School Board Mtg. - Oct 27, 2025

0016:00 P.M. MR. VANDENBERG KERCHER GOOD EVENING CHAIR AIRD, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. HERE TONIGHT TO REQUEST APPROVAL FOR A CHANGE ORDER DURING THE NORMAL COURSE OF INSTRUCTION FOR ROBINSON CONSTRUCTION RELATED TO LAKE OSWEGO MIDDLE SCHOOL . THIS CHANGE ORDER IS A NUMBER OF CHANGES THAT HAVE OCCURRED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WE'VE BEEN NEGOTIATING, WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR, VERIFYING PRICING AND THAT SORT OF THING. IN SUMMARY, BULK OF THESE ARE RELATED TO SOME CHANGES WE'VE DONE WITH SIGNAGE. WE'VE ADDED SOME SIGNAGE THAT WAS MISSED, WE CHANGED SOME ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHICS IN THE BUILDING. WE ADDED A NETTING SYSTEM AT THE FIELD BECAUSE WE'VE HAD KIND OF A BIG DROP OFF, SO WE WON'T LOSE ALL SORTS OF BALLS. ADDITIONAL OVER EXCAVATION, WE THINK WE ARE DONE BUT THEN WE KEEP FINDING STUFF BUT WE'VE GOT

002TO BE PRETTY CLOSE. WE'VE TOUCHED PRETTY MUCH EVERYWHERE ON THE SITE, A TREE AREA UNDERNEATH OUR DRIVEWAY. THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIG ONES. WE ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL CONCRETE FOR SIDEWALKS AND THEN WE ADDED SOME SEALERS THAT GO ON THE CONCRETE IN SOME FOOD AREAS OUTSIDE, AND FINALLY SOME ROOFING REVISIONS WERE SOME DETAILS THAT WE DIDN'T PARTICULARLY LIKE. THIS CHANGE ORDER REQUEST IS $342,184 SO I'D LIKE TO OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. HOW ARE WE DOING ON OUR TIME BUDGET? I SHOULD'VE MENTIONED THAT. WE ARE DOING WELL. WE ARE STILL WELL WITHIN RANGE. SHOULD SEE THESE LARGER CHANGE ORDERS BEGINNING TO TAPER OFF HERE AS WE'VE GOTTEN INTO FINISHES AT THIS POINT. IT'S NOT IMPACTING THE TIMELINE, STILL ON TRACK TO OPEN FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR? STILL AHEAD OF SCHEDULING SOME

003AREAS. SOME AREAS THAT MAY BE JUST ON SCHEDULE BUT YES, WE'RE STILL MOVING QUICKLY. I'LL TAKE EMOTION. I MOVE TO AUTHORIZE THE CLERK OR THE COURT TO APPROVE ROBINSON'S CHANGE ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF $342,184. THANK YOU DIRECTOR WALLIN. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. THANK YOU DIRECTOR LIPTON. ANY CONVERSATION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE . MOTION CARRIES. CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD AT 6:02 AND WE ARE GOING TO BEGIN THE REGULAR SCHOOL BOARD SESSION AT 6:02. ALL RIGHT. WILL COMMAND COMMENTS FROM STAFF. TEACHING MINDS, REACHING HEARTS. I AM HERE. I'M EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE OUR SEGMENT OF BOARD MEETINGS CALLED CHANGING MINDS AND BLEEDING HEARTS AND THIS WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM OUR STUDENTS IN ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL ON THEY WERE DAY EARLY LIFE EXPERIENCES AND IT'S MEANT TO BRING OUR TEACHING

004PLAN TO LIFE, AND WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH THE FIRST PILLAR IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN WHERE STUDENTS FEEL SEEN, HEARD AND VALUED AND SO FIRST I'M GOING TO HAVE OUR STUDENTS COME UP, IF YOU WILL, PLEASE, ONE MORE --SO FROM FOREST HILLS WE HAVE GIGI AND [ INAUDIBLE ] McALLISTER AND FROM OWEN MILL WE HAVE [ INAUDIBLE ]. START WITH FOREST HILL AND YOU CAN INTRODUCE YOURSELF, AND THEN YOU CAN START. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING HERE. MY NAME IS [ INAUDIBLE ]. I'M D.D. >> WE WERE IN FIFTH GRADE AND WE GO TO FOREST HILLS ELEMENTARY. THIS YEAR WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF BEING ELITE STUDENTS IN THE [ INAUDIBLE ] -- ILLEGAL OF OUR COMMITTEE IS TO HAVE EVERYONE FEEL LIKE THEY BELONG AND PLAN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY. EACH

005MONTH WE HAVE A CARD CONTEST THAT SEEMED AT DIFFERENT HERITAGE MONTH OR SOCIAL AWARENESS TOPIC. FOR EXAMPLE, THIS MONTH ESQUE'S TOPIC WE FOCUSED ON DYSLEXIA AND LATIN AMERICA. TWICE A MONTH WE GO INTO YOUNG GRADES, READ A BOOK AND PLAN AN ACTIVITY THAT ALSO SUPPORTS THE THEME OF THAT MONTH. THESE ACTIVITIES HELP KIDS FEEL MORE INCLUDED AND CONNECTED IN OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY. LIFE WOULD BE SO BORING IF WE WERE ALL THE SAME. CELEBRATING AND LEARNING ABOUT OUR DIFFERENCES MAKE OUR SCHOOL MORE INCLUSIVE AND FRIENDLY. WE ARE HAPPY THAT THE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS HAVE SUPPORTED US IN THIS COMMITTEE AND WE HOPE TO TURN A NEW GROUP OF FOURTH GRADERS AT THE END OF THE YEAR SO THAT FOREST HILLS CAN CONTINUE ON ITS PATH OF LEARNING AND UNITY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. DO YOU HAVE

006A FAVORITE THING OF THE CULTURAL EVENTS THAT YOU REALLY JOINED? PROBABLY JUDGING. WHOEVER WON, AND GIVING OUT PRIZES. YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE LOVELY --YOU ALREADY OUR LOVELY NEIGHBORS AT SCHOOL, IS GOING TO BE AMAZING WHEN THE BOND PASSES AND YOU GET A NEW ONE. YOU'RE CREATING A WONDERFUL CULTURE WITH THIS. NICE JOB. NICE JOB, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I'M AN EIGHTH GRADER AT NEVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL. LESTER MY COUNSELOR VISITED EVERYONE'S CLASSES TO DISCUSS BULLYING AND THE IMPORTANCE OF BELONGING AT SCHOOL. SHE SAID ONE OF THE STUDENTS IN MY GRADE USED THE WORD THE HUMANIZED HOW BULLYING AFFECTED THEM. I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH PEOPLE WERE IMPACT DID [ INAUDIBLE ]. IT MADE ME SAD KNOWING SOMEONE IN MY GRADE FELT HIS WAY. IN LANGUAGE ARTS WE WROTE A LETTER ABOUT A TOPIC AND

007I WROTE ABOUT BULLYING. LAST YEAR I HAD THE CHANCE TO GO EACH WEEK TO WORK WITH FIFTH-GRADERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH FRIENDS OR ACADEMICS A LOT OF PROBLEMS THAT HAPPENED ELEMENTARY WERE ALSO HAPPENING. I HAD AN AND PRESENT A SLIDESHOW ABOUT AND HOW IT CAN BE STOPPED. I BELIEVE THAT STARTING DISCUSSIONS AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CAN HELP TRANSITION BULLYING. THIS SHOWS HOW IMPACTFUL IT IS AND LET STUDENTS KNOW THAT EVERY NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE ACTION HAS AN IMPACT. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS ME THINK ABOUT MY BEHAVIORS AND HOW THEY REPRESENT MYSELF AND MY SCHOOL. [ APPLAUSE ] I JUST WANT TO CALL OUT REALLY QUICKLY THAT RYAN CANNING ACTUALLY HELPED CREATE THAT PROGRAM SO DIDN'T JUST CONTINUE IT, OR IT'S ALREADY ALL BEEN DONE. YOU STARTED THAT AND THAT IS PRETTY AMAZING THAT OUTREACH THAT YOU DID

008FOR NEW FOLKS TO THAT COMMUNITY. HELLO, MY NAME IS ALICE THOMAS. I'M A SENIOR AT LAKE OSWEGO HIGH SCHOOL AND BEING A SENIOR THESE PAST TWO MONTHS OF THIS YEAR, THEY'VE BEEN A LOT. THERE'S A LOT OF THINKING, A LOT OF PLANNING, A LOT OF THINGS THAT I'VE NEVER HAD TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE. AND WHILE BEING EXCITING, IT'S ALSO BEEN INCREDIBLY OVERWHELMING. BUT ALL OF THAT, I'VE BEEN INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL TO MY SCHOOL COMMUNITY FOR THE BELONGING I FELT THERE. I FEEL LIKE ALL MY FEARS ACTIVELY WORKED TO ENCOURAGE ME AS I DO THEM, TO GET THROUGH APPLICATIONS, AND TO DISCUSS IN A NONCOMPETITIVE WAY. ADDITIONALLY I THINK I'VE SEEN A TON OF FACULTY AS I'VE HAD MULTIPLE TEACHERS PERSONALLY ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT PROCESS, HOW I FEELING, WHAT MY PLANS ARE, AND WHAT MY INTERESTS

009ARE, AND THIS IS DONE A LOT TO PROVE TO ME THAT I'M NOT JUST THE NUMBERS ARE THE STATISTICS THAT I'M REPORTING TO THESE COLLEGES, BUT I'M THE PERSON BEHIND THEM WHO HAS THE FEELINGS AND WHO IS ACTIVELY LOOKING TOWARDS MY OWN FUTURE, AND I THINK NO PERSON HAS REPRESENTED THAT MORE TO ME THAN MY COUNSELOR, MS. FERRIS, WHO HAS TAKEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER EVERY QUESTION I'VE HAD, TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY SMALL ISSUE IS RESOLVED, AND IF I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT'S RESULT THROUGH AN EMAIL, I KNOW THAT I'M ABLE TO COME INTO HER OFFICE, AND SHE'S DONE THIS EVEN THOUGH SHE'S HAD TO HELP A THIRD OF OUR GRADUATING CLASS WRITE LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION AND PLAN FOR THEMSELVES. [ APPLAUSE STOP NOW WE ARE SO VERY PROUD OF ALL OF THE AND

010I LOVE THE FACT THAT WE HAVE FOUR YOUNG LADIES UP HERE. GO, GIRLS. IT ACTUALLY BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES. THIS IS THE REASON WHY WE ALL DO WHAT WE DO FOR STUDENTS AND HAVING YOU COME UP AND TALK ABOUT BELONGING HERE MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE TO ALL OF US. BEST PART OF THE JOB RIGHT THERE. ALL RIGHT. COMMENTS FROM PATRONS. WE HAVE RECEIVED WRITTEN TESTIMONY ON ETHNIC STUDIES FROM SIX INDIVIDUALS. SEAN McCARTY, EVIE McCARTY, EILEEN McCARTY, KEITH EPSTEIN, NYLA EPSTEIN, AND BRUCE POINTS AT, AND WE HAVE IN-PERSON TESTIMONY TODAY FROM BEN AND ANNALEE ADAMS. HI, GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ANNALEE ADAMS AND I'M HERE TONIGHT AGAIN TO DISCUSS AND ASK SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING THE LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL CELL TOWER CONSTRUCTION THAT IS CURRENTLY GOING ON. AT LAST MONTH'S MEETING, AS YOU MAY RECALL,

011WE SHARED THAT WE HAD JUST LEARNED EARLIER THAT DAY THAT ZIPPY FIBER PLANNED TO ACCESS OUR PROPERTY TO CONNECT TO THE CELL TOWER. A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER THAT MEETING WE LEARNED THAT ZIP LEE WAS WORKING UNDER AN OLD, VOIDED FRANCHISE UTILITY PERMIT. THAT WORK WAS SUBSEQUENTLY STOPPED AND WE WERE INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO OBTAIN A NEW PERMIT BEFORE DOING ANY FURTHER WORK. MY QUESTION FOR THE BOARD AND MR. KEPLER, AS YOU DISCUSS THE CELL TOWER AGREEMENTS LATER IN THIS MEETING, IS, ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY UPDATES FROM ZIPPY FIBER REGARDING THEIR PLANS TO CONNECT TO THE CELL TOWER AT LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL? MY SECOND QUESTION IS ABOUT THE LEASE AGREEMENTS THEMSELVES. ONCE A LEASE IS SIGNED WITH THE POWER COMPANY, SUCH AS CROWN CASTLE, DOES CROWN CASTLE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTINUALLY

012UPGRADE, CHANGE OR ADD EQUIPMENT WITHOUT SEEKING THE NEW APPROVALS OR CONSENT FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT? I ASK BECAUSE TECHNOLOGY IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING. WHEN THE LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL LEASE WAS SIGNED IN 1996, CELL PHONES AND RELATED TECHNOLOGY WERE VASTLY DIFFERENT. THIS NEW VERIZON TOWER REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN BOTH DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY AND WITH THOSE CHANGES COME DIFFERENT AND INCREASED HEALTH AND AESTHETIC IMPACTS. WHAT AUTHORITY UNDER THESE LEASES DOES CROWN CASTLE HAVE TO MODIFY, UPGRADE, OR EXPAND EQUIPMENT OVER THE DURATION OF THE LEASE. I ALSO NOTICE ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA THAT THE LIST OF MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR THE VERIZON TOWER IS $2719.46, HOWEVER, IN RESPONSE TO A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST I WAS TOLD THE AMOUNT WAS $2415.77. THAT LETTER NUMBER IS ALSO LISTED AS THE MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR THE T-MOBILE TOWER, SO I'M WONDERING IF YOU COULD

