Members of the Science National Honor Society described outreach and fundraising activities, including a can-collection fundraiser that helps finance trips. Students said they attended the State of the Coast Conference, met researchers from Oregon State University and acquired an autonomous research sailboat named Hesperia equipped with a water-temperature sensor, air-temperature sensor, camera and solar panel. Student presenters said the sailboat will upload continuous data to a public website and that students expect to launch it in the Pacific as part of a research festival.

Laura Willis, introduced as a high school junior and vice president of the Science National Honor Society, said the club operates a can-recycling fundraiser and has taken students to regional conferences. Student presenters said the sailboat project will provide near-shore oceanographic data for scientists and educators.

Separately, representatives from the TRIO programs (Upward Bound and Educational Talent Search) described services for low-income, first-generation college students. Emma Meyer identified herself as the Upward Bound specialist; Natalie Morrow introduced herself as an educational talent specialist. Student ambassador Laura (last name not specified) described leadership training, a college-preparatory class at SWAC and a college trip to New York and Washington, D.C. TRIO staff described program outcomes from the previous year including a reported 91% on-time graduation rate for participants and 50–57% college enrollment metrics (figures presented by program staff).

TRIO staff said the programs provide free tutoring, college-application help, test preparation, a six-week summer enrichment program and two free college classes for matriculating seniors. Staff said 25 laptops were distributed to graduating seniors using grant funding.

Board members and staff thanked students and staff for the presentations and asked for continued updates, including future data from the sailboat project and outcomes for TRIO participants.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","5-1-2025 NBSD Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Students and program staff presented the Science National Honor Society projects, an autonomous sailboat research project, Trio Upward Bound and other student activities, highlighting hands-on learning, travel opportunities and student leadership.","taxTitle","North Bend SD 13, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",60272,"location","Oregon","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_46":81,"_48":82,"_50":83,"_52":84,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":85,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":86,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6562300,"District narrows options for K–12 science curriculum, plans June recommendation",377,4407000,4784000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3276896-f7d9aece9c945fb8f632badff159bbe1&start=4407&end=4784","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3276896-f7d9aece9c945fb8f632badff159bbe1/thumbnail_4407000.jpg","/articles/6562300/Oregon/District-narrows-options-for-K12-science-curriculum-plans-June-recommendation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6562300-506035927ccbe24133c68dc7ce028641/orig.mp4?Expires=1770489401&Signature=XFf63Cuj~m3SYNdnFR8wqrhAwVJ3Cez0S~2szU4KUB3zZa5~7Fca94i-zCbLlVVMC1227bQieGfSlY7HRCnnWvhbm~r1OckauvDKCXdia~ZbvcvRZKtJXic8ve2xXo4LZu5BrX1XHZWh2oH-93L-XLnyMXW4yRj5TOG5RuP9bJQwBINvGzm4Hsm4GCyyrc2jH5acZPkS0QLN9HFY4ru2wzlWBJKwpSmiDXLdVs0NKBEpgL5Ss2oEHJGRPpqmRxfuqb~kkzH65yD9UHz5tbou~9KR835LAplXCKf33C~LD2DYpvsEx--ZyZxVfBZBnjIbNiHPxPF9ZE-dyvlK9Z5YqQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District staff told the North Bend School District Board of Directors on May 1 that they have narrowed the pool of K–12 science instructional materials but are not yet ready to adopt a single program.

At the high school level staff said they plan to re-adopt most existing materials with selected updates; the high-school program under consideration is widely used in Oregon and aligns with state standards. At the K–8 levels, staff reviewed seven to ten publishers and convened grade-level teams to evaluate materials on ease-of-use, standards alignment, classroom rigor and student engagement.

Staff emphasized the middle-school challenge of meeting the Next Generation Science Standards’ expectation for an integrated, phenomena-based approach rather than the district’s older strand-by-strand (physical/earth/life) model. When district staff queried a remaining publisher that called its product “integrated,” the publisher acknowledged North Bend would be an early adopter in Oregon for that product. Staff then retrieved additional materials — including the TWIG/Imagine Learning program recommended by the state science specialist — for further comparison.

District leaders said they had opened review materials to the public and invited families to view publisher samples at the district office. Staff recommended additional review time, especially at the elementary and middle-school levels, because the adopted materials are likely to remain in use for a seven-year adoption cycle. They said the board should expect a formal adoption recommendation at the June meeting.

