Staff summary and OSPI alignment
Gail (staff member) told the board that the district’s nondiscrimination policy had been revised in consultation with legal counsel and other staff to align with the Washington Association of School District Administrators (WASDA) model and OSPI guidance, following changes prompted by a prior OCR complaint. \"Page 3. This is something that was worked through with Shawna and others, Katie Seidel, with regards to our, OCR complaint,\" she said, describing the effort to align policy language statewide.

Course adoption and instructional materials
The board discussed policy 20‑20 (course design and adoption of instructional materials). Tracy and other members noted this policy will require first and second readings and formal adoption at a future meeting; staff said it will be placed on the next regular meeting agenda for that process.

Other policies reviewed
The board reviewed or acknowledged a series of additional policies identified in the packet, including oath of office (11‑11), policy adoption manuals and administrative procedures (13‑10), ethical conduct for school directors (18‑15), transition to kindergarten (2230), and a model advertising policy (68‑15) offered by WASDA. Several of these were described by staff as carrying only minor or discretionary updates; others were marked as \"critical\" and will return for formal action.

Advertising policy (68‑15)
Board members discussed whether to adopt WASDA’s model policy on advertising on district property. Staff described 68‑15 as adaptable and recommended legal review if the board wants to tailor it. The board agreed to move the model to first reading and to circulate it to stakeholders, including booster organizations and other groups that raise funds through banners or sponsorships.

Next steps
Board members asked staff to route the course‑adoption item (20‑20) through the regular first/second reading process and to put several policies on the consent or regular agenda at the next meeting for formal consideration. The board did not take final votes on the policy items during the review session.

Ending
Staff will present recommended final language and any associated procedures at the next meeting and will circulate the advertising policy draft to boosters and other stakeholders for feedback ahead of a planned first reading.

Derek said the evaluation is compiled by local advisory groups and district staff, and that the report will feed the five‑year plan the board will be asked to approve at the next regular meeting. \"This is our annual CTE program update,\" he said. \"This is probably the favorite part of my job. I love CTE.\" He told the board the district uses the advisory feedback to rank program areas on a four‑point scale and then target lower‑scoring items for improvement.

Why it matters: CTE programs are structured around federal Carl Perkins guidance and state OSPI frameworks; the district must review and submit program frameworks and the five‑year plan for federal compliance. Derek told the board that, nationally, Carl Perkins funding was not reduced in the current federal budget negotiations, and that OSPI remains the state organizer for CTE frameworks.

Board members were given a summary spreadsheet of program review results and the district’s proposed goals. The advisory evaluation highlighted three primary areas for 2025–26: rebuilding local parental involvement in program advisories, restoring articulation/equivalency agreements with postsecondary partners, and expanding industry certification opportunities for students.

Advisory structure and parental participation
Derek described two advisory structures the district uses: local program advisories (by program area) and a regional advisory that pools industry partners from across Clark County. He said the regional approach has brought resources and opportunities — for example, a regional construction “grade 13” hiring event and student projects such as small toolboxes — but that the district wants to increase local parent participation in advisories to strengthen school‑level connections.

\"Part of our goal is to include more parents, try and cast a wide net,\" Derek said, adding that the district will send communications to recruit parents to the advisory process. He also noted strong parental involvement in CTE extracurricular organizations — DECA, SkillsUSA, FIRST Robotics, and Science Olympiad — even where classroom parental participation is lower.

Articulation agreements and equivalency credit
Derek told the board the district’s articulations with local colleges have shrunk over the last decade: \"When I first came to Camas in 2012, we had 16 articulations with Clark, and now we have 4.\" He said college‑in‑high‑school programs and shifting postsecondary approaches changed how dual credit and CTE articulations operate. The district will pursue rebuilding articulations with Clark College and maintain relationships with partners such as Perry Technical Institute and Cascadia, which offer deeper industry certification programs.

Industry certifications and costs
The presentation described current certification activity (first aid/CPR, BLS, food handler cards) and identified higher‑cost certifications as a barrier. Derek said some technical certifications (for example, CAD testing) can range from about $1,200 to $1,600 per student, which the district does not currently cover. The planned goals include expanding access to lower‑cost, industry‑recognized certificates (for example OSHA‑10) and exploring how to fund higher‑cost exams.

Program highlights and outcomes
Derek highlighted program successes, including a large DECA chapter at Camas High School. He said \"well over 200 students\" participated in DECA last year; 157 qualified for state competition and 31 advanced to nationals. He also noted Discovery High School’s Maker Faire and regional partnerships that bring business mentors and internships into classrooms. Derek said the district passed its most recent Consolidated Program Review (CPR) from OSPI.

Logistics and next steps
Derek told the board he will include the five‑year plan document for board approval on the consent agenda at the next meeting to satisfy federal compliance and grant requirements. The board did not take formal action during the update; Derek closed the presentation by asking for questions and offering to accept feedback as the team prepares the formal five‑year submission.

Ending
Board members praised instructors and community partners cited in the update and discussed outreach and next steps, including an October advisory meeting open to parents and community partners. The board will see the CTE five‑year plan on the consent agenda at the next regular meeting.

Because key subcommittee members were not available, members agreed to delay further action and revisit the item after the subcommittee meets. One board member suggested the subcommittee should review the assessment data before presenting recommended goals to the full board.

The board did not take formal action beyond agreeing by consensus to table the item and place it on the next month’s agenda for follow‑up after the subcommittee meets.

Ending
Staff will coordinate the subcommittee meeting and ensure the item returns to the next regular board meeting for final consideration.

Briefing time changes and member availability
Staff proposed moving several regularly scheduled 8:00 a.m. board briefings to 10:30 a.m. to accommodate leadership lab schedules. Some board members said a 10:30 start conflicts with their availability; members discussed alternatives including a 3:00 p.m. or 3:30 p.m. start if needed. One board member noted, \"If I'm gonna have to take a whole day off of work anyways, might as well make it a whole day,\" supporting longer site‑visit days so travel and time off are used efficiently.

Site visit planning
Staff presented a draft schedule of site visits that prioritized secondary campuses and suggested fitting elementary visits into afternoons or combining multiple elementaries into one day. Board members favored student‑led portions of visits and suggested lunches on campus with staff and students. The board discussed making some site visits whole‑day events to allow for deeper engagement (student presentations, tours, meetings with directors) and agreed staff will begin scheduling with school leaders and accommodate board availability when possible.

Listening posts and community outreach
Board members discussed holding listening posts at varied locations (First Fridays, libraries, school sites) and making those events topical to draw new participants. The idea of soliciting topic suggestions from district advisory groups and the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) was raised. Staff agreed to pilot a QR‑code survey at committee events to gather topic suggestions for board listening posts.

Other scheduling notes
Board members noted a conflict on Oct. 3 with concession work at a football game and agreed not to schedule a First Friday event that evening. Staff will circulate an events calendar in weekly updates and flag items that require board attendance.

Ending
Staff will refine site‑visit times and locations and circulate a calendar; the board agreed to prioritize student engagement during visits and to solicit stakeholder suggestions for listening post topics.

","Directors debated moving regular 8 a.m. briefings to 10:30 a.m., planned a schedule of school site visits and listening posts, and agreed to circulate event information to board members. Board members expressed differing availability and proposed longer, full‑day site visits to increase engagement with students and staff.","actionData","errors"]
