District staff said a planning committee composed of parents, teachers (elementary and secondary), administrators, education assistants and other stakeholders met twice to align the district plan with state laws and rules. Staff referenced Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) and Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) as the regulatory framework directing required content. The committee reviewed scope and sequence for lessons at elementary, middle and high school levels, revised the parental opt‑out procedures and prepared FAQs and a clickable sandbox website with the draft plan, standards and opt‑out materials.

Presenters demonstrated that the opt‑out would be available as a Google form on the district site, printable for a paper submission option, and offered in multiple languages. Staff said the opt‑out is an annual process, that parents may opt out of specific lessons rather than the entire unit, and that buildings plan supervised alternative instruction (typically in a library or similar supervised space) to preserve student confidentiality and provide learning alternatives during opt‑out periods. The district also intends to encourage parent‑teacher communication as part of the process.

A motion to approve the updated comprehensive health education plan passed by voice vote. Board members asked staff to post the website and materials after the board preview and to return with implementation details where appropriate.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 18, 2025 Board Work Session","oneSentenceSummary","The Gresham‑Barlow board approved an updated comprehensive health education plan and reviewed a newly developed website, FAQs and an electronic opt‑out process available in multiple languages.","taxTitle","Gresham-Barlow SD 10J, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",13227,"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},6160064,"Gresham‑Barlow board authorizes application for nearly $1 million in federal literacy funds",88,562000,650000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5451447-2e5f1849ff759837ee8ba03ea16ea87f&start=562&end=650","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5451447-2e5f1849ff759837ee8ba03ea16ea87f/thumbnail_562000.jpg","/articles/6160064/Oregon/GreshamBarlow-board-authorizes-application-for-nearly-1-million-in-federal-literacy-funds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6160064-bf51b2d69c884da323d9d8f91c70d599/orig.mp4?Expires=1770624912&Signature=QUx6jkyvNgMcIBf7tWMgzMS4i8tXqLFBNnL1Ya7BItWw6peA7D4Uk6RbMTlQWvsOnYmWW72KTmrch6ySNcXGqBhI7H9WnpZ8iGAnoFtScZnvd5Tii6E~KeZn5GOMTG0zaXNABdxZxhon7wYMnLjuzcArAGqYr~kvbpIA4Z-l5gqjVN6xy9rwOnSr6n~5hQnf-MTAtfYAZTIEtflwcNxfH3Z9pIjbeuM60h5exVSNQ~0A3Jz0i3kZlFc8awSgaDLSRNBcxwCTaN7nHRb1djKhusw2mI745h76RipV0m8jPb0CE8nAmz8A-XtJQfYV544auNQHelfOUlEk2bviTq-ZXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Gresham‑Barlow School Board voted June 18 to authorize district administration to submit a competitive application for the Oregon Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant.

A district presenter told the board the federal grant totals about $57.9 million for Oregon over five years; Gresham‑Barlow is eligible to apply for up to $979,052 of the state allotment. The grant targets literacy from birth through grade 12, prioritizing disadvantaged students including students in poverty, English-language learners and students with disabilities. The speaker said districts must apply through the Oregon Department of Education portal and that applications were due by June 30; the district expected to be informed by August whether it received a subgrant.

The presenter described permitted uses that include professional development, high‑dosage tutoring and extended learning, adoption of evidence‑based literacy curricula, hiring literacy coaches and specialists, and development of local literacy plans. The funding must be distributed across grade bands as required by the grant: 16% for birth–kindergarten, 42% for grades K–5 and 42% for grades 6–12. The presenter said Gresham‑Barlow ranked 13th on the state's need list, which is one factor in eligibility, and that staff had rapidly gathered input from teachers, administrators and literacy coaches to prepare the application.

