The business officer reported the district was down 19 students since the last board report and down 56 students compared with the prior year — roughly a 2% decline. The largest enrollment shifts included AYA (from 68 to 40), Madison (from 293 to 277) and Sunset (from 364 to 344). The junior high was reported at 397 compared with 422 the prior year.

The district's long-range enrollment model projects a 1–2% annual decrease tied primarily to lower birth rates and demographic trends; the business office said this trajectory is consistent with the district’s budget modeling. The draft budget used average daily funding figures and anticipated a decrease of 77 ADM for the next year, which staff estimated as roughly $800,000 in revenue reduction compared with the prior budget baseline.

The business office also noted the district’s auditors were on site and that the district would continue its contract with Ally Financial for another year of auditing services. No adverse audit findings were reported during the meeting.

Board members discussed how demographic trends and programmatic strengths might influence future enrollment and noted district efforts to attract families through strong programs and performance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 9th, 2025 Regular Board Meeting/ Budget Hearing","oneSentenceSummary","The district reported enrollment down about 56 students from last year and forecasted a longer-term decline consistent with demographic trends; auditors were on-site and the district expects audits to conclude normally.","taxTitle","Coos Bay SD 9, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",61195,"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},6532573,"Marshall High’s AVID program grows; board hears data on student participation and outcomes",570,1769000,2339000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5024326-b77826b5e16e8fad8ba879c7c1f2e989&start=1769&end=2339","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5024326-b77826b5e16e8fad8ba879c7c1f2e989/thumbnail_1769000.jpg","/articles/6532573/Oregon/Marshall-Highs-AVID-program-grows-board-hears-data-on-student-participation-and-outcomes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6532573-ae1f2ac5684b210ffb2e999256efb232/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440651&Signature=HCRVBPgRdBBo5Aa7QXzn8EP9HkfkfHJtl~r9iRZuzyrfJNyt0wf0xubr-rnwCuf3m5rm7x~3vCRVYBzn2ptHp4XD2fEfz2ufZpEDH0kdZRsWXoQEvMcaFyQdF7j6482263TnZycVvhznbAX6vrrvsEJieLZ3QDUjqs2dSjpb1pH3UdN~kwdHZieCeqvNijNnEV0NkzyceTr5q5ql7iRCrLvPxf9eLN5WHNSp~qkDtRzHSjvKeAO-lPb5NJMGgfHU46md3vNJKGPMonELoZPv8Odbuh-Jqb6NfWvSTeGV0QhG-rKpKxCK5mopS1DI2n0K9GDa1UimwagVnYmVbl3RgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Marshall High School principal Eli Ashton and AVID staff presented the board with a summary of the AVID program’s recent growth and student outcomes.

Ashton described AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) as a program that supports organization, study skills, tutorials and college/career exploration. He said the program began implementation in 2017, reset after COVID and this year is effectively Year 4 of the current implementation cycle.

Key figures cited during the presentation included:
- 64 students currently enrolled in the AVID elective with plans to expand to 96 next year (moving from three sections to five at the high school), and two sections at the junior high.
- Freshman AVID class (26 students): average GPA 3.14; only three students had any F’s; overall F-rate for the class 3.75%.
- 27% of AVID students participate in non-sport extracurriculars; 46% are enrolled in at least one CTE class; 46% were in advanced coursework in their freshman year.
- Improved passage and proficiency metrics districtwide tied to focused instruction and initiatives such as AVID, science-of-reading and MTSS.

Students and senior tutors described AVID’s tutorial structure: weekly binder/grid checks, tutorial request forms (TRFs) and small-group whiteboard sessions where students present their problem-solving steps and receive guided help. Tutors said the program also built mentor relationships and encouraged students who were initially disengaged.

Ashton and staff emphasized the alignment of AVID’s mission with the district’s goals that students graduate “enrolled, employed or enlisted.” The board thanked staff and student tutors for the presentation and noted the program’s contribution to reducing opportunity gaps.

No board action was requested; the presentation was informational and will be part of the district’s summer work-session data reviews.","Marshall High School’s AVID elective and site team presented program progress to the board, reporting growth in enrollment, extracurricular participation, AP/dual-enrollment activity and freshman pass rates.",{"_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},6532578,"Parents raise safety and background‑check concerns; volunteers ask board for assurances",142,899000,1041000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5024326-b77826b5e16e8fad8ba879c7c1f2e989&start=899&end=1041","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5024326-b77826b5e16e8fad8ba879c7c1f2e989/thumbnail_899000.jpg","/articles/6532578/Oregon/Parents-raise-safety-and-backgroundcheck-concerns-volunteers-ask-board-for-assurances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6532578-b19627bcc6acfdc797238d3bf77a016c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440651&Signature=jxZ3NOxF4EqZ602RHR627QBmQ1~2eED6xWgQt7QqO-W~H2qIPx1gQk4E7U4EWeu2tAjMEvXBMNQKbTjyefqnJW3QwJ1D8Le~Fy4LrXfg5tEpTz6jwxpo1Tt9kF1104UTflzToIJxkadpFOc5u1AXG1avj-z-5teBtumhiDIWUF1ZeXF4uhNCzHZoRN1j9Z7KO1lrq0YlqV5vjxlPvJQluq1C4H6uyaJ7P9Cy3CFChF~MmzIQnqDmSEfRMFhOizDe9LqoOY-f23NdtDiyWXpWRgr~UyQTxOv24-0TXiRHgg8vkSZEcWNmT2F4EmChDUWIiaLaTzJEuFze10Cgi6CZOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the public input portion of the meeting two commenters asked the board for clarity about volunteer screening and measures to prevent people with criminal histories from being allowed near students.

