Wrap Up - Theory of Action

If we focus on the K-12 instructional core within our bi-literate, intercultural context:

● And if we learn collaboratively at all levels● And if we prioritize the use of data in our

cycles of inquiry● And if we align our K-12 system with a

proficiency-based approach

Then we will have high academic achievement that is equitable for all students.

Woodburn Arthur Academy is operated by the non-profit organization, Mastery Learning Institute, which is governed by their Board of Directors. The school principal is Glenn Izer.

1. School Personnel During this year, our school occupied the permanent facility at 575 Gatch Street. Six classrooms were contained in this facility, including Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. At the end of last year we had one teacher decide to take another job closer to their home, one teacher took a job in another school district because of financial gain, another teacher was replaced due to philosophical differences, and our Intervention Specialist relocated to southern Oregon. Each of these teaching positions were filled with qualified licensed teachers. We also had three teachers rotate through our organization to teach PE, Music and Technology. 2. Enrollment - Retention

The BAAC will still do an official report at the November 17th meeting. Projects will be moving forward quickly. Pat Hyatt and JJ Henri presented: Current Projects: WC/DO- almost complete HVAC Screen- on order 2 sides- the rest will be ordered if needed after Success This screen has been approved by the City. WHS- design phase Master plan of sprinklers and of the burned out area Complete fire loop- enough water and pressure to add sprinklers to entire HS campus. Sprinklers will be installed by zones. First zone will be Athletics (gyms) and damaged area to remodel 7 classrooms Conceptual design for burned out area- general layout. District and HS staff has been involved with program design with architects.

28

Right now we trying to figure out how many zones can be sprinkled in one summer. Total of 6 fire sprinkler zones in the HS In 2020 completed estimated project. Sprinklers will be installed at the high school with bond money. Insurance settlement will be used to cover remodel. Washington in design phase Original plan- changed- kitchen in current gym Phase I- 14 classroom addition Board Member asked: At what point do we go to the city? Soderstom has been meeting with the City since April of 2016. The City is concerned of the land use process to include fire access and what neighbors will be seeing. When Sod met with the school staff and nutrition staff- kitchen issue did come up. Central space is important to the BAAC and has been monitored and brought up at the BAAC meetings. The new gym will seat 900 students. 3 diagrams presented- Site plan- discussions with City to date. First Original site plan- adding bus loop/fire late, patched area in plan- hammerhead Modulars will removed 12 months after completed time space Fire lane- concept Initial concept meeting- City did not require storm water Submitted and received feedback required continuous loop around the whole building, pushed fire lane out. 2nd revised site plan- clearance in bus lane, relocate ADA parking, required access to Hardcastle- road was going to be used by construction City is requiring the sidewalk widening for the front of the school property on Lincoln Streen and requiring a sidewalk on Hardcastle. Sidewalk on Hardcastle does not exist (on District property side). Original site plan- First submitted in April 2016 May 4, 2016: storm water plan August 2016 City returned design plan with concerns with height of the building, in Marlene’s experience it was nothing she saw in the fire code. Which is now pushed the fire lane into the Soccer field. Soderstrom has written letters to the City. City of Woodburn has provided comment notes after each design has been presented. Soderstrom has done everything the City has asked for. Soderstrom trying to get the Land Use hearing scheduled. Expense has increased Original Site Plan- meets code BAAC Member: Staff from planning department does not have the experience with these projects Supt. Ransom mentioned that the District has worked through this process since April. This was our first real test of getting to know one another. December 8th next Planning Commission meeting. Board Member would like to send a letter to the owner of the house using our property (Hardcastle side).

29

Nellie Muir- property behind school is being developed. Smith Family Trust- developer is submitting a Master plan to the City Smith family- donating 2 acres of land to District adjoining Nellie District will purchase an additional 4 City and District communication to have a partnership for a park Cost with work with roofing- cost efficient is to sprinkle the building Concentrating on the core facilities- currently for 250 but houses 500 students Without the Smith property we were limited Current roof at Nellie- still functional 2 issues- rain drain system and HVAC would need to be replaced with new roof Success- design phase Easement still pending Adjacent property getting appraised- pending Board authorized- eminent domain to require an easement We notified the party that we intended to do this in a letter, next step would be to file to the court. Our right to take the land is not the issue. We have to pay the owner fair price Once filed the District can take the land, start the Success project while moving the suit forward and negotiate the price Our offer has to be the first thing that we present. We are waiting from the appraisal company. Property owner has not been given permission to get go inside. As soon as we get the appraisal we file with the court. Then there is a 40 day waiting period. The City has stated that once we have received the court paperwork for the easement that will be sufficient to move forward. We have it in writing. After 40 day waiting period. Easement will be granted. We will re-submit with the City. The City has already spoken off the design. Solar Array- concept Net Metering approval Type I permit, requires construction Most cities who need to build- take easements- City Beaverton for example. It is unpopular but common. Cost Report- WC/DO was a combined project- when the Bond projects were originally planned- Splitting into 2 projects with Success. The entire scope Premium- approved by Board ASC- moved into the DO/WC Creative solutions- Business Center is housing 2 WC staff- Asking staff to model and be patient- ASC won’t be housed here. In 2020 we will stabilize. We are growing. Fire hazard? Privacy for parents?