013JUST CLARIFY WHICH FIGURE IS CORRECT. I'M ALSO REQUESTING THEIR VOCATION ON THE LEASE END DATE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL VERIZON TOWER. ON THE MATERIAL FOR THE AGENDA TONIGHT, THE VERIZON TOWER IS LISTED AS A CURRENT ENDING TERM OF 5/16/2029, BUT THE CONTRACT DOESN'T EXPIRE UNTIL 2039 POINT DOES THIS MEAN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS THE OPTION TO GET OUT OF THE LEASE AT THE END OF THE TERM OR DOES THIS ONLY GIVE THE OPTION TO CROWN CASTLE TO NOT RENEW? AND HOW DO THESE SIMILAR ENDING TERMS APPLY TO THE OTHER LEASES? THANK YOU. BOARD, APPRECIATE THE TIME. MY NAME IS BEN ADAMS. I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TESTING THAT I KNOW IS COMING UP. SO I WANTED TO KNOW IF THE BOARD HAS FOUND A CONTRACTOR AND IF SO, IF THAT TESTING

014HAS BEEN SCHEDULED. A FEW OTHER THINGS I WANTED TO BRING UP WAS WHAT THE TESTING MODELING WAS GOING TO BE. OUR SITUATION IS UNIQUE IN THAT 100 FEET OF THE CELL TOWER AND OUR UPSTAIRS IS AT EYE LEVEL. SO THIS IS NOT A SCENARIO THAT IS SOME RING THEY DO CASE STUDIES FOR, BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO THIS, BECAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS. SO WILL THE TESTING BE DONE WITH OSHA STANDARDS FOR CUMULATIVE EXPOSURE? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT OUR EXPOSURE IS, AND IT'S NOT SIX MINUTES AND 30 MINUTES, AS TECHNICIANS ARE TESTING MODELS. IT'S 24 HOURS A DAY. SO WILL THAT BE SPECIFIED IN THE TESTING MODELING THAT WE'LL NEED TO DO TESTING THAT THOSE MODELS ARE EXPERIENCED? SO AT EYE LEVEL, AT THAT DISTANCE, FOR A LONG DURATION OF TIME. AND THEN WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE IN

015MY NOTES HERE? THAT'S IT. I'M QUICK TONIGHT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THAT IS WHAT I HAVE ON MY LIST FOR TESTIMONY. NOW TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. I HAVE A MOTION. I'LL MOVED TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED. DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. THANK YOU. ANY CONVERSATION? ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE . MOTION CARRIES. COMMONS AND STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES. COMMENTS FROM STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES. SO A A FEW THINGS AT LAKERIDGE. THIS WEEK WE HAVE A BIG FOOTBALL GAME AGAINST ANOTHER SCHOOL IN OUR DISTRICT AND IT'S ALREADY VERY CLEAR WHO'S GOING TO WIN, FOR ME, AND I'M SURE MAX WILL SAY THE EXACT SAME THING WITH EXTREMELY DIFFERENT RESULTS. BUT WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO THE GAME. IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY COOL. THE DAY BEFORE HALLOWEEN. ANOTHER THING

016COMING UP IS IT'S THE END OF THE QUARTER THIS FRIDAY. WE DON'T HAVE SCHOOL, WHICH IS GREAT. I'M SURE WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING DONE WITH SCHOOL AND FOR LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL THEATER, THE FALL MUSICAL THIS YEAR IS ANASTASIA. TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE. YOU CAN FIND OUT INFORMATION ON THE DRAMA WEBSITE AND IT'S GOING TO BE THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF NOVEMBER. SO THAT'S ALL THAT WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO. THANK YOU. JUST AS FAR, IT'S PRETTY SIMILAR STUFF, WE GOT THE GAME WHICH WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO. WE ALSO HAVE THIS HOLLOW WEEKEND COMING UP, WHICH IS KUDOS TO WHOEVER PLANNED THIS YEAR BECAUSE WE GET HALLOWEEN OFF, SO THANK YOU GUYS. AND I HAD THE PLEASURE OF ATTENDING THE CHOIR CONCERT THAT WE HAD A WEEK OR SO AGO. VERY

017WELL PUT TOGETHER. A LOT OF STUDENTS I KNOW WENT TO THAT AND ENJOYED IT. PARTICIPATION RATES NOT AS WELL BUT THINGS ARE GOOD. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. BOARD BUSINESS, 6.1, SUPERINTENDENT'S UPDATE. THAT'S ME. THAT'S RIGHT. HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, FIRST I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THE ARTWORK WE HAVE IN THE BOARD ROOM AND THE ENTIRE OFFICE HERE. WE HAVE SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS HERE WITH THE HOMES ON THE ARE FROM WESTRIDGE FIFTH-GRADE AND THEN ALL THE OTHER ARTWORK IS FROM ALL OF OUR PRE-K CLASSROOMS SO IF YOU GO DOWN THE HALLWAY YOU'LL SEE THOSE AMAZING THINGS FROM FOREST HILL, HIGHLAND CREEK, RIVER RUN AND WESTRIDGE AND IT DOES DEFINITELY BRIGHTEN UP THIS PLACE BEING THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME FUN AT WORK SO THANK YOU TO ALL THAT AND THANKS TO KELLY

018WHO GOES AND PICKS UP ALL THIS ARTWORK AND DISPLAYS IT ALL OVER THE PLACE. I ALSO WANT TO START BY THANKING THE LAKE OSWEGO SCHOOLS FOUNDATION BOARD. LAST WEEK THEIR PROGRAM WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL AND MANY OF YOU VOLUNTEERED TO. THEY CALLED NEARLY 2000 FAMILIES AND RAISED MORE THAN $400,000, AND THEIR PRE-PHONE WORK, ACTUALLY EXCEEDED THEIR GOAL OF 79,000, REACHING $745,000. SO THANK YOU FOR LETTING YOUR TIME, ENERGY, PARTS TO THIS EFFORT AND THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO DONATED. I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE LAKE OSWEGO FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR EQUIPPING ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS WITH THE STOP THE BLEED KITS. WE DO HAVE A STOP THE BLEED KITS IN ALL OF OUR FIRST-AID KITS AT SCHOOL BUT THEY ACTUALLY DID ONE WITH OUR DEFIBRILLATOR, SO EVERY TIME YOU HAVE A DEFIBRILLATOR THERE IS ALSO A STOP

019THE BLEED KITS SO THOSE LIFE-SAVING TOOLS ARE SO HELPFUL TO HAVE AND WE ARE SO EXCITED TO WORK WITH THEM AND MAKE SURE THE OFFICES ARE PREPARED. FEDERAL SHUTDOWN. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. WE GOT SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M LETTING PEOPLE KNOW WHAT I HAVE AND THE ONE BIG AREA THAT THE FEDERAL SHUTDOWN CAN AFFECT US IS SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM BUT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET [ INAUDIBLE ] THIS TIME. I GOT A CALL ON FRIDAY SAYING THAT WE WERE PAID AGAIN FOR THE MONTH AND SO WE ARE IN A GOOD PLACE WITH OUR SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM. I DO WANT TO MENTION, THOUGH, THAT SNAPPED BENEFITS ARE ENDING ON OCTOBER 31st AND FAMILIES WHO ARE IN OUR DISTRICT YOU NORMALLY GET SNAP

020BENEFITS WILL NOT BE GETTING THEM IN NOVEMBER. AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HERE WHO ARE ON S.N.A.P. BENEFITS SO IF YOU ARE A FAMILY WHO CAN DONATE TO HUNGER FIGHTERS OR ANY OF THE FOOD BANKS AROUND US, PLEASE DO SO, BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE MANY FAMILIES HERE IN TOWN THAT RELY ON THAT FOOD FROM THE BANK, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY'RE NOT PLANNING FOR S.N.A.P. BENEFITS. AND I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO FEED EVERYONE HERE AT SCHOOL BUT THERE IS A LOT OF HOURS OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, SO ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP THOSE WHO NEED IT, PLEASE DO IT. THESE ARE OUR FAMILIES. PLEASE LET US KNOW. WE ALSO RECENTLY GOT SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT IMMIGRATIONS AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT, I.C.E., IN THE PRESENCE OF OUR SCHOOLS, AND I JUST WANT

021TO REASSURE EVERYONE THAT NO I.C.E. AGENTS HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ANY OF OUR SCHOOLS AT THIS POINT. WE HAVE VERY CLEAR PLANS AND PROCEDURES IN PLACE TO ENSURE SAFETY AND PRIVACY OF OUR STUDENTS AND OREGON LAW PROVIDES STRONG PROTECTION FOR STUDENTS IN SCHOOL. SO OUR DISTRICT REMAINS COMMITTED TO UPHOLDING THESE PROTECTIONS, TO SUPPORTING EVERY STUDENT, IN CONFIDENTIALITY, AND ABOVE ALL I KNOW THAT SCHOOLS ARE SAFE AND WELCOMING PLACE FOR OUR STUDENTS. SO ANYONE WHO'S WORRIED ABOUT THAT, THEY'RE WELCOME TO CALL AND TALK TO ME BUT WE ARE VERY CLEAR WITH WHAT TO DO. COMMUNITY DAY. I LOVE THAT WHEN OUR STUDENTS TALKED ABOUT BULLYING AND EDUCATING, BECAUSE LAST WEEK WE HAD OUR STUDENTS AND OUR FACULTY, ADMINISTRATORS ALL WEARING ORANGE TO UNITE FOR KINDNESS, ACCEPTANCE AND INCLUSION SO THAT NO CHILD EVER EXPERIENCES BULLYING

022AGAIN. BELONGING, NOT BELITTLING. IF YOUR STUDENTS EXPERIENCE ANYTHING LIKE THAT PLEASE REACH OUT TO YOUR PRINCIPAL. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FACE THIS ALONE. WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU AND A COUNSELOR, SENSIBLE, AND HE TRUSTED SCHOOL ADULT CAN HELP. OUTDOOR SCHOOL. REALLY EXCITING LAST WEEK. OUR SIXTH-GRADERS ALL WENT AND IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A FIELD TRIP. IT'S AN IMMERSIVE LEARNING ADVENTURE. STUDENTS EXPLORE THE OUT DOORS AS THEIR CLASSROOM AND THEY GET TO STUDY ECOSYSTEMS, TESTING WATER QUALITY, LEARNING ABOUT FOREST HEALTH, DISCOVERING HOW NATURE CONNECTED OUR ENVIRONMENT, TEACHES THEM SO MUCH ABOUT RESILIENCE AND INTERDEPENDENCE AND WE ARE SO GLAD THAT OUR KIDS GET TO EXPERIENCE IT THIS YEAR, TO CAMP COLLINS AND CAMP AND THE LOWE'S AND WE HAD 225 STUDENTS GO BECAUSE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, I JUST WANT TO

023MAKE SURE, 245 WENT, 23 DID NOT SO IN LAKE OSWEGO MIDDLE SCHOOL WENT TO CAMP KARATE AND CAMP THE MONDAY. 248 SIXTH-GRADERS GO IN 21 SURREAL SIMILAR PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS . ELECTION DAY IS FAST APPROACHING. I KNOW WE HAVE SOME FRIENDS HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT LATER BUT PLEASE CONSIDER BALLOT MEASURE 3-2-6-8. INITIATIVE TO BUILD SAFE, MODERN AND [ INAUDIBLE ] RULES THAT NO INCREASE IN OUR TAX RATE . I THINK THAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST THING I'VE GOT QUESTIONS ON. EVERYTHING IN LAKE OSWEGO HAS PROJECT PROJECTS INCLUDING [ INAUDIBLE ] PACKAGE AND REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR BALLOT IN BY NOVEMBER 4th. SO YOU CAN WRAP IT UP ANYTIME BEFORE 8:00 P.M. AND IT DOES NEED TO BE POSTMARKED ON THAT DATE SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR STAFF, ANY MEMBERS

024WHO COME TO GET THE VOTE OUT. PARENT EDUCATION. LAST WEEK WE HAD TWO OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARENT EDUCATION. THEY WERE BOTH FANTASTIC. THE FIRST ONE WAS DISORDERED FEEDING AND FEEDING DISORDERS ARE SERIOUS MENTAL, PHYSICAL, HEALTH ISSUES AFFECTING MANY YOUNG PEOPLE, BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS. THE WORKSHOP HELPED PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS UNDERSTAND THE WARNING SIGNS AND LEARN HOW TO SUPPORT CHILDREN WHO MAY BE STRUGGLING. AND THE SECOND ONE WAS CELL PHONE USE AND PARENTING ANXIOUS CHILDREN BY DR. KEVIN ASHWORTH, WHO WE HAD HERE IN THE PAST. IT WAS AN AMAZING WORKSHOP. THEY GAVE PARENT STRATEGIES FOR WORKING WITH ANXIOUS KIDS AND THE CONNECTION THAT SOCIAL MEDIA AND CELL PHONES HAD. SO BOTH OF THESE SESSIONS ACTUALLY CAME FROM IDEAS FROM OUR CURRENT SO I WANTED TO ENCOURAGE PARENTS TO CONTINUE TO ASK THEIR PRINCIPLES FOR DIFFERENT SESSIONS THEY

025FIND VALUABLE. ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GOOD TOPICS THAT PEOPLE WANT TO COME TO. STRINGS UPDATE. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A LONGER ONE. SORRY. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 78 FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADERS PARTICIPATING IN OUR ELEMENTARY STRINGS PROGRAM AND THIS YEAR IT'S [ INAUDIBLE ] MIDDLE SCHOOL. SO IT'S ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF KIDS THAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST AND THEY'RE DOING VERY WELL SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS WE STILL HAVE A STRINGS PROGRAM. CONFERENCES.

