The student presentation said that in 2019, 686 students paid a mandatory $30 ASB fee, generating $20,550 for student activities. After the fee was removed and an optional $35 sticker was offered, revenue fell: the presentation recorded $8,155 in 2023 and $4,235 in 2024, with only 21 students purchasing the sticker this year. \"Since the fee became optional, funding has been unpredictable. We can't rely on the ASB sticker to cover our finances,\" the student representative told the board.

Students said the fee supports free admission to home events, reduced dance ticket prices, club access to funds, and other year‑round activities; they asked the board to consider options so events and clubs are sustainable. Board members questioned whether students had polled the broader student body; the students said they had raised the issue in leadership and club meetings but had not surveyed the entire student body, and they agreed to conduct a schoolwide survey.

Board members said the district previously removed the mandatory fee to reduce barriers to participation and called the current shortfall an unintended consequence. One board member suggested meeting with ASB leadership and district staff to explore options and noted that the counseling office will consider students' financial need and provide fee waivers where appropriate.

Ending: The board offered to meet with ASB leaders and school administration to discuss next steps and requested a broader survey of student opinion before taking any board action.

The plan pulls together several state and federal programs — including early literacy, Student Investment Account (SIA), and high‑school success funds — into a single integrated strategy the Oregon Department of Education will evaluate.

Brennan summarized the planning process, noting community engagement, a needs assessment focused on early literacy and on‑track high‑school metrics, and a focus on historically underserved student groups. \"So the purpose of being, presenting to you tonight is to share what was prioritized in the plan, to explain how the plan was developed, to hear feedback from you, on the plan now that it has been developed, and to present the integrated guidance applications and plans for North Bosco County School District and Mozart Community School for board approval, which is required in order to submit the application,\" Brennan said.

Key investments cited in the packet include youth outreach workers funded from CSI/TSI funding, professional development for the science of reading and curricular materials funded through the early literacy grant, roughly five FTE supported by the high‑school success grant, and roughly 32.685 FTE currently funded by SIA. The presenters said they developed longitudinal projected growth targets (LPGTs) and aligned local assessment measures to those targets.

Mosher Community School representatives described their local priorities and budgets: early literacy funding of about $63,000 and SIA funds around $200,000, which the school plans to use for a K–3 literacy specialist, a full‑time SEL teacher, enrichment and teacher professional development.

The staff noted the integrated plan is a two‑year application and that the packet contained draft LPGTs and metrics. Because the plan was not listed as an action item on the published agenda, Brennan recommended rescheduling a short virtual meeting (options suggested for the following Tuesday or Wednesday) so the board can formally approve and submit the application by the state deadline (the packet indicated an end‑of‑month deadline). \"So my recommendation is we schedule a virtual meeting either next Tuesday or Wednesday so that we can submit the plan,\" Brennan said.

Ending: The board thanked staff and agreed to set up a virtual meeting to take formal action so the district can meet the application deadline.","District staff reviewed a draft integrated guidance (2025–27) application aligning multiple state grants, described prioritized outcomes and funding allocations (early literacy, SIA, high‑school success), and recommended scheduling a virtual board meeting to approve and submit the application by the state deadline.",{"_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},6260242,"Nutrition services outlines NutriSlice menu tool and upcoming federal limits on added sugar and sodium",959,4019000,4978000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3134190-41482bf52d2c4ef7d8def2479df1f62e&start=4019&end=4978","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3134190-41482bf52d2c4ef7d8def2479df1f62e/thumbnail_4019000.jpg","/articles/6260242/Oregon/Nutrition-services-outlines-NutriSlice-menu-tool-and-upcoming-federal-limits-on-added-sugar-and-sodium","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6260242-6e5f468e83009a5dc3445b4af5b8b47f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770433375&Signature=BKor-bSs9EbtSJm3KsJuDeBsAb5Jk3QkhevPsMMtp3HQDQixa2jZzXvVbhNPJAA4T0u3xmxsmzAdKwnr6Hqy2T~saLGMw3SMDbOZB391W5BQllETmml5twVeXWsB-LwgVgtILHugphiMG1GeoBaRs6EPLBQRd3N3HhrVjs2kR7pu9tSN3MQDrlclMn7AJzwqNcuPLY4eUVc~ZcmhvgWwAoRJIF0XkiaQOHSTHmyjgaprQYlb3FSjYcDSaf0NvJ33ZnUlmV8kD4fgK2-v11qBqsJ~LHF0RVjCmESkbBXm9zNI8-zK2vZDsd4aA-QiJCiD4oLOtr9VXyWmmj5uOv6PtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tamara Taylor, the district’s director of nutrition services, and Sodexo regional staff briefed the board on a new online menu tool and on federal and state nutrition requirements that will change some meal recipes and product availability beginning July 1.

Taylor introduced NutriSlice, an online menu and phone‑app tool that will publish daily menus for each school, allow filtering for allergens and carbohydrate counts, and produce printable menus for families and school nurses. \"We have some changes coming in, July 1,\" Taylor told the board, adding that the NutriSlice system allows menu filtering for allergens and carbohydrate counts and can be printed monthly or daily.

A Sodexo regional representative explained the regulatory background: federal rules and state meal patterns require limits on added sugars, and the district will phase down sodium in a stepwise approach. The representative said manufacturers are already reformulating products (for example, school‑specific cereals and flavored milk) to meet the new thresholds. \"We are required by both federal and state law to limit the amount of added sugars served to less than 10% of the total calories students get per week,\" the representative said.

