District staff described the request to postpone health-adoption work as a common step for large instructional adoptions, explaining that other major adoptions (ELA, math) required multi-year implementation and that the district has until fall 2027 to implement a health curriculum. The board approved a motion to postpone the K–12 health curriculum for one year by voice vote, recorded 7–0.

On science curriculum, the board accepted staff recommendations after a multi-year adoption process. For grades K–5 the board adopted Twig (Imagine Learning/Twig); for grades 6–8 the board adopted Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) Into Science; and for grades 9–12 the board readopted the district’s current high-school science program (referred to in meeting materials as Patterns) with updates to classroom materials. Board members said the middle-school team selected HMH Into Science because they judged its grade-appropriate rigor and ease of implementation for teachers who are new to middle-school science.

A motion to adopt the listed science curricula was moved and seconded on the record and passed by voice vote. The board also discussed alignment of dual-credit materials at the high school and plans to purchase updated resources where needed.

Details of the actions:
- Postpone adoption of K–12 health curriculum: approved 7–0. District staff said the district has until fall 2027 to adopt and implement health materials.
- Adopt Twig (Imagine Learning) for grades K–5: approved (vote recorded at adoption motion).
- Adopt Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Into Science for grades 6–8: approved; staff said the program’s rigor and integrated approach were deciding factors.
- Readopt the high school Patterns science curriculum for grades 9–12, with updated materials to align with dual-credit offerings: approved.

Board members thanked staff and teachers who participated in the multi-year review. The district will move forward with purchasing materials and implementation planning and will phase in the adopted science programs as described by curriculum staff.","The North Bend SD 13 board unanimously voted to postpone adoption of a K–12 health curriculum by one year and approved new science materials for K–5 and 6–8 while reauthorizing the high school science curriculum.",{"_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},6515764,"Parents, students and teachers urge board to preserve early-grade music instruction",920,720000,1640000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3846757-7e9e149319afaea08e1cfe743fc43bc7&start=720&end=1640","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3846757-7e9e149319afaea08e1cfe743fc43bc7/thumbnail_720000.jpg","/articles/6515764/Oregon/Parents-students-and-teachers-urge-board-to-preserve-early-grade-music-instruction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515764-127e4db100fd26abd72a7ea7ecd49b59/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159943&Signature=CjnwGVHkNEj4qpoSHDeIT6XBnnJ4L3aoVD5P-GSHjQhQx5nTNNSsxCyGJLGnoxzIbaag1FXx-0H-rnDuf8nSmn329FUa4np0ij6MavA8JvR4Y5~CEOr8fQ7w5EWx9v~cylfFoS5MghDj8FjJ1kAyWzTijwLlx63skyJGbGiiHQGCCovXzefy4rl5WvER24CwHVtn8pXJWOk6zpDABHmSQQa8UijM3FFuGKpBfaFjp2DQa-1bA~3EAyddzBpq5jB8q-KNtrCFlUoWx55P2EbFkrJKShcmnlv6EZVxB15-NQkNEwO9pg0MKlKLmY9feOxKNgVojOA7CwNTucafgSrptg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","North Bend, Ore. — Dozens of parents, students and teachers urged the North Bend School District 13 Board of Directors on June 5 to preserve music instruction at the elementary level and reconsider budget choices that commenters said would diminish the district’s longstanding music program.

Public participation occupied a large portion of the meeting. Speakers included current and former students, parents, classroom teachers and music staff. Many cited the district’s recent competitive success: several speakers noted the high school band had won a state title this year and others referenced multiple state championships over recent years.

“Music has changed my life for the better,” said Taylor Thompson, introduced at the meeting as a North Bend High School senior and student representative. Multiple speakers described the district’s music program as a key reason families move into or remain in North Bend and urged the board not to “cut K through 2” music instruction, language several commenters used when describing proposed staffing changes.

A joint written statement from music instructors Amber Yester, Janet Lee and Sarah Massey and from Eva Varga, president of the North Bend Education Association, was submitted and summarized during the meeting. The statement said the district and association “recognize the vital role music plays in the development, well-being, and academic success of our students” and that staff had developed a revised plan “that preserves our core music offerings, particularly in grades 4–12.” The full written statement was not read aloud in its entirety.

Speakers included current and former music students and parents who testified to the program’s role in academic pathways, mental health and community identity. Joanna Gosling described three daughters who benefited from North Bend music classes, including dual-credit music courses that her eldest used toward a college degree. Bristol Underwood, a high school science teacher who addressed the board, described the district’s alternative education program and spoke in support of maintaining programs that keep students engaged.