040US TO DO THAT .1 IS A DIRECT MAILER THAT WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO, TEXT BANKING AS WELL AS SOME DIGITAL MARKETING THAT GOES OUT THERE. THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE AND WE NEED TO HAVE THOSE THINGS AND THEY DO COST MONEY SO ANY SUPPORT THAT YOU WILL BE WILLING TO GIVE, WE'D REALLY LOVE THAT. AND THEN WE HAVE, OF COURSE, WE NEED VOLUNTEERS AND SO WHEN YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE FOR BUILDING GREAT SCHOOLS, YOU CAN CHECK OUT OUR WONDERFUL SIGN-UP GENIUS AND IT HAS ALL OF THE [ INAUDIBLE ] SARAH HAS ORGANIZED WITH ALL OF THESE SCHOOLS. IT'S AMAZING, IT'S A LOT, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I'D LOVE EVERYBODY TO JUST PUT ON YOUR CALENDAR, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2nd AT 1:00, TO MEET AT LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL. COME GET A PACKET AND GO

041CANVAS. WE ALREADY HAVE HAD SEVERAL OF YOU, AND OTHERS ARE SIGNED UP TO GO CANVASSING SO IN TALKING TO THE EXPERTS AND PEOPLE THAT BROUGHT THIS OVER THE LINE, CANVASSING IS WHAT DOES IT. THIS IS A LIST OF PEOPLE WHO WE KNOW OUR YESES. THEY JUST HAVEN'T PUT THEIR BALLOT IN YET. THEY JUST NEED A LITTLE REMINDER AND I DO HAVE TO SAY, LIKE CANVASSING IS JUST ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BROUGHT SUCH -- I WAS SCARED TO BE HONEST, I WAS SCARED. I WAS LIKE IT'S DIRECTED TOWARDS PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE PART OF IT SO IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. A LOT OF YOU'VE ALREADY VOTED BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LIKE, HEY, CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT IT OR, THERE'S A BOND, SO THAT'S WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP, SO

042VOLUNTEERING FOR THAT, WE REALLY NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT. WE NEED 50 PEOPLE. I THINK RIGHT NOW WE MAYBE HAVE 12 TO 16. SOME PEOPLE JUST SHOW UP. THAT'S OKAY, BUT KIDS, STUDENTS, I BROUGHT MY SON, I LIVED A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR THEM TO DO AND LEARN HOW TO BE A PART OF OUR EDUCATION AND OUR ELECTION SYSTEM. THAT'S IT. I THINK THAT'S IT. ANY QUESTIONS? FIRST OFF, THANK YOU SO MUCH . I'VE HAD SOME OF YOUR CALLS AND IT'S JUST SUCH A SMOOTH RUNNING ORGANIZATION THAT EVERYONE IS INVESTED AND INVOLVED. I WAS SAYING TODAY IN THE MEETINGS IT STARTS AT 430 AND EVERYONE IS UNLIKE LET'S GO, WE'VE GOT TO GET GOING. IT'S JUST SUCH GREAT ENERGY. YOU MENTIONED TO ME ABOUT 50 VOLUNTEERS AND YOU NEED SOME MORE. COULD YOU --WHAT'S KIND

043OF BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THIS PROCESS? FOR ME MY FAVORITE PART HAS BEEN THE STEERING COMMITTEE, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY TALENTED, AMAZING FOLKS OUT THERE, WHETHER IT IS PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO DO SOCIAL MEDIA AND NEWSLETTERS, AND THEN LEARNING ALL OF THE DETAILS THAT GO BEHIND THESE CAMPAIGNS, NEVER, EVER IMAGINE THAT THERE IS THIS MUCH WORK THAT GOES INTO, AND ALL THE STATISTICS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU'RE REALLY PUSHING FOR. SO I THINK THAT AND I THINK ALSO JUST LEARNING FROM THE COMMITMENT FROM THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE IT IN THE PAST. IT'S BEEN A JOY TO BE HERE FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS. AND I WILL SAY THAT HEATHER HAS BEEN JUST AMAZING. SHE'S JUST THE KINDEST, LIKE WONDERFUL PERSON TO --SHE JUST HAS SO

044MUCH ENERGY AND SHE'S JUST PUSHING EVERYTHING REALLY HARD TO GET DONE. SHE DOESN'T LEAVE ANYTHING ON THE TABLE. IT'S LIKE CONSTANT, CONSTANT, CONSTANT. SO IT'S BEEN SO GREAT TO JUST BE PART OF THIS AND BE PART OF THAT GROUP AND THEN TO KIND OF HAVE THAT ENERGY AND WORKING TOGETHER AND KNOWING THAT YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR A GOOD CAUSE, AND THEN ALSO THE SMALL THINGS, LIKE GOING CANVASSING AND JUST REACHING ONE-ON-ONE PEOPLE AND HEARING THEIR LITTLE KIND OF TAKE ON IT. IT'S JUST BEEN REALLY AN INTERESTING PATH AND ALL THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF IT SO YEAH , IT'S BEEN COOL. IT SOLIDIFIED THE MOVE TO THE RIGHT PLACE. THAT'S WHAT IT'S DONE FOR ME. PEOPLE FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE BUT IT REALLY IS FUN BECAUSE YOU HAVE A TARGETED LIST AND THESE ARE PEOPLE

045THAT WANT TO SUPPORT. THERE'S ONE THING ON THE BALLOT. YEAH, DO IT. >> DO IT. I JUST WANT TO SHARE, AS SOMEONE WHO SUPER SHY, I ACTUALLY REALLY ENJOY CANVASSING AS WELL BECAUSE IT'S JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO NEIGHBORS AND SHARE WHAT WE REALLY CARE ABOUT, AND TO SEE THAT ACROSS ALL AGES AND WALKS OF LIFE IS REALLY AWESOME SO --AND ALSO I'VE BEEN SO IMPRESSED BY THE WAY YOU'VE INVOLVED STUDENTS IN THIS CAMPAIGN. I THINK THAT'S BEEN A REALLY GREAT ASPECT THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN IT FULLY REALIZED THE YOU ALL HAVE. CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO HOW YOU'VE DONE THAT? YOU JUST NEED TO LIGHT ROBOTIC STUDENTS UP AND THEY ARE ALL IN. THEY'VE BEEN AMAZING. BUT ALSO I THINK THAT OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM CREATES STUDENTS THAT WANT TO BE ENGAGED.

046JUST LOOKING AT YOU TWO HERE BUT ALL THE STUDENTS COME AND SPEAK, STUDENTS THAT WE'VE HAD BEFORE. I FEEL LIKE THERE IS A MOMENTUM TOWARDS THAT. I THINK THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S ALSO COMMUNICATION TO HELP THEM WITH WHERE TO GO, WHERE TO BE, THAT KIND OF THING, BUT ALSO JUST AN OPEN DOOR TO BE OUTSIDE, TO COME ON IN, AND THE LEADERS OF THESE GROUPS HAVE BEEN HUGELY HELPFUL. THE TEAM LEADS IN THOSE AREAS, IT REALLY WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE TO GET THE INFORMATION OUT THERE. IT'S BEEN AMAZING TO ME AT THE BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHTS AND TO HEAR THE STUDENTS SPEAKING, YOU KNOW, THIS IS MY SCHOOL, THIS IS SOMEWHERE USED TO GO TO SCHOOL, I KNOW I WENT TO LAKE GROVE AND MAX PROVIDED THAT WONDERFUL SPEECH AS A FORMER LEADER OF STUDENTS SO

047IT'S JUST BEEN WONDERFUL. SO THANKS FOR --THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PART BECAUSE YOU KNOW STUDENTS ARE SO PASSIONATE AND JUST BEEN KNOCKING IT OUT OF THE PARK. AND I KNOW I'M NOT GOING TO GET ANYTHING FROM THIS BUT I WANT THOSE STUDENTS WHO ARE AFTER ME, TOO. THAT JUST MAKES ME SO HAPPY. IS BECAUSE MOST OF THEM COME BACK HERE AND RAISE THEIR KIDS. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO KEEP. I HOPE THEY'RE NOT THINKING ABOUT, YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY, ONE DAY THEY'LL BE. SOMETHING FAR AWAY. WHAT OUR EXCELLENT PUBLIC EDUCATION IS ABOUT. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO GET THE KIDS OUT THERE ON NOVEMBER 1st TO CANVAS. I WOULD LOVE TO BRING YOU. SHE LOVES KNOCKING DOORS AND IT'S RIGHT AFTER HALLOWEEN SO WE

048ARE GOING TO BE BACK AT IT AND THEN WE'LL BE READY TO GO. AND DON'T FORGET IT'S ON SUNDAY, SO YOUR DAUGHTER GETS THE BIGGEST STAR BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN TO I DON'T KNOW, 10 EVENTS, SHE DEFINITELY IS OUR ROCK STAR. IT'S FUN TO BRING KIDS ALONG IN THE PROCESS, ESPECIALLY FROM A YOUNG AGE BEFORE IT GETS THEM INTERESTED. I APPRECIATE HOW YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SO OPEN AND LOVING AND YOU ATTENDED SO MANY EVENTS . SHE'S AWESOME. SHE'S WELCOME ANYTIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS AMAZING AND HEATHER, I JUST WANT TO ECHO WHAT EVERYONE SAID. YOU HAVE DONE A FABULOUS JOB AT [ INAUDIBLE ] --IT HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY --I CAN'T IMAGINE BEING THE THIRD ONE. LIKE THE FIRST ONE, WE'VE NEVER DONE THIS IN A WHILE. THE SECOND ONE, ALL RIGHT. BUT

049THE THIRD ONE, PEOPLE LIKE, OH GOD, WE GOT TO DO ONE MORE AND YOU HAVE JUST MADE IT FEEL LIKE THE FIRST ONE. IT'S MY FIRST ONE. THEY WERE SOMEBODY'S FIRST. THE TEAM THAT HAS BEEN THROUGH EVERYTHING, THEY HAVE BEEN SO SUPPORTIVE AND AWESOME. IT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT THEM. THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND FOR EVERYONE LISTENING, NOVEMBER 4th, GO, GO VOTE, JUST VOTE YES. VOTE YES. VOTE YES AND IT'S ABOUT THE KIDS. THE ONLY REASON ANY OF US DO ANY OF THESE THINGS IS FOR KIDS LIKE RIGHT HERE, THE KIDS WE SAW EARLIER, WHO TALKED ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO BE CYCLICALLY ENGAGED, TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, TO BE KIND. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON AND IF YOU CAN'T VOTE YES FOR THAT, YOU MIGHT WANT

050TO LEAVE. THANK YOU. I GET TO SAY THAT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS GOING TO COME UP, I THINK IT'S AN ORIGINAL DATA, YEAH? SORRY, MY COMPUTER IS [ INAUDIBLE ] ALL RIGHT, MR. BAILEY AND MS. WASHINGTON. YES, CHAIR. IT IS OCTOBER DATA TIME. GOOD EVENING CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. SHARED WITH YOU IN 2024-25 STATE ASSESSMENT DATA FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS AND MATH. SO TYPICALLY WE WILL ALSO SHARE WITH YOU AT THIS BOARD MEETING DATA FROM 2024 TO 25 ONTRACK, ATTENDANCE DATA, PARTICIPATION IN DISTRICT REPORT CARD. UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T DO THAT QUITE YET. THEY HAVE EMBARGOED THIS REPORT SO WE BRING THOSE TO YOU AT THE NOVEMBER MEETING. SO I WILL DO ELA AND THEN COVER MATH PROGRESSO ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS, AS YOU PARIS WAS THIS

051CHART, HERE BEFORE WE GET INTO IT, WE ARE NOT THERE YET. WE ARE GETTING THERE. ACTUALLY LOOKING AT HOW IMPRESSED I WAS. WE'RE GETTING THERE. OVERALL THE DISTRICT PERCENTAGE FOR ALL GRADE LEVELS COMBINED DID INCREASE OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS. A COUPLE OTHER HIGHLIGHTS. NEARLY ALL THE SEVEN GRADE LEVELS ASSESSED INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR WITH 11th GRADE TO SIXTH GRADE REALLY SHOWING THE GREATEST GROWTH FROM LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR. THEY REALLY DID A GREAT JOB. THAN THE OTHER TWO TABLES WHICH REPRESENT ALL THE STUDENTS IN GRADES THREE THROUGH 11 COMBINED, MOST OF THE SCORES INCREASED BUT THERE ARE STILL A FEW THAT DID NOT THAT NEED SOME WORK AND ATTENTION TO. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE OUR SCORES FOR STUDENTS ON IEP CONTINUED TO INCREASE OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS. OVERALL AGAIN AS YOU

