Student Deacon English told the board students had been involved in the policy process and urged the district to craft rules that \"equip students with the skills and abilities to thrive in any setting, whether that be college or the workforce.\" English said restrictive measures should be evaluated for whether they help students succeed outside school.

Superintendent Michael Lopez and staff described a two-tier approach the district plans to implement: stricter routines at the middle schools, where students would leave phones in homeroom for the day (kept in a box rather than a commercial lockbox system); and a high-school approach that allows phones during passing time and lunch but requires devices to be stored during class (classroom pocket charts or pouches would hold visible phones while instruction proceeds). Staff said accommodations will be preserved for students who require phones for assistive technology or 504 plans.

District staff emphasized training and routines for teachers, students and families, saying consistent adult response and clear communication are critical to success. Speakers acknowledged enforcement will require staff time and consistent expectations across classrooms; staff recommended a monitoring period during the first semester and student feedback to guide adjustments.

Several students and educators said expectations must align with grading and accountability systems at the high school level, noting that college and workplace environments do not use phone \"pouches,\" so classroom practices should focus on building students'self-regulation. Staff said middle-school restrictions stem from the younger students'developmental stage and the structural differences in schedules and locker availability.

The board did not adopt a final policy at the meeting; the packet presented an administrative rule draft and staff indicated they will return to the board with a formal policy for adoption after additional feedback and planned implementation steps.

The budget the board adopted totals $89,649,953 and reflects adjustments created primarily by a 1.68 percentage-point increase in the public employees' pension rate driven by state action (referred to in the meeting as Senate Bill 849). District staff reported the rate change freed up $443,647 in the latest budget calculations; the board approved moving much of that amount to restore two furlough days and a professional development day, which staff said cost $327,005.29.

Director of Finance (budget presenter) Shuri Lewis summarized changes made after the board's previous \"approved\" budget: an $84,000 amendment to debt-service appropriations tied to amortization schedules; reassignment of one social-studies teacher from a grant fund to the general fund; small adjustments across multiple grant and nutrition funds to match revenues and expenses; and corrections to staff \"academic days\" entries for several employees that increased payroll totals. The district reported a staffing level of 357.26 full-time-equivalent positions in the adopted budget.

Lewis told the board the bulk of adjustments affected funds tied to personnel; capital funds were not touched. She also said the district will replace current budget software next year to avoid recurring data-entry errors that required multiple manual corrections this cycle.

Superintendent Michael Lopez and board members discussed that the adopted budget includes roughly $12 million attributable to Portland Clean Energy Fund (referred to in the meeting packet as PSAP) and noted the levy campaign's failure earlier this year, which the superintendent and staff said required difficult cuts during the current process.

Board action came in two recorded motions. A voice vote approved the resolution adopting the 2025'26 budget; a subsequent motion to \"appropriate funds, levy taxes, and categorize funds for fiscal year 2025'26\" also passed by voice vote. No formal roll-call tallies were read into the public record during the meeting.

The board closed its budget hearing with no public comments on the proposed changes and moved on to the next agenda items.

Votes at a glance:
- Resolution approving the adopted budget for fiscal year 2025'26: approved by voice vote; no opposed voices recorded during the meeting.
- Resolution to appropriate funds, levy taxes, and categorize funds for fiscal year 2025'26: approved by voice vote; no opposed voices recorded during the meeting.

The district plans to publish the adopted budget documents and the associated schedules (Schedule A and Schedule B) in the board packet and on the district website; staff said they will continue to brief the board on implementation and on budget software migration.","The Parkrose School District board voted to adopt the 2025–26 budget and approve a companion resolution to appropriate funds and levy taxes after staff outlined adjustments tied to a state pension rate change and other corrections.",{"_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},6184178,"Parkrose reports math gains at elementary level; board given MTSS action steps",932,4422000,5354000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5092719-b6055dff8f73f56f824b7654e66f6601&start=4422&end=5354","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5092719-b6055dff8f73f56f824b7654e66f6601/thumbnail_4422000.jpg","/articles/6184178/Oregon/Parkrose-reports-math-gains-at-elementary-level-board-given-MTSS-action-steps","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184178-6f21f7d5748417841f8155d50e6b07f8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442718&Signature=Tnt8snkC-5ktH0VUiHK9EiPYKQJGE6zZoVTPdaUXDHX2-EgHLCzC1DHVTsqfu2wBMjGPK8uFibCv4gQ-9cYLS~5DjHQ6NIihOIy7QFO8p6PLeudbLX57W0PYB9a8xWYzCw8SUvP3yTxGzq6vvyfyROzfBgHcLpunqdELCmsY9bj9Kek6wXue7ttp1-CWrgX8RkNY6QEDKr9U3W8VtUYlor0aZhHJWL1ZjhQ3gm6bn3DMGe9OxM0y6tErt8qds~00EMRlm4zFUlB3fBa1sbQDc53ZRvBgg1mM4nFgVKDmkeAA2l0uod8ylzOZbwKEo3cJjJMQAmqPdON5uOVZ5B9FGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parkrose School District staff on June 9 presented district assessment results showing measurable math-growth gains at the elementary level and outlined next steps under a multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) plan.

Staff reported median growth at the elementary level improved and the district-wide rate of students \"significantly behind\" in math decreased from roughly 41% to 21% between the fall diagnostic and the most recent (May) diagnostic. Staff highlighted Russell Elementary as showing particularly large gains; administrators told the board Russell participated in targeted curriculum support, teacher observation and professional learning.

District staff described the difference between \"typical growth\" (a year's expected growth relative to peers who began at similar diagnostic scores) and \"stretch growth\" (greater-than-typical gains). The packet showed increases in both typical and stretch-growth measures compared with the prior year; staff said some students achieved two years of growth in a single year on diagnostic measures. Districtwide \"typical growth\" rates and the number of students reaching grade-level proficiency improved compared with midyear measures, though staff cautioned that fall learning loss remains a concern.

Superintendent Michael Lopez and the academic team outlined MTSS-oriented action steps the board will review in more detail at an upcoming retreat: clarifying universal instructional practices, aligning schedules to keep students included in core instruction (particularly students with IEPs and English learners), strengthening coaching and team structures, and leveraging external consultants to audit systems.

Board members asked about differences between Russell and other schools; staff said Russell leveraged targeted state support and curriculum-focused coaching and peer lesson observations. Staff also said that the district has requested student-level stretch-growth reports from the curriculum vendor to better identify classroom- and teacher-level practices associated with larger gains.

Staff said reading outcomes were stronger than math coming out of pandemic recovery, and that math remains a district priority for 2025'26. They noted summer programming and continued instructional focus aimed at reducing the number of students behind grade level.","District staff presented diagnostic assessment data showing gains in elementary math proficiency and reductions in students significantly behind grade level, and recommended system-level MTSS actions for 2025'26.","actionData","errors"]