Several commenters urged the board to revisit administrative salaries or other non-classroom expenditures rather than reducing classroom staff. One speaker, Melissa Pekton, asked the board not to ratify the proposed budget at that meeting and to “go back to the drawing board.” Many speakers asked the board to preserve the K–2 foundation that they said underpins later success in middle and high school ensembles.

The board thanked speakers for attending and listening was noted repeatedly by the chair and superintendent. The meeting did not include a formal board vote specifically on music staffing; the budget adoption later in the agenda established the district’s overall legal spending authority for the fiscal year.","Dozens of community members spoke during public comment asking the North Bend SD 13 board to protect elementary music positions and reconsider budget cuts; speakers cited the district’s multi-year state band championships and student wellbeing.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":42,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6515769,"North Bend SD 13 board adopts budget, approves property tax rate after public comment",3009000,3065000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3846757-7e9e149319afaea08e1cfe743fc43bc7&start=3009&end=3065","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3846757-7e9e149319afaea08e1cfe743fc43bc7/thumbnail_3009000.jpg","/articles/6515769/Oregon/North-Bend-SD-13-board-adopts-budget-approves-property-tax-rate-after-public-comment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515769-dcc199d4b31f393a3de4d44ddd5ba4c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159943&Signature=jWhQHWSIc4YFJrGrMsVPBFI3tO1ZRyQB94aB7INHh5zgsUk~wKSSZ2oiPkBnp323IOjy79wRYrwFhMIf3MZoNFWJRmbu45qajdhoeGctVVzEbWXMBIEp04V8ZNCkqL-2cVsK0BhY5opOILB91kad1QyUV8LNpo90CUyusyi9ppaEbtoW9DuxU29tMWvi93dYD1AYbvgYQAo1M5Eh7vsq3cG85w5SHMOAV7ab180-WideYdY01rS4IiY17du0U8HdThyMbGQo~mHOXepig5DiK5tckdZeBYscvvccJk6e~cPeJiAV0viaRCx8BbvwlQB30gHrU7-0ctEeWuE4MwZH9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","North Bend, Ore. — The North Bend School District 13 Board of Directors voted on June 5 to adopt a fiscal-year budget for 2025–26 and to impose property taxes for the coming year after a public hearing that featured extensive community comment about the district’s music program.

The board approved a motion to adopt the budget (motion language read at the meeting) by a 5–2 vote. The board later approved a tax resolution setting the permanent tax rate for the general fund at $4.1626 per $1,000 of assessed value; that tax measure passed in a roll-call vote, 7–0.

The budget adoption motion was presented and read during the meeting as a resolution; however, the dollar total read aloud by district staff appeared inconsistently in the transcript (both $68,362,056 and $68,632,056 were read in different places). The board adopted the budget as read at the meeting and the district clerk noted the budget is on file at 1913 Mead Street in North Bend.

Board discussion on the resolution was brief; a motion to adopt was made and seconded on the record and the board took the vote after public comment. The tax resolution to impose and categorize taxes was read, moved and seconded, and carried unanimously in a roll-call vote that started with board member Dallas and recorded yes votes from attending members.

Public comment earlier in the meeting focused heavily on proposed staffing and program changes in the music department. Multiple parents, teachers and students urged the board not to ratify budget actions that commenters said would reduce or eliminate music instruction at the kindergarten–second grade level; those speakers asked the board to consider other budget reductions before cutting classroom staff. The board did not vote on specific music staffing at this meeting; the budget adoption provides the district’s legal spending authority for the fiscal year.

Votes at the meeting relating to finance:
- Budget adoption (resolution read at the meeting): outcome — approved, vote 5–2. The specific dollar amount read aloud in the meeting transcript was inconsistent (see above). The adopted budget was recorded as on file at the district office.
- Tax resolution (impose and categorize taxes for tax year 2025–26; general fund permanent rate): outcome — approved, vote 7–0. Rate read at the meeting: $4.1626 per $1,000.

The board clerk confirmed the adopted budget and tax documents will be retained in district records. The superintendent and board members thanked community members for attending and speaking during public participation.","The North Bend School District 13 board adopted its fiscal-year budget for 2025–26 and approved a property tax rate after a night of public comment focused on the district’s music program.