052PERUSE IT, THE LAST THREE YEARS, SOME SCORES INCREASED FROM LAST YEAR BUT DIDN'T QUITE GET TO WHERE THEY WERE IN 2022 AND 23. SOME SCORES SURPASSED BOTH YEARS SO I THINK IT CONTINUED THE TRACK OF OUR TEACHERS DOING HARD WORK AND KIDS TAKING IT MORE SERIOUSLY. I THINK OUR PARTICIPATION RATE WITHOUT DOING NUMBERS WAS PRETTY SOLID, ESPECIALLY YOU GET THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL WHICH WE'VE SEEN IT NOT AND THE SCORES WERE PRETTY GOOD. SO WE ARE GETTING THERE. STILL GOT WORK TO DO. WE ARE STILL NOT HAPPY. WE KNOW THAT OUR SCORES COMPARED TO OTHER DISTRICTS AROUND OUR PRETTY GOOD, COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING. SO WE ARE PROUD OF THAT BUT WE ARE NOT QUITE WHERE WE WANT TO BE FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE. I WILL TURN IT OVER TO YOU FOR MATH. SO HERE WE GO. SO

053IF YOU LOOK AT OUR SCORES, JUST IN GENERAL, THE DISTRICT OVERALL SCORES OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, YOU'LL SEE THAT IT REMAINS SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE 60%, CAPPING AT 65.8% IN THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR AND WE SEE A SLIGHT DECREASE IN THE 24-25 SCHOOL YEAR BY ABOUT TWO TENTHS OF A PERCENTAGE POINT, AND LOOKING ACROSS GRADE LEVELS TESTED YOU'LL SEE THAT THREE GRADE LEVELS SHOWED INCREASES LAST YEAR, SIX, EIGHT AND 11, AND ALL OTHER GRADE LEVELS LAST SCHOOL YEAR. LOOKING AT THE RACE AND ETHNICITY CATEGORY, THERE WAS AN INCREASE AMONG BLACK AND HISPANIC STUDENTS, ALTHOUGH THEIR PROFICIENCY RATES REMAIN SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN MOST OF THE OTHER GROUPS AND ALL OTHER GROUPS SHOWED A SLIGHT DIP IN PROFICIENCY. LAST SCHOOL YEAR. AND FINALLY THERE WAS AN INCREASE OF PROFICIENCY IN ALL OTHER GROUPS CATEGORY EXCEPT FOR ENGLISH

054LEARNERS. SEE THEIR. AND THERE WAS ALSO A DECLINE IN PROFICIENCY AMONG THE FEMALE GENDER GROUP FOR MATH. SO WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO. VERS SOME SUBGROUPS THAT PERFORMANCE INDICATES THERE MAY BE SOME ADDITIONAL WAYS WE NEED TO ADDRESS MATH LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM. OVERALL, AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO DO SOME WORK. YOU KNOW IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE WE ARE COMING INTO OUR THIRD YEAR OF OUR NEW MATH CURRICULUM AND SO WE ARE HOPING TO GET SETTLED IN THEIR THIS YEAR AND HAVING A FIDELITY OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW CURRICULUM. BUT WHAT WE WANT TO DO WHEN WE GET INTO THAT THIRD YEAR IS FOCUSING ON TIER 1 MATH INSTRUCTION BY INCREASING THEIR FREQUENCY AND THE QUALITY OF INFORMAL INSTRUCTIONAL OBSERVATION AND FEEDBACK. AND THAT'S ACROSS K-12. WE ARE

055WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO STRENGTHEN THAT AREA, AND I THINK THAT WILL HELP BUILDING OUR INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP AND LEVERAGING THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS OF OUR SCHOOL LEADERS TO HELP SUPPORT TEACHERS IN THE CLASSROOM AND COLLABORATING AND IMPROVING IN AREAS THAT ARE OBSERVED. AND THEN AS FAR AS OH SASS IS CONCERNED, WE WANT TO BUILD READINESS BY FAMILIARIZING STUDENTS WITH THE TOOLS, THE ITEM TYPES AND THE TESTING INTERFACE USE ON OH SAS. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE AND I THINK THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE SYSTEMATIC IN THAT, ESPECIALLY AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL. WE KNOW THE SECONDARY LEVEL, THEY'VE BEEN USING THE INTERIM ASSESSMENTS AND THINGS SO I THINK BUILDING ON MORE SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO THAT BECAUSE INCREASED OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO PRACTICE USING ONLINE PLATFORM WILL REDUCE TEST

056FORMAT BARRIERS THAT COULD AFFECT SCORES AND THEN THAT WILL ALLOW US TO MEASURE WHAT STUDENTS TRULY KNOW AND CAN DO. QUESTIONS? JUST AN INFORMAL OBSERVATIONS, HOW DOES THAT LOOK ON THE GROUND AND IN TERMS OF WHO'S COMING INTO THE CLASSROOMS AND HOW OFTEN? PRINCIPAL S, NUMBER ONE, THEY WILL BE GOING IN. WE TALKED ABOUT DOING LEARNING WALKS WHERE WE WOULD COME IN, DISTRICT LEADERS WOULD COME IN THE WHAT'S GOING ON, SEE THE ALIGNMENT OF INSTRUCTION AT EACH GRADE LEVEL AND ACROSS GRADE LEVELS, SO ALSO THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP TEAMS AND SCHOOLS TO GO VISIT. NOW THESE ARE INFORMAL, NON-PALLIATIVE, IT'S JUST A WAY OF REALLY PROVIDING SUPPORT AND COLLABORATION. THAT SOUNDS GREAT. THIS MAY BE JUST --MAYBE I'M JUST MISSING SOMETHING BUT IN MY STATE ASSESSMENTS LAST YEAR WE HAD TO TAKE A SCIENCE

057STATE ASSESSMENT. WE CAN GET THAT FOR YOU. SO I DID NOTICE THE 11th GRADE SCORES -- WE HAD SOME CONCERN THAT HIGH SCORES AREN'T TAKING THE STATE TEST AS SERIOUSLY. DO YOU THINK THIS MAY BE REFLECTS, MAYBE THERE IS A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION TO IT OR MORE MESSAGING ABOUT HOW IT'S WORKED? YES AND YES. I THINK TEAMS DID A REALLY NICE JOB OF GETTING OUR CLASSROOM TO CLASSROOM, FULLY PERSONALIZING IT AND IT'S TALKING ABOUT IF YOU'RE AN AP STUDENT, THIS SHOULD NOT BE A DIFFICULT TEST FOR YOU TO TAKE SO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR SCHOOL AND THOSE KIND OF MESSAGES SO YOU GUYS TESTIFY TO THAT PART OF THAT. THEY DO A GOOD JOB OF MESSING THEY THAT AROUND. MR. H WENT AROUND LAST YEAR. SO DID DR. CRAWFORD. I KNOW THAT

058SPECIFICALLY WHAT INSPIRED A LOT OF MY FRIENDS TO DO BETTER WITH THIS WAS YOU HAD TO GET SPECIFIC SCORES TO GET THE S.T.E.M. CERTIFICATE SO THERE WAS DEFINITELY MORE INCENTIVE TO FOCUS ON THE STATS. GREAT. I LIKE INCENTIVES. SO THE MATH ONE IS A LITTLE BAFFLING TO ME. AND I JUST LOVE THAT --I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE DOING AMAZING WORK. I HAVE NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. I'M JUST CURIOUS, YOU KNOW WE GET A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WANT US TO TEACH A LOT OF THINGS ALL THE TIME, AND ALL THE CLASSES, PEOPLE LOVE ARTS, PEOPLE LOVE MUSIC, THE PE. EVERYONE WANTS MORE OF EVERYTHING AND WE HAVE TO --IF PEOPLE CAN'T READ AND THEY CAN'T DO MATH, ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS ARE NOT GOING TO FUNCTION WELL AS THEY GROW UP. WHERE ARE WE AT

059ON THE AMOUNT OF TIME WE ARE TEACHING THESE CLASSES? IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO PUT THAT IN CONTEXT TO SOME OF THIS IN REGARDS TO THE OTHER SUPPORTS WE ARE PUTTING AROUND, BUT I'D LOVE TO UNDERSTAND MORE HOW MUCH TIME IS BEING DEDICATED TO BOTH OF THESE CURRICULA, BOTH IN THE CLASSROOM LEARNING AND THE REGULAR SUPPORTS. HOW ARE THE TEACHERS USING THE THURSDAY DAYS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT PE TRAINING? YOU GUYS ARE DOING A LOT. YOU CAME UP WITH SOME IDEAS BUT WHAT HAVE WE BEEN DOING AND WHERE ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES TO TWEAK OR MAYBE NOT TWEAK? THESE TWO ARE --AND THE MATH ONE IS A LITTLE BAFFLING TO ME, A BIT. ALL THE MATH TEACHERS, TOO. ESPECIALLY AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL, THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING THE INTERIM ASSESSMENTS, SO

060KIDS ARE GETTING PRACTICE WITH WHAT OSAS LOOKS LIKE, GETTING THE RESULTS FROM IT, AND THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED AS WELL, SO I THINK IT'S JUST LOOKING BACK, WHAT DID WE DO RIGHT, WHAT DID WE DO, WE THOUGHT WE DID RIGHT, WHAT DID WE DO THAT WE NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY? THE HIGH SCHOOL, WE JUST HAD CONVERSATIONS LAST WEEK WITH KRISTIN AND DESIREE ABOUT WHEN ARE WE TESTING MATH AND WHO ARE WE TESTING WHEN FOR MATH AND SO I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT STUDENT ADVANCED [ INAUDIBLE ], MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T TEST THEM IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T HAD ALL THE ADVANCED ALGEBRA CURRICULUM. SHOULD WE DO THAT IN MAY? THEY TAKE THREE AP CORE CLASSES IN ADDITION TO. SO WHO ARE THOSE KIDS DISAGGREGATED KID I KID? I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO START

061LOOKING AT THAT. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH 11th GRADERS. FOR THE NEW SCHOOL THEY ARE PERPLEXED RIGHT NOW OF WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE THEY DID BETTER, BUT STILL NOT WHERE THEY WANTED TO BE. AND FOR ELEMENTARY WE RELY HEAVILY ON OUR LETTER I READY DATA AND THAT HAS BEEN A BIG FOCUS FOR US FOR EVEN BEFORE WE ADOPTED LETTER I READY, WE WERE USING LETTER I READY DIAGNOSTIC AND WE HAVE BEEN HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT, NOW HOW DO WE PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON OSAS? STUDENTS TAKE LETTER I READY THREE TIMES A YEAR. THEY'RE USED TO TAKING THAT TEST. THEY'RE USED TO THE FORMAT. THEY'RE NOT USED TO TAKING OSAS. THESE ARE THE VERY BEGINNING STAGES THEY ARE TAKING IT SO WE NEED TO HELP THEM AND BECOME MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE FORMAT OF THE TEST

062. THE ITEM TYPES BUT THE QUESTIONS ARE DIFFERENT ON OSAS THAN THEY ARE THE LETTER I READY EXAM SO WE NEED TO GET THE MORE FAMILIAR AND USED TO THOSE TYPES AND HOW TO COMPREHEND THEM, HOW TO BREAK THEM DOWN AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME WORK. YOU BRING UP A REALLY IMPORTANT POINT THAT WE DO LETTER I READY, THAT OUR TEACHERS ARE USING THAT AS A TOOL TO HELP IDENTIFY KIDS WHO NEED EXTRA SUPPORTS IN LEARNING AND THEY WERE ALSO GOOD MARKERS THAT OUR KIDS ARE LEARNING MATH AND THEY'RE LEARNING ENGLISH AND I CAN'T REMEMBER, HAVE WE SHARED I READY DATA, COLLECTIVELY, THE INDIVIDUAL? WE HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE. WE ARE GOING TO BE MEETING WITH THE CURRICULUM ASSOCIATES TEAM TO LOOK AT THE DATA, BECAUSE MY QUESTION IS HOW CLOSELY IS THIS DATA

063CORRELATED TO OSAS? IT'S A LITTLE ODD SO I NEED THEM TO EXPLAIN TO US WHY IT'S OFF AND WHERE THAT DIFFERENCE IS, SO THAT WE CAN KNOW HOW TO ACT AND HOW TO APPROACH IT. WHAT I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR FOLKS TO UNDERSTAND, TO BE AWARE OF AROUND THAT NUANCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO, IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT OUR KIDS ARE LEARNING MATH ENDING WAS THAT WILL HELP THEM BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE AND THERE CAN BE ALL SORTS OF TESTS OUT THERE THAT MIGHT NOT CAPTURE WHAT WE KNOW TO BE TRUE, SO HOW DO WE LOOK AT THE COLLECTION OF THE DATA AND THE INFORMATION? BECAUSE THIS ISN'T THE ONLY DATA THAT WE HAVE THAT TELLS US HOW OUR KIDS ARE TRACKING AND THAT THEY'RE DOING WELL, AND ALL OF IT SHOWS UP