30

WC- peaks and valleys- they can use additional space BAAC Members mentioned the following:

• concerned with Budget • Success and DO- did not have a correct budget, • Impressed with how things are going. Overcrowded district, other Districts built

new schools. We have a challenging budget. Seismic Grant- State has seismic grants available. We have applied twice for Lincoln and Washington and denied. The state has opened more grants. ZCS has been hired to work on our application. Each application will be available to receive up to 1.3 M. 2 grants- would be applied Pat- request that the BAAC meetings are recorded. Request for WCAT for live feed John J- complex project Oversite and accountability is imported.

PROPOSED OSBA LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES FOR 2017-2018 Approved by the Legislative Policy Committee on August 22, 2016

The Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) believes funding a strong system of public education is the best investment Oregonians can make to strengthen our economy, create thriving communities and improve the quality of life for every Oregonian.

In order to accomplish these goals, OSBA will introduce and support legislation which:

Supports Student Achievement:

OSBA will actively promote legislation that leads to increased academic achievement for all students from early learning through post-secondary. OSBA will advocate to ensure local school boards and communities control the implementation of programs, curriculum and the allocation of resources so that every student is college or career ready upon graduation or completion of their academic program. OSBA will support efforts to increase graduation and high school completion rates, lower the number of drop-outs, close opportunity and academic achievement gaps and provide additional supports for students from traditionally underserved student populations.

Provides Stable and Adequate Funding:

OSBA will actively promote legislation to increase state and federal funding for the public school system to ensure adequate and stable funding for each school district and Education Service District (ESD) so that they may provide a quality public education for every student.

OSBA will actively promote legislation to restructure Oregon’s school funding system to eliminate the financial volatility of Oregon’s public schools.

OSBA believes a balanced approach is necessary to increase education funding and to provide stable and adequate funding of Oregon’s public school system. OSBA will actively promote legislation that strives for this balance by advocating for the restructure of Oregon’s revenue system, promoting job creation and increasing opportunities for economic development across Oregon.

Local Determination and Shared Accountability:

OSBA will actively support legislation that gives locally elected boards the ability to make decisions in the best interests of their students and communities for programs, services, curriculum and resource allocations.

70

2

OSBA will advocate to ensure each school district is empowered and given the flexibility to determine the educational needs of their students and to provide services and programs that will maximize student achievement.

OSBA will highlight the need for shared accountability to improve student achievement between state and federal policy makers, the business community, locally elected board members, parents, students and community members across Oregon.

Opposes Mandates:

OSBA will actively oppose any federal or state imposed mandate that does not lead to increased academic achievement for students and is not accompanied with the necessary additional funding to implement the mandate, including all costs associated with the mandate.

Promotes Capital Construction/Capital Improvements:

OSBA will continue to actively promote legislation that provides additional state level resources to school districts to help pay for capital construction/capital improvement needs, as well as deferred maintenance costs for all school facilities.

Contains Educational System Cost-Drivers:

OSBA will actively promote legislation that provides relief for school districts from cost drivers that are beyond the control of the local school district or school board. These cost drivers include, but are not limited to, the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), health insurance and any state or federally mandated program or service.

PROPOSED OSBA LEGISLATIVE POLICIES FOR 2017-2018 Approved by the Legislative Policy Committee on August 22, 2016

Section 1: Finance

PROPOSED 1.1 Investing in Oregon’s Public Schools to Ensure Adequate and Stable Funding

OSBA supports increasing state resources to school districts so that Oregon’s schools are competitive nationally and globally and each school district and Education Service District (ESD) has the funds necessary to fully support operational, instructional and student achievement goals.

OSBA supports the role of locally elected school boards to set spending priorities and opposes using the State School Fund distribution formula to mandate specific expenditures. OSBA supports school funding equalization. OSBA supports continued funding of local option equalization grants; local option property tax revenue should not be included in the State School Fund.

OSBA supports increased funding for all levels of the public education enterprise to support increased achievement for every child and student. OSBA supports the Quality Education Commission's (QEC) effort to promote best practices to improve student outcomes and identify funding necessary to achieve Oregon’s 40-40-20 goal by 2025.