Board member Chris Howitt moved to authorize submission of the application; Holly Regalman seconded. Directors voted aye and the motion passed. Staff said the grant would supplement existing early literacy and middle‑grades supports and that more detailed plans and updates would be brought to the board if the district is awarded funds.","The board authorized staff to submit a competitive application for the Oregon Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant; the district is eligible to seek up to $979,052 of the state allotment to support birth–grade 12 literacy programs.",{"_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},6160069,"Board approves multi‑year cybersecurity services agreement amid district pilot",122,376000,498000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5451447-2e5f1849ff759837ee8ba03ea16ea87f&start=376&end=498","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5451447-2e5f1849ff759837ee8ba03ea16ea87f/thumbnail_376000.jpg","/articles/6160069/Oregon/Board-approves-multiyear-cybersecurity-services-agreement-amid-district-pilot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6160069-d99303412bf59fef293eb56b1b303c8e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770624912&Signature=YzH1iP5kwIZAeJIX9JlTNoaScmbAitSXR18mWc34Svw4aZVoKxjmqGMSHy6zgCCHStst8KssnUcOqX79YvUHV9vWUmbQ5DztJf9qNyWOdzlo93LTS5JHv5kQx5SluCo3CTZSwhrPZ~cYvAMwzMBEWiOmC~gHjyi-tGqQ34Fz~yMWj6~hegb5I9nCWIudtDgZx-Te~ZmKjbtffqCMZv6qhE4URGFJNTX99rZNss7Opdj1kuGFqrxBbJyNwahkfRUSwooR0o0yyWYgc3jP63-1I3FEaltZY8-q-11J8utI5Febafrd9v7iSYMaYxPkkqmMzVWzjkQod-Y20ntcNlLzWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Gresham-Barlow School Board on June 18 approved a purchase of cybersecurity software and services from Technicon to be paid over three years.

IT presenter Jeff Gibbs told the board the district was accepted into a cybersecurity pilot administered through the SCC and that the pilot provides substantially discounted services. Gibbs described the product as advanced endpoint monitoring and response — “kind of a souped‑up antivirus” — that monitors systems for activity such as file encryption or data exfiltration and is monitored 24/7 by cybersecurity experts. He said the pilot’s total value could be up to $403,000 over three years and characterized the district’s cost as a discounted share.

Board member Holly Regalman moved to approve the purchase from Technicon; Blake Peterson seconded. On the motion the chair recited the cost in the meeting record as $173,542.40 over three years. Directors voted aye and recorded the action as unanimous. Board members directed staff to provide updates as implementation proceeds.

Staff said the system will begin phased deployment and that IT will report back to the board on progress. The board did not amend the purchase amount on the floor; the motion, as recorded in the minutes, sets the approved district expenditure.","The Gresham-Barlow School Board approved a multi‑year purchase of cybersecurity software and services from Technicon; staff said the district entered a pilot that brings significant discounted services and 24/7 monitoring.",{"_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},6160074,"Board approves licensed and administrator hires, promotes executive director of teaching and learning",96,269000,365000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5451447-2e5f1849ff759837ee8ba03ea16ea87f&start=269&end=365","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5451447-2e5f1849ff759837ee8ba03ea16ea87f/thumbnail_269000.jpg","/articles/6160074/Oregon/Board-approves-licensed-and-administrator-hires-promotes-executive-director-of-teaching-and-learning","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6160074-aeccd95989ea376695037178e6410823/orig.mp4?Expires=1770624912&Signature=oquo7MUEmGFJG~kxUTYoWhtkCZTmE4DATMHrE5F021s8QuCN6ptoL3KpS3VfLuYiPTrzC0LjPpQxz-zG5WWsxblZPjeIMUT9JGvQhhDp4jy-nsFUF76pHYjNm57tHDQ~UUC1vNfH-Um0MIzuf6lLm8umvBqQKHSWpt-l6ByouXpvDPq~IfwOYlMDXb9tViVQ6WtnNKo8h3OIKZS1NpIFPePP3yNDsjGB4XAywXeS4ACpqgffeD5SorQc3iuBthiVyyk3RqPLfO-9r-3wOg0DcN9Sun1B3vYW~uvM9LpX5KS5fqM92bjSEbsVWm3c3UZ4PSXh9O0KDRWgxLewUdoMjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Gresham-Barlow School Board approved a slate of recommended licensed staff and administrator hires for the 2025–26 school year at its June 18 meeting.