064WITH CONTEXT TO ALL THE AP STUFF THAT WE'VE DONE, AND I THINK IT'S HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND. I HAVE NEVER WANTED TO TEACH TO A TEST BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT'S HELPFUL TO HELP KIDS BE COMFORTABLE AND READY TO DO WHAT'S IN THEIR HEAD AND IT SHOWS UP DIFFERENTLY ON THAT SCREEN. NEXT YEAR ONCE WE GET THE INFORMATION IN JANUARY, WE'LL HAVE TO PICK SOME ASSESSMENT THAT WE'LL DO THREE TIMES A YEAR AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CHOICES ARE GOING TO BE, YET. WE'LL KNOW THOSE AT THE END OF JANUARY. [ INAUDIBLE ] >> YEAH, IN THE INTERIM ASSESSMENTS, WHICH YOU WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE CHOICES BUT YOU NEVER KNOW. DID SAY THAT THEY ARE GOING TO REQUIRE ANY OF THE ASSESSMENTS THAT THEY USE, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE

065TO SHARE THAT IF THERE'S A CORRELATION TO STATEMENTS SO IF I READY IS ONE OF THOSE THAT'S CHOSEN, I READY IS GOING TO HAVE TO DO THE RESEARCH TO SHOW THAT IT'S [ INAUDIBLE ] SO WHATEVER TEST THEY DECIDE, THEY'RE GOING TO COME UP WITH FOUR OF THEM AND WE HAVE TO PICK WHICH ONES WE WANT TO USE. THE COMPANY IS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR [ INAUDIBLE ]. ALL RIGHT. COOL. SO WE KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT PLEASED, COMPLETELY, AND WE KNOW YOU WANT MORE AND YOU EXPECT MORE FROM US, AND WE ARE GOING TO RISE TO THE OCCASION, DO THE BEST WE CAN TO HELP IMPROVE THIS PERFORMANCE. I HAVE NO DOUBT. THANK YOU BOTH. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NEXT AGENDA ITEM, LET ME GET TO THE RIGHT THING. DR. WATSON,

066STANDARDS ASSURANCE REPORT FOR DIVISION 22. CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION WAS OBVIOUSLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND THIS IS THE TIME OF THE YEAR WHERE WE COME AND WE TELL YOU WE ARE DOING ALL THAT AND MORE. WE ARE HERE TO ASSURE YOU THAT WE ARE MEETING ALL OF THE STANDARDS THAT ARE REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF OREGON TO BE A STANDARD SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SO THIS IS CALLED DIVISION 22 ASSURANCES, WHICH MEANS WE HAVE THESE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE RELATED TO OREGON THE'S ACCOUNTABILITY FRAMEWORK, AND THERE ARE FIVE THINGS, MAIN THINGS IN THE FRAMEWORK. BASICALLY THEY COVER CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION, STUDENT HEALTH, STUDENT SAFETY AND SCHOOL PERFORMANCE, AND THEN WE ARE FOLLOWING UP ON THE RULES AND LAWS OF THE STATE OF OREGON. THERE ARE SOME EXEMPTIONS THAT YOU CAN HAVE IN DIVISION 22,

067AND WE DO TAKE SOME OF THOSE. MAINLY THEY ARE IN STUDENTS WHO ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL, IF THEY HAD TAKEN AP COURSES OR THEY'VE TAKEN DUAL CREDIT OR HAVE GRADUATED. WE DO GET SOME EXEMPTIONS AROUND INSTRUCTIONAL TIME FOR DIVISION 22. BUT I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT FOR THE 24-25 SCHOOL YEAR, WE HAVE MET ALL DIVISION 22 STANDARDS. AND THAT INCLUDES ALL OF OUR CURRICULUM STANDARDS? IT DOES. >> AND HOW ARE WE LOOKING FOR FUTURE CURRICULUM STANDARDS THAT ARE COMING INTO PLAY BY THE LEGISLATURE IN 2026? THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION FOR A CURRICULUM PERSON. ACTUALLY WE ARE ON TRACK TO HAVE EVERYTHING. YOU'RE NOW REPORTING FOR LAST YEAR'S. NEXT YEAR WE WILL HAVE TO REPORT THAT WE ARE NOT [ INAUDIBLE ]. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT [ INAUDIBLE ] ALMOST EVERY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT

068WILL BE REPORTING THE SAME THING. NOT EVERY OTHER SCHOOL TAKES IT QUITE SERIOUSLY. WE DO GO THROUGH EVERY SINGLE ASSURANCE AND MAKE SURE AND THAT IS HAPPENING. IS IT POSSIBLE TO, WHEN WE SUBMIT THIS REPORT, GOES TO DE AND IT WOULD --I WOULD LOVE IT IF WE COULD SHARE WITH SENATOR WAGNER AND REPRESENTATIVE WHEN BUT THESE ARE ALL DONE AND GOOD AS WELL. AWESOME. >> THANKS. >> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE DO HAVE TO TAKE --ACTUALLY I'LL TAKE A MOTION. SO DO WE HAVE A REPORT? SO THERE'S NOT A REPORT, TAKEN ORAL REPORT. I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE THE DIVISION 22 STANDARDS ASSURANCE REPORT AS PRESENTED BY ADMINISTRATION. IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND. >> ANY CONVERSATION? ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. >> AYE. MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. SO IT WILL

069BE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE, SENT TO DE, AND SHARED WITH OUR STATE FOLKS. GREAT. ALL RIGHT. PRELIMINARY UNAUDITED JUNE 30th, 2025 GF FINANCIAL REPORT, MR. KETZLER . YES, CHAIR AIRD, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, HERE THIS EVENING PRESENTING OUR FISCAL YEAR 25 YEAR END RESULTS FOR OUR GENERAL FUND AND AS CALLED OUT IN THE BLURB, THERE IS A SMALL SILVER LINING, AS WE'LL CALL IT, WITHIN THAT REPORT, AND THAT IS WHERE ANY FUND BALANCE ENDED UP BEING OVER $6 MILLION AND YOU MAY RECALL MY EARLIER PROJECTIONS, FIRST ONE IN DECEMBER OF 2024, WHEN WE BECAME CLEAR AT LEAST FROM THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET THAT STATE FUNDING WAS NOT GOING TO BE ADEQUATE TO THE WHOLE INCREASING COST OF PERS AS WELL AS OTHER INFLATIONARY EFFECTS THAT WE'VE BEEN --OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ESSENTIALLY IN THE STATE HAVE

070BEEN EXPRESSING THAT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS BUT THERE IS GOING TO BE A LARGE HOLE IN THE 25-27 BIENNIUM AND THAT WAS REAFFIRMED IN MY APRIL 28th UPDATE AND ESSENTIALLY PROJECTED THAT WAY AT THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 24-25 WITH ABOUT A $5 MILLION FUND BALANCE. SO BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM FAIRLY EARLY, WE DID TAKE PROACTIVE MEASURES, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF NATURAL CHANGE OPPORTUNITIES AS THEY AROSE. WE HAD A STAFF PERSON EVEN IN MIDYEAR, WE EVALUATED WHETHER WE WOULD BE ABLE TO REDUCE THAT POSITION, SHUFFLE PEOPLE AROUND, AND WE DID THAT IN A NUMBER OF SITUATIONS. CUMULATIVE THE THOSE DID PAY DIVIDENDS AS WELL AS SOME OF THE NEW STRAINS BUT ALSO SLIGHTLY IMPROVED BALANCE OF THIS YEAR THAT GOT US TO THIS POINT, THE FIVE MILLION-DOLLAR NUMBER MATERIALS AND WHILE

071THAT'S POSITIVE, I STILL WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT ORDER AT $6 MILLION WERE WELL BELOW THE EIGHT PERCENT MINIMUM FUND BALANCE TARGET AND THAT DELTA BETWEEN THE 5% THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AS OF JUNE 30, IN RELATION TO THAT 8% MINIMUM. THAT'S A $3.8 MILLION DIFFERENCE, AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE THAT WE WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT UP IN ONE FISCAL YEAR OR TWO. IT'S GOING TO BE A MULTIYEAR EFFORT AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, DOES INCLUDE THE PERSPECTIVE THAT STATE FUNDING IS GOING TO HOLD UP AND THERE ARE SOME STRONG HEADWINDS TO STATE FUNDING CURRENTLY. THOSE WERE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE SEPTEMBER STATE REVENUE FORECAST AND MORE INFORMATION WILL BE SHARED IN THE NEXT STATE REVENUE FORECAST THAT GETS RELEASED AT THE END OF NOVEMBER, THAT THEY CALL THE DECEMBER REVENUE FORECAST. SO WHILE THIS

072IS A POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT, MAINTAINING A LOT OF DISCIPLINE IN ALL OUR COST DECISIONS. THAT'S NOT HAPPENING JUST BY CHANCE. AS YOU MENTIONED, WE GET ENTREATIES FROM NOT EVERY SCHOOL BUT FROM MANY AREAS WITHIN THE DISTRICT DOOR INCREASED SUPPORT AND WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS THOSE WHERE IT'S ESSENTIAL AND OTHERWISE MAINTAIN COURSE AS IT RELATES TO THE STAFFING ALLOCATIONS WE HAVE THIS YEAR. SO WITH THOSE OPENING REMARKS, I DO WANT TO CALL OUT A FEW THING'S IN THE REPORT. YOU KNOW I DO HAVE THE FINANCIAL NOTES THAT ACCOMPANY EACH OF OUR REPORTS AND AS IS OUR PRACTICE, I CALL OUT IN ITALICS WHERE WE HAVE NEW NOTES OR CHANGES FROM NOTES THAT WERE PRESENTED IN PREVIOUS FINANCIAL REPORT UPDATES FOR THE GENERAL FUND. THE FIRST ONE IS ITEM D FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES. THIS RELATES TO , IF

073I COULD HAVE YOU, MARY KAY, GO TO PAGE TWO OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT ITSELF AND THIS IS OUR CENTRAL SERVICES. YOU SEE UP UNDER SPECIAL SERVICES, PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES, WHERE WE HAVE THE LETTER HE NEXT TO IT, THAT'S THE CORRESPONDING NOTE ON THE WRITTEN NOTES AND THAT WOULD BE EXTENDED ONLY AS A FISCAL YEAR-END, IN RELATION TO A $1.6 MILLION BUDGET AND THAT WAS IN RELATION TO 1.6 MILLION EXPENDED IN BUDGETED IN THE PRIOR YEAR AND EXCUSE ME, 1.2 EXPENDED IN THE PRIOR YEAR AND 1.9 MILLION BUDGETED AND THAT'S PART OF JUST MAINTAINING COST DISCIPLINE OVER THE BALANCE OF THE YEAR AND KIND OF SURGICALLY RELYING ON CONTRACTORS AS WE NEED THEM FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES. THEN THE NEXT ITEM THAT I'VE CALLED OUT IN THE NOTES IS ALSO ON THAT SAME PAGE, PAGE TWO, CENTRAL SERVICES

074COMPUTER NETWORK SERVICES. MOVE WITH ME TO PAGE TWO OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT THIS UNDER CENTRAL SERVICES IN OUR COMPUTER NETWORK AND HAD A BUDGET OF $1.5 MILLION LAST YEAR. WE SPENT ALMOST $1.9 MILLION AND THAT $1.9 MILLION IS ROUGHLY $150,000 MORE THAN WHAT WE SPENT LAST YEAR IN A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE INCREASE FROM THAT 1.7 LAST YEAR TO 1.87 IN FISCAL YEAR 25, IS LARGELY ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE EXTRA COSTS THAT WE EXPANDED FOR A DEVICE REPAIRS. IF YOU'LL RECALL IN FISCAL YEAR 25 WE DISPERSED ROUGHLY $250,000 WHICH WAS WELL OVER $100,000 MORE THAN EXPENDED IN FISCAL YEAR 24, FOR MORE THAN 150,000 MORE THAN WAS EXPENDED IN FISCAL YEAR 24 WHEN WE STILL HAD THE LIBBY TO HAVE THE CLACKAMAS ESD SERVICE DEVICES FOR US BEFORE THEY STOOD THEIR PROGRAM DOWN. SO THOSE ARE

075THE ONLY THINGS I SPECIFICALLY CALL OUT, GO BACK TO PAGE ONE, THERE ARE NOTES THAT ACCOMPANY THE LARGEST ITEMS ON PAGE ONE, OR DIRECT SCHOOL PROGRAM SERVICES. THOSE HAVE BEEN COVERED IN PREVIOUS REPORTS AND YOU WILL NOTE IN THE AGGREGATE THAT WE HAVE SPENT 101.1% OF BUDGETED AMOUNTS SPECIFIC TO SCHOOL PROGRAMS COMPARED TO 100 PER 6% SPENT LAST YEAR AND WHILE SOME YEARS THAT COULD PRESENT A CHALLENGE IN RELATION TO MAINTAINING COMPLIANCE WITH OVERALL BUDGET LIMITATIONS THAT THE STATE IMPOSES ON THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, PLAYS A REPORT THAT BECAUSE THERE IS SOME HEADROOM IN SOME OF THE CENTRAL SERVICE INSTRUCTION CATEGORIES ON AN OVERALL BASIS, WE WERE WITHIN BUDGETED AMOUNTS FOR BOTH INSTRUCTION SERVICES, [ INAUDIBLE ] SERVICES AND ALL THE OTHER SERVICES THAT ARE STATE AND OUR AUDITORS MONITOR US FOR. AND WE CAN MOVE