Board members asked about keeping culturally relevant or scratch‑made items that students favor. Nutrition staff said there is some flexibility: the district participates in regional menu‑committee meetings where managers and dietitians provide feedback and recipes for inclusion; locally, managers can make modest recipe adjustments and include items that fit production records and ODE requirements. Taylor noted some items, including commodity orange juice, are challenging because flavor differs from commercial products.

Staff described feedback mechanisms: periodic surveys, school‑level input from food service leads, and direct contact with the nutrition office. They also noted the production records required by the Oregon Department of Education feed the NutriSlice menu and that menu committees must balance regional consistency with local preferences.

Ending: Nutrition staff left contact information and offered to return to staff or board meetings for deeper review of the meal patterns and to support community questions about menu changes.","District nutrition staff and their Sodexo representatives introduced NutriSlice online menus and explained upcoming July 1 nutrition changes, including lower added‑sugar and sodium limits and constraints that affect menu development and second‑entree availability.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6260248,"Board extends superintendent contract, adopts supplemental budget, OKs travel; tax note described",3196,3847000,7043000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3134190-41482bf52d2c4ef7d8def2479df1f62e&start=3847&end=7043","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3134190-41482bf52d2c4ef7d8def2479df1f62e/thumbnail_3847000.jpg","/articles/6260248/Oregon/Board-extends-superintendent-contract-adopts-supplemental-budget-OKs-travel-tax-note-described","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6260248-f117c7b6200bc42847dfecad4223b8be/orig.mp4?Expires=1770433375&Signature=ls~3ENQddWyma75SQBZuzTa0KTseHWck3lkDbNQlmTJ-8cTWtWoCObWO5Wn7Imv1SfOSWHRm5HzyZ3y8j-PXKe4qOmGG7E9C0l3A6PJhYs1l386HuOe35ldWW3H~GmG9LhRkYMr794mj0p7rhDX6o9I65JoZmN8AlIcQNMpuuYX6vHPn7UT-hKfNftwKQuDbwApM6oZ14ZZDIQ491jo73bxcizUxGeFw~7RDcfJOvZ7ZC-wkrSn0~4RM8TkSr1ZPvPADEQetCnFgC~J57kvJXlErFtNO5sMZF3hk4hoUeZlkp6WtXAvYuu7ggKXfmkX29OvEpSFz2ndwKnYp24i-hg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Wasco County School District Board of Directors on the evening’s agenda approved several formal actions including a contract extension for Superintendent Carolyn Bernal, a supplemental budget related to state one‑time special‑education pay, participation in a tax‑anticipation note pool, and state travel for a high‑school robotics team.

The board announced that, after completing its annual evaluation, Superintendent Carolyn Bernal’s contract has been extended through June 30, 2028. The board’s statement said the superintendent’s performance across eight professional standards was rated “accomplished or effective” and that the district will work with Bernal to set new goals.

The board passed Resolution 24‑25‑13 adopting a supplemental budget to reflect funds from SB 5701, described in the meeting as a one‑time allocation to pay staff identified as working in special education. The resolution text in the packet links the allocation to the 2024–25 fiscal year; the board recorded the motion as passing but did not provide a roll‑call tally in the public record.

The district described Resolution 24‑25‑14, authorizing participation in the OSBA tax‑anticipation note pool, saying the district intends to borrow $1,800,000 in early June and to repay the note with November property tax collections. The district said it is using an established annual practice because of federal funding uncertainty and a cautious revenue forecast; the transcript records the board discussing the plan but does not record a final roll‑call tally in the packet excerpt.

Board members also approved state travel for a Dallas High School robotics team to attend the VEX World Championships in Dallas, Texas (May 5–9). The motion to approve the travel was moved by Director David Carparicio and seconded by Director Andrew Buck and was approved by voice vote.

Other items on the consent and action agendas included the reading of the board’s public statement on the superintendent evaluation and several first‑reading policy items; the meeting record shows the policy GAB revisions were a first reading and therefore not acted on.

Votes at a glance

- Superintendent contract extension (Carolyn Bernal): outcome — approved; vote tally — not specified in the transcript; action — contract extended through 06/30/2028.
- Resolution 24‑25‑13 (supplemental budget tied to SB 5701 one‑time special‑education payments): outcome — approved; vote tally — not specified in the transcript; notes — funds must be expended in 2024‑25 per SB 5701 text referenced in the meeting.
- Resolution 24‑25‑14 (authorize participation in OSBA tax‑anticipation note pool; intent to borrow $1,800,000): outcome — described in meeting packet; vote tally — not specified in the transcript excerpt.
- TDHS VEX World Championships state travel: motion by David Carparicio, second by Andrew Buck; outcome — approved by voice vote.

The board packet and presenters repeatedly noted that some votes reflected statutory timing and one‑time state allocations; where the transcript did not record a full roll call or tally the article notes that the transcript did not specify counts.

Ending: The meeting moved later into presentations and first readings (integrated guidance plan presentation, nutrition services update), and the board scheduled follow‑up for items requiring formal approval that were not on the published action list.","The North Wasco County School District Board of Directors extended Superintendent Carolyn Bernal’s contract through June 30, 2028; adopted a supplemental budget tied to SB 5701 one‑time special‑education payments; authorized district participation in a tax‑anticipation note pool; and approved TDHS robotics travel to the VEX World Championship.","actionData","errors"]
