Director Ross Tomlin moved to approve the consent agenda and Director Amy Tatum seconded; the board answered \"aye\" on a voice vote and the chair declared the ayes unanimous.

Directors used the consent discussion to flag items that required correction or clarification before final recordation. Director Shirley Olsen noted a probable typographical error in a personnel assignment listed as Mountain View Middle School. Director Fisher asked about a K‑8 teacher mentioned as assigned to a high school and requested corrections to the welcoming week proclamation language (adding refugees and capitalizing \"Black and Indigenous\").

Superintendent Steven Cook reminded the board that two items were listed on \"consent for information,\" meaning they were published for public notification and did not require board approval; those included a corrected administrative expectation document on gender‑diverse student and staff support and the district's final organizational goals for 2025–26.

Why it matters: the consent agenda bundles routine approvals and informational items; the board’s unanimous vote cleared those items while capturing clerical corrections and requests for clarification.

Ending: Staff said they would make the noted corrections and provide requested clarifications as part of the record and follow‑up.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","September 9, 2025 School Board Regular Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","On Sept. 9 the board approved the consent agenda by voice vote after a motion by Director Ross Tomlin, seconded by Director Amy Tatum; directors raised minor corrections and asked for clarifications on personnel assignments and the welcoming week proclamation.","taxTitle","Bend-LaPine Administrative SD 1, School Districts, Oregon","taxId",13226,"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},6473454,"Bend‑La Pine to revise student personal electronic device policy under governor’s order; public comment planned",290,4274000,4564000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5745047-c97d6167a574d9b5e016d14a35112b42&start=4274&end=4564","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5745047-c97d6167a574d9b5e016d14a35112b42/thumbnail_4274000.jpg","/articles/6473454/Oregon/BendLa-Pine-to-revise-student-personal-electronic-device-policy-under-governors-order-public-comment-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6473454-9c69440017e108b823367b2279ea2db7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770513531&Signature=UzBhxBTuD3L9l4Qj6yIohaM~vH95Apo3D0lpfS6ttHDRympf7wrlmk-sI14U2XO2eRlNjm3RIe8kHVLwuI2uELYpXEYes9DmdQli8cdYiHbXezw8m9E5MWtG5PkIf0oS9oMtW5OkSHMZYcdo-jwXZV48S~wJk6RtwU9GP12OT~MZ0FJqicexeMCvIj90vRqaw5pjWo~tNv~glX~KMRXWrcASakSZ1JfjtwVPNY1vZS0NoOKZw8D7uI5xNJFZXpmr5IJn5~IaZktfCcOD9tca95K3M3RCKWQsHbK6if6Yi9EmZssZR~W9QGRTAWXf5c88iPnwzEoJn9ERyBnCN30LCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Steven Cook told the board Sept. 9 that the district proposes changes to the personal electronic device policy (JFCEB‑AP and associated regulation) to comply with a governor’s executive order and state law.

Cook said the district must finalize the policy by Oct. 31 and implement it by Jan. 1. \"This has to be fully implemented in the district by January 1 to be in compliance with the executive order of the governor,\" Cook said.

He said the changes are most consequential for high schools, where districts across the state have taken different approaches: some districts implemented outright bans at the start of the year, while Bend‑La Pine elected a phased approach intended to be operationally manageable. The district plans to publish the recommended changes for community feedback over the next few weeks.

Board members asked about exemptions. Director Shirley Olsen asked who will review exemption requests and whether families might seek exemptions broadly. Cook said exemption procedures would be worked out administratively and described examples of likely exempted needs: medical uses such as a diabetes app could merit exemption, while general work‑related access would be harder to justify. \"Most of that, I would think, is going to be collaboratively worked out from district personnel, administrative personnel along with building requests as we run into those,\" Cook said.

Cook said he does not expect most exemption decisions to come before the board but instead to be handled administratively under a district process. He also told the student voice council that the policy will be a topic for their engagement because it will particularly affect high school students.

Why it matters: the policy change affects day‑to‑day classroom management and student access to devices in high school; the executive order narrows district discretion and sets deadlines. The district will solicit public feedback before finalizing the regulation.