\"I have a child in the school district who will be going to kindergarten next year… I need to know that my child is going to be safe in this school district,\" Megan Vanderland said, referencing reports she has seen in local outlets and social media about alleged predators in community locations. She said some incidents are under legal review and that she could not discuss details but pressed the board for steps to ensure student safety.

Tony Portore, who volunteers at Madison School and said he had to complete a background check, asked how an individual with multiple sets of charges was allowed near students. \"I had to go through a background check… it doesn't make any sense to me how he was allowed to be around our children,\" Portore said. He told the board the person he referenced had multiple charges across several years and said he was concerned that existing safeguards failed.

Board members thanked the speakers for raising concerns and noted that specific personnel or criminal cases could not be discussed publicly during the meeting. The chair directed commenters toward the appropriate channels for formal complaints and said staff would follow policy for any personnel or safety investigations. No board action or policy change was made at the meeting; staff will handle any necessary follow-up within existing procedures.","Two public commenters told the Coos Bay board they are worried about individuals with criminal charges having access to students and asked how the district will prevent future incidents.",{"_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},6532583,"Parents and students urge board to reinstate high school library clerk position",171,195000,366000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5024326-b77826b5e16e8fad8ba879c7c1f2e989&start=195&end=366","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5024326-b77826b5e16e8fad8ba879c7c1f2e989/thumbnail_195000.jpg","/articles/6532583/Oregon/Parents-and-students-urge-board-to-reinstate-high-school-library-clerk-position","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6532583-16af4aade1d0ec83ca93dff36a2fe81e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440651&Signature=WBgKc5bydiGXVGlU1BrR5ly4PsEG5fvbHkqJr-W8-cBW77FNtnRyAQt0okZbjJXNN368Yc8Hen3uFNJnv5XKliBOuVhmT2ktxQ0X18ZdUx2T3G99XCwnphXKALbmfSLUKMwtwzMz7nWSyiuCdx0qms08tufWYSUAwL-3UbizkIDpD5kUPRFdGm8yQQAhVU5hSZsa5Wgv1uWVCzGC6HdUU-t0g5EjNiw7jFeDfM9DAUYeSHR9GewY6P6sa1Jw1W6n24OqWqq~Hf1zkyyHnLtJOsB2vhRAzY7YuhD4~JkSzbF0HLzEQfYmjHkXNRR-1Nxxq5lUjvu3lQ4XRjEjKU7TbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parents and students addressed the board during public comment to request reinstatement of a high school library clerk assistant position that was recently cut.

\"Without Gracie Jensen's help, Catherine Hampton, the Marshfield librarian, would not have the temporal flexibility to teach the junior high's OBOB class and assist with the OBOB teams at both Millicombe and Sunset schools,\" Andrea Coleman told the board, reading testimony and remarks from several junior-high students.

Coleman introduced comments from students including Kendall Coleman, Weston Gibbons and others who described Hampton as a key educator and coach. \"She is always encouraging and helpful… Losing her would be like losing the soul of OBOB,\" one excerpt read.

Coleman said her daughter competed at the regional Oregon Battle of the Books and that the librarian and clerk combined to provide essential support for students and team activities. The parent asked the board to \"please don't relocate Miss Jensen because Mrs. Hampton is OBOB's GOAT,\" a remark read aloud that the speaker attributed to a student.

Board members acknowledged the public comment portion of the meeting but did not take immediate formal action on the staffing issue during the session.

The board approved Resolution No. 2025-03, adopting a total budget of $77,524,363.36 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025. The adopted budget lists $43,945,335.36 for the general fund, $16,264,190 for special revenue, $4,719,425 for debt service and $1,970,000 for capital projects.

A staff presenter summarized the district’s revenue and expenditure picture, noting state revenues were roughly flat while staffing costs rose; the district balanced the budget in part with a $1 million transfer to capital projects while preserving athletic and trip reserves. \"Our state revenues are up by about 1.2% from the general fund,\" a staff presenter told the board, adding staffing costs were up roughly 10 percent.

Board members moved and seconded the budget resolution; the chair called for and received ayes and no recorded opposition, and the motion passed. (Vote recorded in the meeting as voice approval; no roll-call tally with names was provided in the transcript.)

The board also approved an action to permit district students to travel to the SkillsUSA national competition in Atlanta after a staff or coach request. The motion to grant permission passed by voice vote.

In curriculum business the board adopted new instructional materials listed in the packet, including AP course resources and several science and health texts. A district curriculum staff member explained that a biology text on the Oregon adoption list would be updated next year and that the district plans to adopt the newer edition to match its other science materials. The board voted to approve the listed adoptions.

Finally, the business office presented Resolution No. 2025-04 to reauthorize transfers of appropriations within funds to cover projected variances. The staff recommended moving $1,000,000 from contingency into instruction/support (general fund) and reallocating $1,250,000 from facility acquisition to support services (special revenue fund) to align budgets with actual expenditures and grant carryovers. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote.