No adoption vote was taken May 1. Staff said they will return with a recommendation in June after further side-by-side review and teacher feedback.","North Bend School District staff reported progress toward adopting a K–12 science curriculum aligned to Next Generation Science Standards; elementary and middle choices require further review before a June recommendation.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6562305,"Board proclaims National School Nurse Day, Teacher Appreciation Week; consent agenda approved",261,2799000,3060000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3276896-f7d9aece9c945fb8f632badff159bbe1&start=2799&end=3060","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3276896-f7d9aece9c945fb8f632badff159bbe1/thumbnail_2799000.jpg","/articles/6562305/Oregon/Board-proclaims-National-School-Nurse-Day-Teacher-Appreciation-Week-consent-agenda-approved","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6562305-c6088f0718ebca7857dd73cba99486fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770489401&Signature=M-yeMnikYk7cLUXtTUjeSJBxYmAKQuZ-0lx1kXvsyBFXwAc-e16B0c8fe6onbg06gHOtlhzc87r4JJAmSinlOQ5wvenCoMWayyHYRqOhIi-Grp2KEJFYJrOVbUOtVuu7TjgvLRwiRNB7t5XcN6ES1RxO2vJQ8vaJAnLESyLx7REv6B7Mz7MnkQf7OLS09CG4jPCqsUCb0Ijw5bmgAcp8VzYAxMiLi7sDI88XqfWxo8~P3HLW~RLQsHa~Fdvf1xNfMjzdJQOXZbDpiBEqjlGycR0ybbXwVA8GsgR9oiz-kut3VSLy53ctYBHFgrrvp2duP2UvL8rtfOimovKIhU1TTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Bend School District Board of Directors approved its consent agenda and passed two proclamatory resolutions recognizing school staff during its May 1 meeting.

The consent agenda was approved by voice vote with board members present voting “aye.” The board then approved a resolution recognizing National School Nurse Day and another proclaiming Teacher Appreciation Week for May 2025. District materials presented the nurse resolution as a formal recognition of school nurses’ role in student health; the teacher appreciation resolution recognized the district’s 122 certificated employees and urged the community to express appreciation.

Both resolutions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the board recorded the votes as unanimous among members present. The meeting packet included the full text of both resolutions and the board scheduled implementation steps and community outreach tied to each observance.

Board members and staff used the observances to thank classified and certified staff. One board member noted the coincidence of the contract action on International Workers’ Day and the board’s opportunity to recognize the work of employees.

The agreement, presented at the board’s May 1 meeting, provides a 5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in year one and a 4% COLA in year two. Year two also includes a $50 increase in insurance contribution, bringing total employee contribution to $1,712 in year two, according to the district’s summary of the agreement.

Board members and negotiators said both sides described the bargaining process as collegial. The district described the talks as three meetings that produced mutual concessions and language clarifications. Negotiators highlighted new and increased stipends intended to address hard-to-fill roles: a $15,000 stipend for the school psychologist; $5,000 for resource and life-skills special education positions (for fully licensed staff); $3,000 stipends for school nurses and for school counselors; and expanded coaching stipends to include emerging sports and Oregon Battle of the Books.

The contract also establishes annual recognition stipends for advanced credentials. Educators who hold National Board Certification will receive a $1,500 annual stipend; a parallel $1,500 annual stipend was added for teachers who hold a teacher-leader license from the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC).

The agreement includes a negotiated pathway allowing CTE teachers to advance on pay columns to better reflect industry experience, and some housekeeping language updates (for example changing trimester/semester wording). The district described the measures as intended to improve recruitment and retention and to recognize difficult-to-fill specialties.

Board members called the agreement fair and noted strong support from certificated staff: the district reported that 98.4% of certified staff who responded to the association’s ratification survey voted in favor.

A roll-call vote was taken; the motion passed. The board’s vote tally was recorded as unanimous among members present.

The board and association negotiators named as participants in bargaining included Eva Vargas, Zach Carney, Jennifer Hample, Nico Friedman and Jenna Dixon for the association; district participants listed included Vince Wierdy, Michelle Cook and Laurie Sullivan. Board members who participated in the recorded vote included Carol Yardley and Jim Jordan.","The North Bend School District Board approved a collective bargaining agreement with the North Bend Education Association covering July 1, 2025–June 30, 2027, that includes a 5% cost-of-living adjustment the first year and pay/stipend changes intended to retain hard-to-fill positions.","actionData","errors"]