076ON TO THE BOTTOM OR TO PAGE THREE WITH ME AND MARY KAY. WE HAVE OUR CHARTS THAT TRACK THE CUMULATIVE DISBURSEMENT OF THE EXPENDITURES OVER THE COURSE OF THE FISCAL YEAR, THE AMOUNTS REFLECTED HERE FOR JUNE INCLUDE NOT JUST DISBURSEMENTS BUT ALL OF THE ACCRUED EXPENSES THAT GET REFLECTED AS A LIABILITY AND EXPENDITURE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR INTO JUNE 30th, 2025, SUCH AS ALL OF OUR ACCRUED PAYROLL AS WE DO PAY SOME OF OUR SALARIES AND WAGES IN JULY FOR JUNE SERVICES AND THEN JUST ALL THE BILLS THAT NATURALLY COME IN AFTER JUNE FOR SERVICES, THINGS THAT RECEIVED THE FISCAL YEAR-END. NO MAJOR DEVIATIONS THERE OTHER THAN TO KNOW THAT AT CENTRAL SERVICES THERE WAS A GAP, A GROWING GAP THAT WAS IDENTIFIED IN THOSE COSTS IN THE EARLY PART OF THE YEAR BUT THAT

077KIND OF CLOSED THE BALANCE OF THE FISCAL YEAR AS WE MAINTAIN DISCIPLINE ON SPENDING. AND FINALLY ON PAGE FOUR, WHICH IS OUR REVENUES, THIS REFLECTS OUR FISCAL YEAR AND RESULTS SO IT DOES INCLUDE ACCRUED REVENUES OR REVENUES WE BOOK HAS RECEIVABLES AT THE END OF JUNE 30th, 2005, AND IN THE PRIOR YEAR AS WELL FOR AMOUNTS THAT WERE EARNED AS OF JUNE 30th BUT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN RECEIVED UNTIL JULY OR AUGUST, AND THAT $6,067,000 FUND BALANCE NOW FOR 24-25, THAT'S THE AMOUNT THAT'S REFERENCED IN BOTH THE OPENING STATEMENTS AS WELL AS THE REVENUE DISCUSSION IN THE NOTES. THAT WAS HIGHER THAN BUDGETED, SO HIGHER THAN WHAT WAS PROJECTED BUT STILL WELL SHORT OF OUR MINIMUM FUND BALANCE TARGET AND THEN ON THE REVENUE SIDE WE DID END UP WITH A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT OVER THE

078AMOUNT OF ACTUAL REVENUES RECEIVED IN RELATION TO THE AMOUNTS BUDGETED AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE MORE MONEY THAT'S OVERCOMING OUR CHALLENGES. AS IT RELATES TO THE CHART, NOTHING REALLY SPECIFIC TO OPERATE THERE, PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE EXPECTED IT TO FOR THE FISCAL YEAR INTO JUNE 30th, 2025. SO THIS IS A --I SHOULD'VE NOTED AT THE START, THIS IS AN UNAUDITED REPORT. OUR ACTUAL FIELDWORK PORTION OF OUR AUDIT STARTS NEXT WEEK. WE MADE AVAILABLE TO OUR AUDITORS THIS WEEK THE UNDERLYING SCHEDULES THAT THEY NEED IN ADVANCE OF DOING THEIR AUDIT WORK BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY START FIELDWORK NEXT WEEK. IT'S ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THEY MAY IDENTIFY ADJUSTMENTS. MY PERSONAL EXPECTATION IS THAT IF THEY DO THEN THE MATERIAL ADJUSTMENTS AND, YOU KNOW, IT WILL BE PROBABLY SOMETIME EITHER REAL LATE NOVEMBER, EARLY DECEMBER,

079BEFORE WE CAN GET A FINAL SYNOPSIS AS TO WHETHER THEY HAVE ANY IDENTIFIED ADJUSTMENTS OR NOT. SOMETHING I'LL BE TALKING TO THE SCHOOL BOARD IN OUR DECEMBER MEETINGS. SO THOSE REMARKS CONCLUDE WHAT I ANTICIPATED OR WHAT I PLANNED AS PREPARED REMARKS AND AT THIS TIME I'LL STOP AND SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. YOUR CURRENT YEAR ENDING FUND BALANCES, THIS IS BEFORE YOUR REVISED BUDGET, THIS IS BASICALLY YOU CAN ADJUST THAT TO THE PRIOR YEAR. TO FISCAL YEAR 24-25 POINT IS A REVISED --YOU MENTIONED WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET TO THE 8% MINIMUM FOR IT TO TAKE A COUPLE YEARS. WILL YOU BE REVISING THOSE PROJECTIONS, YOUR PROJECTIONS MOVING FORWARD? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND DR. SCHIELE AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT WHEN WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO A DATE THE BOARD WITH

080A FINANCIAL MODEL UPDATE. SO WE ARE ANTICIPATING ONE OF OUR MEETINGS IN DECEMBER. WE ARE VERY INTERESTED IN WHAT THE NEXT STATE REVENUE FORECAST SHOWS FOR US AND SOMETIME IN DECEMBER THE STATE WILL ALSO BE DOING ANOTHER UPDATE OF WHAT I REFER TO AS WITHIN THE YEAR REVENUE RESETTLING. THERE IS AT THE START OF EACH NEW FISCAL YEAR, THEY'RE DISTRIBUTING STATE FUNDS BASED UPON ESTIMATES THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE PROVIDED TO THEM, TYPICALLY IN LATE DECEMBER OR JANUARY, THE ACCOUNTABLE YEAR THAT ENDED ROUGHLY 6 MONTH'S BEFORE AND IN DECEMBER THEY DO AN UPDATE WHERE EACH COUNTY WILL OR EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL HAVE RECEIVED FROM ITS COUNTIES HOW MUCH WE ACTUALLY DO EXPECT TO RECEIVE IN PROPERTY TAX REVENUES THIS YEAR, WHICH GOES INTO THE STATE REVENUE FORMULA. WE'LL ALSO HAVE OUR OCTOBER 1 ENROLLMENT DATA

081UPDATED AND POSSIBLY UPDATED ELEMENTS OF THE OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE STATE REVENUE FUND AND SO THEY DO AN IN ADJUSTMENT AND THAT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS HAS USUALLY ENDED IN SLIGHT BUMPS IN PER STUDENT FUNDING FOR LAKE OSWEGO SCHOOL DISTRICT. OUR FUNDING HAS LARGELY STAYED FLAT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, WHEREAS OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE SIGNED, ON THE WHOLE, HAVE SEEN SLIGHTLY LARGER DECREASES FOR FUNDING SO WE'LL HAVE THAT UPDATE SOMETIME IN DECEMBER. I WAIT FOR THAT BECAUSE SOMETIMES THOSE ADJUSTMENTS ARE NOT THAT SMALL. NONE OF THEM HAVE EVER BEEN REAL LARGE. SOMETIMES IT'S A FEW HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS SWING ONE WAY OR THE OTHER DEPENDING ON WHERE OUR NUMBERS FALL SO I AM ANTICIPATING NOT PREPARING AN UPDATE FOR ONE OF OUR DECEMBER MEETING IS. QUESTIONS? MR. KETZLER, CAN YOU REMIND US HOW

082MUCH MONEY DOES IT COST TO RUN THE DISTRICT FOR A MONTH? FOR A MONTH IT'S ROUGHLY $10 MILLION. SO OUR SAVINGS IS IN THEIR YET. IT WAS A LARGE --YES, THE STATE FUNDING RAN OUT OVER A MONTH EARLY, THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO CLOSE SCHOOL EARLY. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU'RE DOING TO FIND EVERY PENNY, SO WE BUILD UP THAT CONTINGENCY, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S WHAT WE DIRECTED YOU GUYS TO DO. SO THANK YOU. QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SO IN THAT CASE, TO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS OUR CELL TOWER UPDATE. YES. SO I INCLUDED IN THE PACKET A SCHEDULE OF OUR CELL TOWER LEASES AND [ INAUDIBLE ] SHOWED UP ON SCREEN. I'LL SPEAK TO THAT FIRST AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON ALL THE ELEMENTS RELATING TO

083THIS. WHAT I HAVE HERE IS A SCHEDULE OF OUR SEVEN SEPARATE CELL TOWER LEASES THAT WE HAVE FOR A CELL ARRAY THAT ARE ACTUALLY AFFIXED TO SIX TOWERS. ONE OF THESE IS A CO-LOCATION AGREEMENT. AND THE AMOUNTS OR THE CONTRACT LEASE MAX ITERATION COLUMN WHICH IS KIND OF IN THE FLESH TONE THERE, THOSE SHOW THE MAXIMUM DURATION OF A CELL TOWER LEASE, IF THE CELL TOWER OPERATOR EXERCISES ALL OF THE RENEWAL OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM, AND THOSE RENEWAL OPTIONS GO IN FIVE-YEAR CHUNKS SO TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE FIRST ONE, AT& T SITE AS IT REFERRED TO IN THE LEASE MATERIALS, ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE RIDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL FIELD, AND HAS A MAXIMUM EXPIRATION OF APRIL OF 2040. BUT YOU'LL NOTE, WE MOVE MORE TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHEDULE HERE, THERE

084IS A CURRENT TERM, A START DATE AND END DATE. THAT'S THE CURRENT FIVE YEAR PERIOD THAT THE LEASE IS OPERATING WITH SO THAT CURRENT FIVE-YEAR PERIOD STARTED OVER THIS PAST APRIL AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY UNTIL APRIL OF 2030. AND THE CELL TOWER OPERATOR HAS THE SOLE OPTION AS TO WHETHER THAT GETS EXTENDED OR NOT. WE DO NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND OR TO CLOSE IT AT THE END OF THIS TERM WITHOUT VIOLATING THEIR CONTRACT RIGHTS OR PAYING THEM SOME FORM OF COMPENSATION. AT THE END OF THE 2030 TERM BUT NOT THE 2040 TERM. 2040, IT'S OUR DISCRETION AT THAT TIME. YOU KNOW IF THEY HADN'T COME TO US WITH A REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OR IF THEY CAN COME TO US WITH A REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION, THAT WE DENY IN 2040,

085WOULD BE THE END DATE FOR THAT PARTICULAR CELL TOWER, AND YOU'LL NOTE THAT UNDER THE MAX DURATION THOSE [ INAUDIBLE ] DEPENDING ON WHICH CELL TOWER YOU'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT AND WE DO HAVE FOUR OF THEM THAT ACTUALLY COME UP WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS, AND SO I DO HAVE TWO CELL TOWER OPERATORS THAT I TOLD THEM WE'D PUT A PAUSE ON ANY EXTENSIONS AT TIME BUT THEY WILL WANT INFORMATION FROM US EARLY IN CALENDAR YEAR 2026, ON THE T-MOBILE SITE HERE ON THE LAKE OSWEGO HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS, AS THAT ONE DOES EXPIRE IN JUST SIX MONTHS. [ INAUDIBLE ] >> DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, NUMBER SEVEN. GETS THE CONTRACT. YES, AND CC STANDS FOR CROWN CASTLE? BOTH AMERICAN TOWER AND CROWN CASTLE ARE WHAT I CALL CELL TOWER OPERATORS. THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY CELL TOWER

086PROVIDERS, WHICH T-MOBILE IS A CELL PHONE PROVIDER, NOT CELL TOWER PROVIDER. SO T-MOBILE, AT&T, THOSE ARE CELL PHONE PROVIDERS. THEY --WE ALL PROBABLY SUBSCRIBE, OR NOT ALL BUT MOST OF US SUBSCRIBE THROUGH T-MOBILE OR VERIZON, AT&T, AND THERE'S A FEW OTHERS, MANY OF WHICH ACTUALLY DO CO-LOCATION OR SUBLEASE AGREEMENTS THROUGH THE MAJOR CELL PHONE PROVIDERS, AND -- I JUST HAVE A QUESTION. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CROWN CASTLE, AMERICAN TOWER, THOSE ARE THE PROVIDERS, SO AT&T OWNS THEIR OWN TOWERS, IT LOOKS LIKE. ARE AMERICAN TOWER AND CROWN CASTLE, WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THEM AS COMPETITORS WITH EACH OTHER? YES, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THEM BEING ANY TYPE OF -- THE REASON I ASK IS I SEE THAT FOR EXAMPLE, NUMBER FOUR THERE TALKS ABOUT AMERICAN TOWER PROVIDES FOR VERIZON, ARE THEY SORT OF REPRESENTING VERIZON IN THAT CASE