PROPOSED 1.2 Reforming Tax Policy

OSBA supports efforts to provide the revenue necessary to attain the educational goals of Oregon’s education system, restructuring tax policy to reduce the volatility of Oregon’s current system and to provide for a diverse and fair tax system to fund public education in Oregon.

OSBA supports modification of the state's personal and corporate income tax “kicker” law to allow “kicker” funds to be deposited into a “rainy day” account for public education and used in times of economic distress.

OSBA supports the authority of local districts to seek voter approval for supplemental operating revenue from a variety of additional sources, including local option levies.

OSBA supports efforts to modify the property tax system to mitigate the impacts of property tax compression.

72

4

PROPOSED 1.3 Mandate Relief, Paperwork Reduction and Public Funds for Public Schools

OSBA advocates for mandate relief and paperwork reductions for school districts and ESDs as a means to streamline bureaucracy, remove duplicative or unnecessary reporting and get more resources into the classroom. OSBA opposes any mechanism that diverts public funds, including tax credits and vouchers, to private, religious or for-profit schools or erodes financial support of the public school system.

PROPOSED 1.4 State Department of Education Supporting Districts

OSBA supports adequate funding for Oregon Department of Education programs and state level initiatives that are sustainable and provide quality technical and programmatic assistance and supports to school districts and ESDs targeted at improving student achievement.

OSBA supports providing resources and supports to school districts and ESDs to support and ensure the equitable distribution of any grant or targeted investment monies.

OSBA opposes any effort to create an accountability or intervention system that would lead to the state take-over of any local school, school district or ESD.

OSBA supports the inclusion of school board members to all state-level workgroups or committees connected to educational issues to allow for input from locally-elected education policy makers.

PROPOSED 1.5 Financial and Program Accountability

OSBA supports a strong system of meaningful school district and ESD financial accountability for the expenditure of public funds and program accountability for student achievement and outcomes.

PROPOSED 1.6 School District Capital and Infrastructure Needs

OSBA supports use of additional state resources and the issuance of state general obligation bonds to assist school districts and ESDs in providing modern, well equipped schools and academically appropriate classrooms and buildings that provide safe, structurally sound and healthy learning environments to promote student achievement.

OSBA supports policies that ensure collaboration at the local level to address the infrastructure needs of school districts, including consideration of the financial impacts of urban renewal, systems development charges and enrollment growth due to new construction.

73

5

PROPOSED 1.7 Oregon’s Common School Fund

OSBA supports maximizing the assets and the investment returns of the Common School Fund as an additional state resource for school funding in Oregon

OSBA will vigorously advocate before the State Land Board to ensure that it fulfills its fiduciary obligation to manage the resources in the Common School Fund for the greatest benefit of the current and future generations of schoolchildren in Oregon.

Section 2: Programs

PROPOSED 2.1 School Improvement

OSBA supports state-level school improvement efforts provided they are implemented in ways that grant local school officials maximum flexibility to incorporate community needs and priorities.

PROPOSED 2.2 Special Education

OSBA supports increased categorical funding and enhanced levels of state and federal aid for the costs associated with special education programs throughout the education system, including programs for children birth through age 5. OSBA supports full funding for students with the most severe low-incidence, high-cost disabilities, including those served in out-of-district or out-of-state placements.

PROPOSED 2.3 Education Service Districts

OSBA supports the role of ESDs to assist school districts in achieving Oregon's educational goals by providing equitable, high-quality, cost-effective, locally-responsive educational services on a regional basis.

PROPOSED 2.4 Curriculum, Technology and Online Education

OSBA supports providing a well-rounded and rigorous curriculum for all students, including opportunities for music, art, PE, world languages, STEM, career and technical education and co-curricular activities.

OSBA supports curriculum related decisions made at the district level and opposes state or federal instructional mandates.

OSBA supports the use of English Language Learner and dual language immersion programs as a viable way to provide needed supports for emerging bilingual speakers.

74

6

OSBA supports increasing access to technology to enhance and support curriculum delivery and promote greater student achievement.

OSBA supports locally developed alternative education programs as a tool to address the varied educational needs of students.

OSBA supports state level funding to support and improve the technology infrastructure available to school districts and ESDs.

OSBA supports removing online education programs from the charter school statute and creating a separate section within the law for online educational programs.

OSBA supports state financial and professional development resources so districts can implement the Oregon state standards and student assessments and provide appropriate information and updates to the public. OSBA supports local control of curriculum and materials related to the Oregon state standards.

PROPOSED 2.5 Public Charter Schools

OSBA supports public, district sponsored charter schools as an additional tool to provide innovative educational options to students.
