The Lake Oswego School District 7J Board meeting on August 25, 2025, focused on key decisions regarding administrative appeals and future discussions on cell tower agreements.

The board unanimously voted to deny an appeal related to an administrative decision, concluding that there was no legal basis for the complaint. This motion was passed swiftly, indicating a consensus among board members.

In other business, Vice Chair Bills proposed a review of the district's current agreements with cell service providers regarding the placement of towers on school property. This suggestion arose from community concerns about health and safety impacts. Bills emphasized the importance of understanding the regulations and responsibilities associated with these agreements before considering any future contracts.

Board members expressed support for this initiative, with discussions suggesting the need for an independent review of the specific locations mentioned in the complaints. The board agreed to place this topic on the agenda for their next meeting on September 8, 2025, allowing for a more comprehensive discussion and the potential for additional studies.

The meeting concluded without further items for discussion, setting the stage for the upcoming agenda focused on community health concerns and district responsibilities regarding cell tower agreements.
