Field lighting: The board unanimously approved a contract with Musco Field Lighting Inc. under a KCDA cooperative purchasing agreement for the Tualatin Middle School field‑lighting project in an amount not to exceed $345,440. District presenters said the field’s electrical bases and related infrastructure were installed during an earlier project and the Musco proposal included a credit reflecting those preinstalled bases. City of Tigard land‑use approval for the lighting was obtained earlier in the bond process. District staff told the board the lighting fixtures are directional and designed to meet the city’s requirement of one foot‑candle or less at the property line; the district said it will hold an optional neighborhood meeting prior to installation despite not being required to do so by land‑use approval.

Land‑use consultant: The board unanimously awarded a land‑use consulting contract to Stantec for $167,267 for work on upcoming bond projects. District staff said Stantec has prior experience handling land‑use work for the district, including projects from the 2016 bond, and the firm submitted the lowest of three proposals received.

Nutrition services pizza contract: The board approved Pizza Hut as the district’s contracted pizza vendor for the 2025‑26 school year in an amount not to exceed $228,000. Nutrition services staff said the district will start the program at secondary schools with freshly delivered Pizza Hut pizzas that meet USDA school‑meal requirements (Pizza Hut adapts product and crust specifications to meet school nutrition rules). Staff said the vendor’s product is delivered fresh rather than reheated frozen pizza, and that the change will reduce kitchen labor and may improve participation; staff estimated total annual spending at roughly $228,000 for secondary schools if participation holds.

OSBA nominations: The board also voted to submit nominations to the Oregon School Boards Association. The board recommended Vice Chair Tristan Irvin for Position 16 on the OSBA Board of Directors; that motion carried 4‑0 with one abstention. The board likewise nominated Director Crystal Weston for Position 20 on OSBA’s Legislative Policy Committee; that motion carried 4‑0 with one abstention.

Other procedural votes: The board approved its meeting agenda and consent agenda earlier in the meeting; both motions carried unanimously.

Ending: District staff said they will schedule a neighborhood meeting about the Tualatin Middle School lights and proceed with contract finalization and project scheduling for the awarded contracts.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","09/08/2025 Regular Meeting of the TTSD School Board","oneSentenceSummary","The board unanimously approved a $345,440 field‑lighting contract for Tualatin Middle School, awarded a $167,267 land‑use contract to Stantec, approved a Pizza Hut nutrition services contract up to $228,000, and nominated board members to Oregon School Board Association positions.","taxTitle","Tigard-Tualatin SD 23J, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",14583,"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},6475596,"Tigard‑Tualatin reports largely smooth start; superintendent unveils goals targeting multilingual learners and fiscal stewardship",1703,1248000,2951000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5732307-46b2c9d3fe6958f70e1def7c31c99991&start=1248&end=2951","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5732307-46b2c9d3fe6958f70e1def7c31c99991/thumbnail_1248000.jpg","/articles/6475596/Oregon/TigardTualatin-reports-largely-smooth-start-superintendent-unveils-goals-targeting-multilingual-learners-and-fiscal-stewardship","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475596-4051daf7810f49a36ef9b5fe1310f371/orig.mp4?Expires=1770953579&Signature=PtighXVIWCcytyrRSMb8TcZGcZe5vtW-4tsMS2Un18bljAtThGFUdddabkngaAPmt8JiC-vm4W9Kddtn2XiftPSRWDfy3DQ-Oq7hL8xKy0tZ2chms54zzIC~1ADH2wfcLGsgKGgDidGCWuGYUgU~GwxZK-FpvFFREVP3gawWA0poujlAiH74La9T4LYi~E~HRuVmBrH4~-IW4UVFE7ZvSBgNyJKIVw3-o2Giq0yLlzOjLllNZMZE4jrav0mNrxEErVUSZLeOyVxz4bR49vO9OQwyc6IGDQP9j9uuVAIXbyIe9FHmhgSFolZ1njNt222UW4Ky~RtrrpVKYR3w3rGjEw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tigard‑Tualatin School District leaders reported to the board on Monday that the new school year opened largely smoothly, with administrators, teachers and custodial staff credited for readiness while the district continues to monitor bus punctuality and some localized class‑size pressures.

Superintendent remarks and an assistant superintendent report highlighted enrollment figures, attendance of staff at opening‑of‑year events, and steps the district is taking to address staffing and transportation challenges. The superintendent also presented three formal goals for the year: targeted academic supports for multilingual learners of English (MLEs), financial stability and stewardship, and continued community relationship building.

Assistant Superintendent Dr. Lisa McCall led a summary of first‑week visits across schools, noting kindergarten welcome events, “morning meetings” and student leadership efforts to help sixth‑ and ninth‑grade transitions. McCall said custodial staff prepared facilities over the summer and that teachers began using diagnostic screening tools and early‑literacy assessments in elementary schools.