087AND ARE THEY TAKING INTO ACCOUNT INFORMATION OR VERIZON ALSO HAS A TOWER NUMBER SIX THERE. WHAT WOULD BE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN -- UNLESS I BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION THEY WOULDN'T NECESSARILY AUTOMATICALLY KNOW THAT VERIZON HAS ANOTHER TOWER ON DISTRICT PROPERTY. I RAISED THAT TO THEIR ATTENTION. I EXPRESSED SOME DISFAVOR WITH HOW SOME THINGS HAVE GONE AT OTHER ROUND. IS THAT OF INTEREST TO THEM? >> IT'S OF INTEREST TO THEM BUT I CAN'T SAY -- IT'S HARD TO GAUGE HOW DEEP OF AND INTERESTED IS. ICY. ALL RIGHT. >> THOSE ARE THINGS I WANTED TO CALL OUT ON THE MAXIMUM DURATION OF THE LEASE, THE CURRENT TERMS THAT EACH OF THEM OPERATE WITHIN LIKE WHAT THE LIMITED RANGE OR WHAT LIMITED POWER CURRENT TERM REALLY HAS FOR US WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY NIL. THAT'S AGAIN THE LESSEE'S

088RIGHT UNDER THESE LEASES AS TO WHETHER THEY GO BEYOND THE CURRENT TERM. SUMMARIZED ON HERE THE --WHAT I CALL THE STANDARD MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR BOTH OUR FISCAL YEAR THAT JUST ENDED AND THEN OUR CURRENT FISCAL YEAR THAT JUST STARTED THIS JULY 1st, AND SOME OF THE LEASES HAVE LEASE AMOUNTS THAT INCREMENT ANNUALLY AND SO FOR EXAMPLE, THE FIRST TWO WITH AT&T, THOSE GO UP ON A 3% AMOUNT PER YEAR SO THAT'S WHY YOU'LL KNOW THAT 26 IS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN 25 VIRCHOW OTHERWISE IT'S MORE TYPICAL THAT THE LEASE AMOUNTS GO UP WITH THE FIVE-YEAR LOSS THAT THEY RENEW AND TYPICALLY GO UP BY 15% OR FACTORS OF THE CPI CHANGEOVER THAT PERIOD. AND THEN I'VE INCLUDED THEM ON THE BOTTOM OF THAT. THERE'S AN EXPECTED VALUE AND THAT OUR GL ACTUAL AND THERE'S A

089SLIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE AMOUNTS I'M SHOWING ARE AT THE START OF EACH FISCAL YEAR, ON FISCAL YEAR 25 THOSE AMOUNTS ARE COMMON FOR THE LEASES AT THAT TIME AND THEN SAME WITH FISCAL YEAR 26 BUT SOME OF THE INCREASES TAKE PLACE WITHIN THE MIDDLE OF THE FISCAL YEAR. AND THEN ALSO SOMETIMES WE DO RECEIVE PAYMENTS IN LATE JULY, I MEAN IN LATE JUNE, THAT RELATE TO A JULY PAYMENT IN OUR COMMON PRACTICE, IS THAT A PAYMENT RECEIVED IN JUNE IS FOR JULY RENT, OUR STANDARD PRACTICE IS TO RECORD THAT AS DEFERRED REVENUE, NOT RECOGNIZE THE REVENUE UNTIL JULY OF THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR BUT SOMETIMES THEY SLIP THROUGH SO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE $2400 DIFFERENCE SUGGESTS TO ME THAT WOULD BE WITHIN FISCAL YEAR 24-25, THE DIFFERENCE THERE BUT

090GENERALLY SPEAKING IT'S SEVEN LEASE AGREEMENTS PROVIDE ROUGHLY $225,000 ROUGHLY PER YEAR FOR US CURRENTLY IN LEASE REVENUES AND SOME OF THESE WHEN THEY GO TO THE NEXT FIVE-YEAR TERM, WE WILL SEE IS AND THEN WE'LL HAVE DISCUSSIONS, SOMETIME PROBABLY EARLY IN THE CALENDAR YEAR 2026, ABOUT WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO ENTERTAIN EXTENSION DISCUSSIONS WITH ANY OF THE PARTIES THAT HAVE LEASES MATURING WITHIN THE NEXT --NATURALLY ENDING WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS. MS. ADAMS RIGHTLY NOTED THAT I HAVE PROVIDED TO HER EARLIER, MONTHLY LEASE VALUE ON THE NUMBER SIX LEASE, ON THE CELL TOWER, ON THE BASEBALL AT THE LAKERIDGE CAMPUS AND TAKING THESE NUMBERS FROM ANOTHER SCHEDULE AND I TRANSPOSED THEM OR THAT ORIGINAL SCHEDULE HAD THE VALUES FLIPPED BETWEEN THE TWO CROWN CASTLE LEASES BUT I'LL HAVE CROWN CASTLE CONFIRM FOR ME EARLIER THIS FALL

091ABOUT THE $2719 . THE LAST PAYMENT FOR THE CROWN CASTLE LAKERIDGE SITE AND THAT DID INCREASE HERE FOR THIS CURRENT TREND TO GET $2796.14. AND THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER OBSERVATION THAT MS. ADAMS MADE IN RELATION TO ZIPPY FIBER, SO I HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH CROWN CASTLE IN RELATION TO THAT. SIMPLY IS NOT A CONTRACTOR THAT WAS NOT WORKING FOR CROWN CASTLE, BUT CROWN CASTLE UNDER THEIR LEASE THROUGH DISTRICT INTENT HAD AGREED TO IMPROVEMENTS BEING DONE BY VERIZON. VERIZON CONTRACT DID WITH SIMPLY FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE FIBER CONNECTIONS TO THIS NEW SITE SO SOME WORK THE VERIZON AND THE WORK THAT THEY WERE DOING WAS REPRESENTED TO ME AS WITHIN THE FRANCHISEE RIGHT-OF-WAY ON OVERLAND ROAD AND NOT ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. THERE IS A DISCREPANCY THERE IN TERMS OF WHAT IS BEING RECORDED IN THE

092EASEMENTS. THAT WOULD BE BETWEEN ZIPPY AND THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT THAT THE CITY MAINTAINS WITH THE UTILITIES THAT HAVE ACCESS RIGHTS TO THEIR OTHER FACILITY AREAS THEY HAVE WITHIN THOSE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT RIGHT OF WAYS WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY ON MAIN THOROUGHFARES, OR NOT NECESSARILY MAIN THOROUGHFARES BUT ON PUBLIC STREETS. SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO SEE IF I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. OKAY. SO ZIPLY WAS HIRED BY VERIZON TO DO THE WORK THAT VERIZON NEEDS DONE. [ INAUDIBLE ] [ INAUDIBLE ] CONNECTION AND THEY ARE WORKING OFF OF AN EASEMENT THAT THE CITY HAS ARRANGED FOR THE FRANCHISE. AND THAT'S THE ONLY SPACE THEY CAN WORK WITHIN IS WHAT THEY HAVE THE EASEMENT FOR? CORRECT. AND THAT'S NOT A --THAT'S WAY OUTSIDE -- THAT'S NOT A DISCIPLINE, ABSOLUTELY. SO OKAY. THE CITY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THAT QUESTION

093IF SOMEBODY FEELS LIKE IT'S BEING ENCROACHED ON THE PROPERTY. YES. AND WHETHER IT'S A CURRENT FRANCHISE EASEMENT AGREEMENT AS WELL, REPRESENTED THAT ACCORDING TO HER RESEARCH BUT THAT AGREEMENT HAS EXPIRED OR THAT EASEMENT HAS EXPIRED, BUT THAT'S ALSO WITH THE CITY. THAT DOESN'T RELATE TO ANY EASEMENT THAT'S ON DISTRICT PROPERTY. THAT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF OVERLAND ROAD, ALL OF OUR EASEMENTS ARE ON THE NORTH SIDE ON DISTRICT PROPERTY. OKAY. >> I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT, SO MULTI-PARTS, THESE CONTRACTS ALL KIND OF STRUCTURED THE SAME WAY IN THE SAME SORTS OF RIGHTS AND AGREEMENTS AND SO FORTH, ARE THEY ALL FAIRLY SIMILAR OR DO THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT STRUCTURE? THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME, WHAT I WOULD CALL REAL BROAD STRUCTURE IN THE SENSE THAT THEY HAVE FIVE-YEAR RENEWABLE SEGMENTS THAT

094ARE EXERCISABLE AT THE OPTION OF THE [ INAUDIBLE ] FOR THE VENDOR, THAT'S THE WAY CONTRACTORS THAT WE HAVE, WE CAN CHOOSE, WE HAVE NO SAY IN THAT, THEY NEED TO SAY WE'RE DONE, WE'RE OUT OF HERE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO PAY YOU ANYMORE. THEY CAN EXERCISE THEIR OPTION TO EXTEND IT OR THEY CAN WALK AWAY INSTEAD WITH THAT. SO WE BASICALLY SIGNED CONTRACTS THROUGH 2040 THAT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER -- [ INAUDIBLE ] >> FOR THAT FIRST ONE, FOR NUMBER ONE. IF WE SAID, WELL YOU KNOW WHAT, WE WANT YOU TO LEAVE, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THEN? WE DON'T WANT YOU THERE ANYMORE. FIRST HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH OUR COUNSEL IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AND HYPOTHETICAL, THERE'S PROBABLY SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS IT COULD GO. THEY COULD SAY POUND SAND, WE'LL SEE YOU IN COURT. THEY

095WILL TRY TO ENFORCE THEIR RIGHTS IN COURT AND SEE CONJUNCTIVE RELIEF OR THEY CAN GO TO COURT AND SAY OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO SUE YOU FOR PUNITIVE DAMAGES AND [ INAUDIBLE ] DAMAGES BECAUSE HE VIOLATED OUR CONTRACT RIGHTS. HOW AM I GOING TO PROVE THAT? I DON'T KNOW BUT I KNOW THAT THERE IS ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THEM FOR HAVING THESE LEASES. THAT'S WHY THEY PAY US RENT EVERY MONTH, IF WE WERE TO ABROGATE THEIR CONTRACT RIGHTS THERE WOULD BE CONSEQUENCES TO THAT. THEN THE THIRD OPTION IS IT MAY BE OPEN TO A RELOCATION AGREEMENT THAT STILL MET THEIR PARAMETERS AND WE HAVE NEVER CONSTRUCTED A CELL TOWER OURSELVES BUT SEVERAL YEARS AGO WE DID HAVE A PARTY THAT STILL EXPRESSED INTEREST IN A TOWER AT LAKERIDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THEY AT THAT TIME SAID IT

096WAS JUST UNDER $200,000 FOR THEIR CONSTRUCTION WORK. NOW I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS JUST THE TOWER ITSELF AND ALL OF THE CONNECTIONS OR WHETHER IT ALSO INCLUDED THE CELL ARRAY ON TOP OF IT, ALL OF THE UTILITY WORK THAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO CONNECT IT TO UTILITIES SO I NEVER EXPLORED WHAT THAT $200,000 MEANT BUT AS [ INAUDIBLE ] I KNOW THAT'S PROBABLY A FLOOR AND THAT WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO. AND SO THERE'S THAT WOULD AGAIN BE A THEORETICAL OPTION. OKAY SO FOR THIS BOARD IN PARTICULAR OF INTEREST, THERE IS A CONTRACT THAT ENDS, AT&T CONTRACT THAT ENDS IN JANUARY OF 27, BOTH WITH A STARK NEXT TO IT, AN AMERICAN TOWER ONE THAT ENDS IN JULY OF 27, ANOTHER AMERICAN TOWER ONE THAT ENDS IN MARCH OF 27 AND A CC HOLDINGS

097WHICH ENDS THIS MAY. SO OF THOSE FOUR, THIS BOARD WOULD BE THE ONES KIND OF CONTEMPLATING IF WE WANT TO SIGN ANOTHER MULTIYEAR AGREEMENT WITH ALL OF THEM. SO THE CC HOLDINGS, WHICH COMES UP FIRST, ALSO OWNS THE ONE AT LHS. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE THERE'S SOME THINGS IN THAT CONTRACT TO REALLY UNDERSTAND AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE ARE NEGOTIATING POWERS. YES AND WE CAN'T MAKE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THAT HERE BECAUSE REAL PROPERTY NEGOTIATIONS THAT WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DO WITH AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, BUT YES, THERE IS SOME LEVERS THAT WE HAVE --CELL TOWER PROVIDERS AND THE CELL PHONE COMPANIES HAVE CHOICES AVAILABLE TO THEM, AS WELL. I BELIEVE ONCE YOU'RE IN A LARGELY BUILT OUT AREAS SUCH AS LAKE OSWEGO, THOSE CHOICES BECOME CONSTRAINED BUT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY

098OWNER OF LARGER OPEN SPACES IN THE CITY OF LAKE OSWEGO OR WITHIN OUR BOUNDARIES. SO THERE'S COMPETING MARKET FORCES THAT [ INAUDIBLE ] BUT IN A SENSE THAT COULD END. IT'S SUPPOSED TO END ON MAY 20 AND MAY 2026 POINT IT'S ENTIRELY THE SCHOOL BOARD'S DISCRETION. DO YOU ANTICIPATE --THAT'S COMING UP PRETTY QUICKLY. THE SECOND ITEM I WAS GOING TO SPEAK TO IS UPDATING THE BOARD ON THE IDENTIFICATION OF TESTING SERVICES PROVIDER SO WE EVALUATED THREE WITH OUR LEGAL COUNSEL, EVALUATED THREE DIFFERENT COMPANIES, ONE THAT WE SPENT SOME TIME CONSIDERING ULTIMATELY WITH DREW. WE HAVE SELECTED APEX, WHICH DOES A LOT OF TESTING IN REAL BROAD AREAS, SO THEY DO TESTING, LEAD WATER TESTS, ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS TESTS SUCH AS AIR QUALITY , SO THEY DO TESTING ACROSS A REAL BROAD RANGE OF SPECTRUM AND ALSO

