Duncan said the district’s primary social channel reached more than 58,000 people in its highest month and highlighted several high‑reach posts that generated external engagement. She described ParentSquare as a successful tool the district used that day to notify families about an incident at Joseph Lane Middle School and said the system provides real‑time notification, parent reactions and staff follow‑up capabilities.

Duncan said the district created career pathway guides for each pathway the district is developing and coordinated outreach with counselors and principals so students can include pathway choices in course requests. Board members asked whether directors can be added to ParentSquare; Duncan said director accounts exist and the platform’s notification settings can be customized to limit volume.

Board members praised the communications work. One director said the district’s Facebook page is a positive presence in the community; another thanked Duncan for turning ideas into messages that inspire staff and families. Directors suggested the district increase outreach about career pathways to elementary families so students and parents begin thinking earlier about options.

No formal actions were taken from the communications update. Duncan said she would share additional materials and residency data for dual‑credit participation upon request.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","February 26, 2025 Roseburg School Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Communications coordinator Chelsea Duncan reported large social‑media reach, use of ParentSquare for urgent messaging, and new career‑pathway guides the district will promote to families and counselors.","taxTitle","Douglas County SD 4, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",38600,"location","Oregon","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6660495,"UCC president touts dual‑credit growth, new health and technical programs in Roseburg partnership",1494,466000,1960000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2435084-055c496942765afa721c8a9d2f8c81bb&start=466&end=1960","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2435084-055c496942765afa721c8a9d2f8c81bb/thumbnail_466000.jpg","/articles/6660495/Oregon/UCC-president-touts-dualcredit-growth-new-health-and-technical-programs-in-Roseburg-partnership","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660495-56b73c73863e51815013c55d9f28076c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770940148&Signature=Hbdva~O7-AvrJz7s6bwcXLAtRUs7QqchNTnluVHYw9OdEr39UEMbCjap4iq1wBPzgm~8cCkYOksXFFxYCLV2Qiur3E-TGWS3BFibEzDzfAa0~B-VWA1hrphldk1Y9N5~llVJErdhiH5a7mC8WzsmDj9dUIFHABxGeeBtV5CpYtFEU7m5JihsiAnxuOxRsZdyQvo3y2for9U0WQVSDK6JIhGvWA-GKAQG4Mb10AWyOFfunPCrfxPAw4TB2i2vhS18mjoW39-j4HbQzULqVHK~fX-7lWom67-vn9Xk25SUv6pP~~di3Z9IQkjxZbpKF~sCQvFOcJc~kS4bxjikZzRbjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Umpqua Community College President Dr. Rachel Portland told the Roseburg Public Schools Board the college is expanding dual‑credit offerings and workforce programs aimed at keeping students local and filling regional healthcare and technical job openings.

Dr. Portland presented enrollment and program data showing dual-credit participation rose from 203 students in 2022–23 to 306 students in 2023–24; she said that increase saved families about $612,000 in tuition last year. Portland framed dual credit and CTE expansion as part of an integrated strategy to provide technical skills and degree pathways that lead to family‑supporting wages.

Portland listed existing and recently added programs available locally: certified nurse assistant (CNA), dental assisting, EMS/paramedic, registered nursing (RN), licensed practical nurse (LPN), phlebotomy, medical assisting, occupational therapy assisting, surgical technology, apprenticeship pathways, radiology technician and respiratory therapy technician. She said dental hygiene is “coming soon” and described partnerships that let students progress from associate to bachelor and beyond, including a bachelor of science in nursing in partnership with OHSU and a bachelor’s in social work with Idaho State University. Portland also said the college plans a bachelor’s in medical laboratory science with Idaho State and expects to develop master’s and residency programs in clinical fields in partnership with regional providers.

Portland and the board discussed regional workforce shortages. She noted that Oregon’s healthcare sector added 15,000 jobs in one recent year and that, as of January 2025, more than 18,800 healthcare and social‑assistance positions in Oregon were listed as vacancies. Portland described Roseburg and the surrounding area as a federally designated health professional shortage area and said the college meets quarterly with local health providers — including Aviva Health — to ensure clinical placements and program alignment with employer needs.

The superintendent and board members reflected on the partnership’s local value, including shared staff positions and facility efficiencies. Portland emphasized access and pathways, saying: “We take everybody. Everybody that shows up at our door — they’re our students,” and urged the board to continue strengthening integration between the college and the district.

Board members asked for data on how many UCC students live inside the Roseburg district; Portland said she has a map that shows student residence by heat map and offered to provide more precise counts. The board praised UCC’s work and encouraged broader K–12 outreach so younger students and families begin considering career pathways early.

No formal action items or votes were taken on the partnership update during the public portion of the meeting.","Umpqua Community College President Dr. Rachel Portland updated the Roseburg board on expanding dual‑credit participation, new health‑career programs and plans to grow bachelor’s and master’s pathways locally to support regional workforce needs.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6660500,"Roseburg board unanimously adds year to superintendent’s contract, extending agreement through June 30, 2028",60,90000,150000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2435084-055c496942765afa721c8a9d2f8c81bb&start=90&end=150","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2435084-055c496942765afa721c8a9d2f8c81bb/thumbnail_90000.jpg","/articles/6660500/Oregon/Roseburg-board-unanimously-adds-year-to-superintendents-contract-extending-agreement-through-June-30-2028","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660500-6a46e6e7a636bc84cb3c80de2cda516d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770940148&Signature=ng0HmP4gPWBW97AuS9S3lWd5ltvvV4qlKA8WyJqpwqYhL6yMVAJQNslWgzBh8H80y2DlfuavFYIAoVjZC9f4jFFM04K4T4kbpOdwR7rIlyOr5Q~Yd9qXt1oJN8NdnYDN3wr9x7UfzGe9rGj9DxW5j3nVRtSLrBGg5p-lb0Yjskgw8iRfnuXqbAEBHSZFipQdyKw8n5OsJFEoTg58aJjsgXRUovZIj-nFiKQ3yl~ru8syxiZnFEGxRAdCSUY2IO-cRW7ouB4wlX~TkuFBBpeTMbfJeib5SMALzvGXXMFXZ-J4Mr0egj~Mj1xSveJfLdfLzTCgPhuipis1mIZWCedTww__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Roseburg Public Schools Board of Directors voted unanimously to add one additional year to the district superintendent’s employment contract, extending the district’s three-year rolling agreement to run July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028.

Board chair introduced the item after the board completed the superintendent evaluation in executive session and asked for a motion to add one year to the contract. A board member moved and another seconded; the board then took an oral vote and recorded unanimous approval.

The board read a prepared statement praising the superintendent’s leadership. The chair said the superintendent “continues to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to our students and community,” and highlighted district-level investments in career technical education partnerships and fiscal planning as examples cited in the evaluation.

The contract described in the meeting is a rolling three-year agreement; adding one year will alter the contract’s effective window to July 1, 2025–June 30, 2028. The transcript records the name of the superintendent inconsistently: when the motion was introduced the name was recorded as “Jerick Gordon,” and the prepared statement later refers to “Jared Corden” (also appears as “Cordon” in the meeting record). The board did not record a roll-call vote in the portion of the public transcript provided.

No statute, ordinance, or other legal authority was cited in the public discussion. The board did not attach conditions or contingencies to the extension in the portion of the meeting on the public transcript.

The board concluded the vote and moved on to scheduled work-session reports. The meeting record does not include a written copy of the amended contract in the public portion of the transcript.","The Roseburg Public Schools Board voted unanimously to add one additional year to the superintendent’s rolling three-year employment contract, an action the board took following an executive-session evaluation.","actionData","errors"]