Superintendent (identified in the meeting as Dr. Udo) told the board the district welcomed roughly 10,900 students last week — about 300 fewer than a year earlier based on the district’s Average Daily Membership report — and that the district will watch the 10‑day enrollment drop date before making staffing reassignments. The superintendent said some schools are experiencing significant changes: one school that was near 120 students last year now enrolls about 380, and two smaller middle schools exceed 800 students.

Transportation remained a focus. The superintendent said some buses still ran late and the district is working with transportation providers and Director Gomez to reduce delays, emphasizing that the district does not want students waiting long at stops or missing instruction.

As for the superintendent’s goals, the presentation listed action items under each goal. For multilingual learners, the district plans a systemwide MLE strategy with clearer goals, data and monitoring, differentiated supports by student needs (newcomers through students approaching exit from services), and expanded professional development for staff. The district also described a multi‑year MLE plan in development and an updated continuum of services.

On financial stewardship, the superintendent described work to create a multiyear fiscal plan, tighten budget monitoring and continue use of the district’s “academic return on investment” (AROI) process to assess program cost versus outcomes. The board discussed aligning board goals with superintendent goals and a midyear progress check. Board members asked for and supported a midyear review to track progress and allow course correction.

Student representatives from Tigard and Tualatin high schools also reported back on extracurricular calendars, sports schedules and the early response to a tightened cell‑phone policy at high schools. Student leaders and several board members described the phone policy rollout as largely positive; one student reported about 73 confiscations in the first week of enforcement at one school, and other speakers said students and staff perceived improved social connection at lunch.

Ending: The board received the reports as informational. The superintendent and assistant superintendent said they will provide updates on goals and monitoring data in coming months.","District leaders described a mostly smooth first week of school, noted enrollment shifts and bus delays, and presented superintendent goals emphasizing support for multilingual learners, financial stability and community relationships.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6475603,"Tigard‑Tualatin board recognizes volunteers and businesses for annual school supply drive",0,2812000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5732307-46b2c9d3fe6958f70e1def7c31c99991&start=2812&end=2812","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5732307-46b2c9d3fe6958f70e1def7c31c99991/thumbnail_2812000.jpg","/articles/6475603/Oregon/TigardTualatin-board-recognizes-volunteers-and-businesses-for-annual-school-supply-drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475603-da13c77d480587dfeba6a070cc1221b2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770953579&Signature=HQAvr3NSEjnJM-l1y~aqsy9YBE58QAEMBxNqiJmslh-5Nu~c7ObQ6ftyxDMs~KRa093fkVoSzYYvgyO2Ebak3OaAz08lLja7HRNqkjrPOV4a6nOwr8Y5cscRC1ErAbIRfxKrggs-5iZNnXMvAD-VpHsKf4kNbrLttWhdbwL-s2SG26mYAabO2TFwIGwT4tMwtCce-to6n2T0uRssj0AyjDXyI1RKoThMud9tDSHWpTAYeQ1cNGSaVcWu-L3QZrEDgl82Rm0p4Z3sQO3A1MPqT05WfH~uHoBpuHJaK4AXmf3L7Z-V0cs31CiN8ErcIMyBCZ7a6FnYcw2WlXIZi8twOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tigard‑Tualatin School District Board of Directors on Monday recognized community volunteers and local businesses for their contributions to the district’s annual school supply program, which distributes backpacks and classroom materials to students ahead of the new school year.

District staff and board members named a number of regular partners and praised one longtime volunteer who continues to coordinate donations after retiring from the district.

At the meeting, staff highlighted RISE Church, the Golden State Foods Foundation, KGW, SawStop, Lightspeed Technologies, Pilot Property Management and NVIDIA among contributors who collected and donated backpacks, classroom supplies and hygiene items. Board members and staff said some donors focus on middle- and high‑school needs — including calculators and other higher‑cost items — while others provide bulk consumables such as disinfecting wipes and Kleenex that classrooms frequently require.

The district’s presentation singled out a retired staff member who continues to manage the program as a volunteer, thanking her for coordinating collection, sorting and distribution. Representatives from RISE Church — identified in the meeting as Joanne Shipley and Jill Hibbs — were invited to the dais and briefly addressed the board.

Board members described the program as an important way to ensure students arrive on the first day with necessary materials and to reduce visible disparities among students. Several directors also praised warehouse staff who receive and sort donated pallets and district employees who deliver supplies to schools.

Staff said the KGW partnership includes both in‑studio collection drives and a monetary component; the district expects additional pallets of supplies later in the fall once KGW allocates donated funds and purchases items. Presenters said some corporate donors provide entire pallets of kits, while others respond to targeted requests (for example, markers or specific classroom supplies) sent to business contacts.

The district did not provide a total dollar value for the donations during the recognition presentation. Board members and staff emphasized gratitude for “boots on the ground” volunteers and the range of community partners that support the district’s schools.

Ending: Board members and staff closed the recognition with a group photo and additional thanks to volunteers and warehouse staff who manage collection and distribution.","Board members thanked volunteers and community partners — including RISE Church, KGW and local businesses — for donations of backpacks, classroom supplies and other materials for students across the district.","actionData","errors"]