099HAVE THE EQUIPMENT AND QUALIFIED STAFF TO ASSESS THE RADIOFREQUENCY REGULATION THAT COMES WITH CELL TOWERS AND WE'VE ACKNOWLEDGED RF RADIATION IS A THING. IT'S NOT IONIZING RADIATION, WHICH IS IMPORTANT TO DISTINGUISH FROM IONIZING RADIATION, SUCH AS X-RAYS AND GAMMA RAYS AND RADIATION STUFF LIKE THAT, THAT ACTUALLY CHANGE YOUR DNA, THAT MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR LEVEL, THAT CAN BE VERY DAMAGING. BUT WE ARE IN THE FINAL STAGES OF PREPARING OUR AGREEMENT WITH APEX SO WE ANTICIPATE AT ONE OF OUR DECEMBER MEETINGS WE'LL BE ABLE TO SHARE THEIR ASSESSMENT OF THE PREVIOUS ANALYSIS THAT WAS DONE BACK IN 2021 PLUS THEIR READINGS AT RELEVANT LOCATIONS AND FOR THE DURATIONS THAT THEY BELIEVE PROVIDES THE EVIDENCE THAT WOULD SUPPORT THEIR ANALYSIS THAT THEY'LL BE PRESENTING TO US. SO THAT WILL BE AT ONE OF OUR DECEMBER MEETINGS WHERE WE'LL

100BE PRESENTING THAT INFORMATION AND AFTER WE GET THAT INFORMATION AND THE BOARD HAS THE DISCUSSION, WE'LL THEN HAVE DISCUSSIONS AS TO WHETHER WE WANT TO ENTERTAIN ANY EXTENSION OPTIONS THAT WE MIGHT BE WILLING TO CONSIDER WITH THE PRODUCTS AND LEASES THAT WE'LL BE UP WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR TO TWO YEARS. SO TO THE STANDARDS AND THE METHODOLOGIES OF WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO --HOW THEY'RE GOING TO DO THE TESTING, WILL TONY'S TEAM --HOW WILL THAT BE INFORMED? HOW WILL WE HAVE INFLUENCE OVER MAKING SURE THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE ARE ANSWERED SO WE JUST DO THIS ONCE? SO TONY'S TEAM WILL OUTLINE THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE SCHOOL AS WELL AS DURATION, TESTING, SO THAT IF THERE ARE CUMULATIVE EFFECTS WE UPDATED, MAX OUT WHETHER THEY'RE ON A CUMULATIVE BASIS, THOSE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT THAN JUST INTERMITTENT THEN

101WE MIGHT TAKE IT ANY ONE SITE VERSUS ANOTHER, AS WELL AS HEIGHT DIFFERENCES AND THOSE --THE VERIZON SITE IS AT A 60 FOOT HEIGHT OF THE TOWER ON THE SOUTH, SOUTHEAST BASEBALL POLE AT LAKERIDGE AND SO WE'LL MEASURE. THAT THE MEASUREMENT TAKEN AT THAT 20 FOOT HEIGHT, YOU KNOW, IN AREAS WHERE YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE CONCERNS AND WE DON'T WANT TO DIMINISH THOSE CONCERNS SO WE WILL HAVE SOMEBODY TAKE INTO THAT AREA AND THEY'LL HAVE EQUIPMENT THAT WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK INTO THAT, THOSE AMOUNTS. I WOULD JUST ASK THAT THERE WERE SPECIFIC COMMENTS ABOUT TYPES OF MEETINGS SO THOSE HAVE ALL BEEN IN THE RECORD SO CONSIDERED BY EVERYONE? YES. ALTHOUGH I JUST WANT TO SAY FOR THE RECORD, I THINK WE WANT TO BE REALLY RESPONSIVE AND GET THE TESTING THAT IS

102GOING TO BE USEFUL AND HELPFUL IN DECISION-MAKING. AND CERTAINLY DEMONSTRATE US TO BE IN GOOD NEIGHBORS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CANNOT TEST FOR EVERY SINGLE HOUSE THAT WE ARE NEAR. WE CAN'T AND SO I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE WANT TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS AND I DON'T WANT TO CREATE A PRECEDENT ON EXPECTATION THAT WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME. WE CANNOT DO THIS FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON. SO I WANT US TO BALANCE OR I HOPE WE WILL BALANCE DOING READINGS THAT ARE HELPFUL IN GETTING INFORMATION AROUND WHERE WE'VE HEARD FROM NEIGHBORS, THAT IT HAS BEEN CHALLENGING, AND THIS IS THE TEST FOR THE DISTRICT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING EXPOSED NEAR OUR PROPERTIES AND OUR STUDENTS. PART OF THE REASON WE SAID WE WANTED THIS TEST IS BECAUSE

103SINCE THESE LEASES WERE SIGNED, WHEN I LOOK AT THE START DATE, A WHOLE LOT OF THAT, TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED, THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THIS. YOU GUYS HAVE MADE A REAL GOOD POINT THERE, JUST NOW REFLECTED I WANTED TO PROVIDE THIS AS PART OF OPENING REMARKS ON WHEN I SHARED THE SCHEDULE IS RECOGNIZE THE TIMING OF WHEN ALL THESE LEASES WERE ENTERED INTO. SO IT WAS IN THE MID-90s AND MEASURE FIVE WAS APPROVED IN 1990, AND THAT HAD SOMETHING AS FAR AS MEDIUM AND LARGE SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON LAKE OSWEGO IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE LARGEST ON A UTILITY BASIS BY ITS NEGATIVE IMPACTS. WE STILL HAD THE SAME TAX BASE THAT WE HAD IN 1990. WE WOULD NOT HAVE A FUND BALANCE PROBLEM, FOLKS. WE WOULD STILL BE OPERATING AS MANY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

104AS WE DID BACK IN 1991 POINT THE DIFFICULT CHOICES THAT THE DISTRICT HAS HAD TO MAKE OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS, I CAN TRACE BACK TO MEASURE FIVE, PASSED IN 1990. AND MEASURE FIVE THANKFULLY DID COME IN WITH A PHASE IN, SO THE FINAL PHASE IN WASN'T COMPLETED UNTIL 1895, AND THAT'S WHEN THESE LEASES WERE ENTERED INTO. IT WAS SHORTLY AFTER THAT AND I WASN'T HERE WITH THE DISTRICT AT THAT TIME. I DIDN'T START UNTIL 1997 BUT I DID READ SOME OF THE MINUTES THAT ACCOMPANIED SOME OF THESE DISCUSSIONS ON CELL TOWER LEASES, AND THIS WAS PART OF A REVENUE OPTIMIZATION STRATEGY THAT THE DISTRICT WAS LOOKING AT ACROSS A BROAD RANGE OF POTENTIAL AVENUES. THEY WERE -- HAD A SERIAL LEVY PASSED IN 96 IN COOPERATION WITH THE CITY THAT PROVIDED FUNDING OF $1

105MILLION A YEAR FOR SOME OF OUR EXTRACURRICULAR PROGRAMMING, SUPERINTENDENT AT THE TIME. THEY ARE UNDER EVERY ROCK, TRYING TO FIND MEANINGFUL REVENUE SOURCES THAT WILL ALLOW THE DISTRICT TO PROVIDE A LEVEL OF SERVICES THAT OUR COMMUNITY EXPECTS FROM OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. SO SORRY I DIDN'T REMEMBER THAT AS PART OF MY OPENING REMARKS, BUT THANK YOU , THAT TRIGGERED THAT, I DID WANT TO MAKE THAT COMMENT SO IT WASN'T LOST AS TO WHY THAT WAS DONE. AND SCIENCE HAS CHANGED. INFORMATION HAS CHANGED. ARE THERE OTHER QUESTIONS? THANKS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. KETZLER. ALL RIGHT, DR. SCHIELE, LORAC IGA WITH THE CITY. YES, SPEAKING OF CITIES , IN THE PACKAGE I SEE AN AMENDMENT TO THE LAKE OSWEGO RECREATIONAL AND AQUATIC CENTER, WHICH WE CALL LORAC, INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY. ALSO IN THIS PACKET I

106PUT THE ORIGINAL IGA AND THE PREVIOUS AMENDMENTS THAT WE HAD WITH THEM ON THIS IGA THESE CHANGES HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY CITY ATTORNEY AS WELL AS OUR ATTORNEY. THE MAJOR CHANGE IS IN SECTION 6.2 POINT THREE, WHICH IS ABOUT WHEN AND HOW MUCH WE WILL PAY THE CITY TO USE THE POOL AND BASED ON THE POOL OPENING LATER THAN WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE OPENING, WE HAVE MOVED THE DATE TO START OUR PAYMENTS NOVEMBER 15th AND EACH YEAR THE FIRST PAYMENT BEING $204,000, THE NEXT PAYMENT BEING $208,000 IN THE NEXT PAYMENT $212,000. AND YOU CAN SEE IT JUST GOES UP $4000 EACH YEAR. ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE IS THAT DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 27-28, THE DISTRICT IS GOING TO REVIEW ALL THE ACTUAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH MANAGING AND OPERATING THE POOL FOR THE

107FIRST TWO FULL YEARS OF OPERATION WITH THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING THE FEES TO BE PAID BY THE DISTRICT IN FUTURE YEARS BECAUSE OF THE CITY AND DISTRICT COMPLETE THIS REVIEW PRIOR TO MAY 1st, 2028, AND THEN UP WITH A NEW PAYMENT SCHEDULE BY JULY 1st 2028. THERE'S A LOT OF IMPORTANT THINGS. I LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT YES, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PAYS THE CITY TO USE THE POOL. WE DO NOT GET IT FREE. WE PAY $204,000 PER YEAR JUST TO USE IT. PLUS -->> PLUS THE CITY FUND THAT HELPS IF THERE'S ANY BREAKDOWN OF THE MAJOR MECHANICAL SYSTEMS IN THE POOL, THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SERVE IT SO THERE ARE TWO PIECES. IS 50,000 A YEAR. WITH THE 204 IT'S 254,000. IT IS A BIG CHUNK OF CHANGE THAT WE

108PAID TO USE THE POOL, WHICH WE NEED TO BECAUSE WE HAVE WATER POLO AND SWIM TEAMS WHO USE IT. AND CAN YOU REMIND ME AND MAYBE FOLKS LISTENING, WHEN WE CALCULATED ALL THIS OUT, WHETHER WE BUILD OUR OWN POOL OR REBUILD OUR OWN POOL, OR GO ON OUR OWN WITHOUT THE CITY, THIS STILL WAS A BETTER DEAL, IF I RECALL, THIS WAS STILL SIGNIFICANTLY MORE AFFORDABLE THAN WHAT IT WAS IF WE WERE TO DO OUR OWN THING. I'M NOT SURE I SAY SIGNIFICANTLY BECAUSE IT IS BETWEEN 250 AND 300 TO RUN OUR POOL. BUT THIS IS A MUCH NICER POOL SO WE ARE GETTING A BETTER VALUE. WELL, AND ALSO, WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE PAID TO RECONSTRUCT IT, REBUILD IT AND SAVE MONEY TO PATCH IT UP AND SO FORTH, AND WE ARE GETTING

109A NEW FIELDHOUSE OUT OF IT SO -- WE ARE STILL VERY EXCITED ABOUT GETTING OUT OF THE POOL BUSINESS. THIS IS A CHANGE IN THE IGA AND THE CITY COUNCIL HAD TO VOTE ON THIS AS WELL JUST BECAUSE WE DID CHANGE THE DATE WHEN THE BILLS WERE DUE. ARE THERE THINGS --I'M SORRY, I'M TRYING TO READ AND SEE HOW RESPONSIVE THEY'RE GOING TO BE TO OUR NEEDS. WILL THE IGA THAT YOU'VE ALREADY PASSED IS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL ONES SO THAT IS NOT UP FOR CHANGING. IT'S PAYING THEM LATER. WHICH IS AN AMENDMENT. WE DID NOT MAKE 2024 PAYMENT. IT WAS MOVED OUT BECAUSE IT WASN'T OPEN. NOT PAYING THAT, WE ARE STARTING. WE ARE STARTING ON NOVEMBER 15th. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THIS --IS AN ACTION ITEM. KYLE MOVED TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE

110LORAC INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT. THANK YOU DIRECTOR WALLIN. IS THERE A SECOND? THANK YOU DIRECTOR LUPTON. ANY FURTHER CONVERSATION? ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. >> AYE. MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. OKAY. ITEM 6.9, APPEAL OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION. THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE TO NOT HEAR THE APPEAL THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE LAKE OSWEGO SCHOOL BOARD. I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. OKAY. OTHER BUSINESS? ADJOURNED AT 7:55.
