's more students and um Oh, and it's I'm getting the impression from other school districts around the area um coming here. It just seems like there's excitement and um our graduation rate, you know, just some of those things that matter to the public. I don't know. It just feels like there's a sense of excitement to be part of a good story school district and

040so I don't know, feel like that's building and hopefully we can, you know, be doing with that and the kids are um all the kids in our within our school district or in our area. um can benefit from our programs and our teachers and yeah, just excited about that and the collaboration with our community. So >> yeah, that's really it. >> All right. Uh welcome Quinn. Really excited to uh to have you with us. Uh congratulations administrators for starting off a successful school year. Uh I was fortunate enough to be at ASER the first day of school. Um, we have our child child care facility over there from course department and I think we probably have 40ish kids from master. Um, and pick up time is >> pure chaos. Um, but I was actually very

041uh impressed with how uh well things were going in this small gym. Um, it was it was a lot. Uh, but I think uh Kate and her staff did a did a really nice job with that. Um, you know, Billy's not here anymore, but there were a few things that came up. Uh, some bees after um that were just going wild all over the place. Um, and he's really quickly took care of those items, which was which was awesome. I didn't have any kids stung with stung by bees. I think there was maybe a couple I uh and then I was actually able to go over to the middle school, baby. And as always, windows were running a very tight ship. Everything looked uh fantastic. Um so yeah, congratulations and excited for another school year.

042>> Yep. Welcome Quinn. Welcome back everyone. Glad everything's going smooth. I'm um the data nerd in me is very fascinated to see about these kindergarters that are coming in. They're the ones that were born. And so I'm >> And so I'm just curious to see what we what we see with these these little ones. Um and that's it. And poor bird. >> The feathers went everywhere. It's a bird. Yeah. >> No. coming through the light any >> probably. Yeah. Anyway, um >> so yes, welcome Quinn. I'm excited to have you. I'll make sure you're fed next time so that you can win another state title. >> Yeah. Um, I was going to say too, I have actually a number of um, students that have come into this district either from other districts or as new

043students this year and have gotten a lot of really positive feedback. Um, and that's really exciting. um just that the transition has been very smooth and I think that part of it is that there are so many new students and that that has been um embraced in a sense in the in the schools themselves. So uh so thank you to all the administrators and all the staff as well for creating that welcoming environment. So, um because I know that that transition can be hard when you're thinking that you don't know. But so anyway, that's welcome Quinn. Um thank you for being here tonight a long night.