Ending: The administration will publish the draft changes for community comment and return with any final recommendations required by the Oct. 31 deadline; the board and administration emphasized outreach to students through the student voice council.","Superintendent Steven Cook presented recommended changes to policy JFCEB‑AP and its regulation on Sept. 9 to comply with a governor’s executive order; the district plans community feedback before a final copy due Oct. 31 and an implementation date of Jan. 1.",{"_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},6473459,"Bend‑La Pine details language and cultural services: dual‑language, newcomer and family liaison programs highlighted",2498,1775000,4273000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5745047-c97d6167a574d9b5e016d14a35112b42&start=1775&end=4273","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5745047-c97d6167a574d9b5e016d14a35112b42/thumbnail_1775000.jpg","/articles/6473459/Oregon/BendLa-Pine-details-language-and-cultural-services-duallanguage-newcomer-and-family-liaison-programs-highlighted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6473459-0f55a69fb2b6bd21e0584ebf8275d9f2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770513531&Signature=Yff6jpfbEfkwI9FbZVO2KpKti8BMTRf82tt6IiTZ4xNCq830Bn29xF8m94Splodvp~Cvcvo39~g2nGjlKxvVTX9UtbiDzlrElOYDXM6wW5q6KKO43hlBM4QNrfIWsUY4jbJS7abXj4BeDv5ofdVg~zCp3H1O3pxZHxLGRdnUUYCUv9b9-cSwL32dPzqpEj5P-~47k6GBODgdQFOPGUjo93SnR5uIqVcDrPj5cmDm654~HHCVcx9V9t2KyMRV7GezJQRPrqNDPkb-vs6eHQdIeqek2mzh5gev24AYd-xX9YxBQCS0TNtqaxO7tG3dRTISvbaHBKWmYyzxPEPw5TyNWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kinsey Martin, Bend‑La Pine Schools' executive director of policy and advocacy, told the board Sept. 9 that the district’s language and cultural services team supports a substantial multilingual student population and is expanding programs and curriculum.

\"We have over 1,300 students who have been identified as English language learners,\" Martin said, adding that the district identifies 37 home languages this year and that ‘‘recent arrival’’ students — those in their first three years in U.S. public schools — number about 290.

Martin described four program areas: the K–12 dual‑language (dual immersion) program, the newcomer program, family liaison services and ELD curriculum and partnerships. Staff leaders detailed program scale and work:

- Dual‑language: Stephanie Bonnie, elementary dual language coordinator and teacher, said the district now runs dual‑immersion at four sites (Bear Creek Elementary, Jewell Elementary, High Desert and Caldera) and that the district has graduated its third dual‑language cohort from Caldera High School. The program's goals are to produce students who are bilingual, biliterate and bicultural.

- Newcomer program and Fuerte: Chelsea Jennings, newcomer program specialist, described services for recently arrived students including field trips, college and career connections, academic supports and tailored interventions. George Perez explained the Fuerte program, a social‑emotional curriculum that lets newcomer students share experiences, build peer support and access school and community resources — a classroom therapy‑informed group that staff say aids healing and adjustment.

- Family liaisons and outreach: Liz Vargas and Carol Cruz described their work helping families navigate district apps, sign students up for sports and activities, enroll in supports such as OHP and connect with community services. Staff emphasized in‑person support for parents at PTO meetings and enrollment activities.

- Curriculum and professional development: Liza Hewitt, director of multilingual services, said the elementary team has completed two years of curriculum design and is auditing and revising materials; middle and high school teams are in design years. Hewitt highlighted community partners including the Bend Science Station, KTVZ and the district production kitchen that helped design hands‑on units tied to language instruction.

Martin and staff told the board that nearly 900 students participate in native‑language instructional models and that the district is piloting co‑teaching models, professional learning (SIOP and SIOP Intensive), and partnerships to provide classroom‑level sheltering of instruction. Staff invited board members to visit programs in person and emphasized the labor required to sustain the work across the district.

Board members asked about measurement and outcomes. Martin said the district slices outcome data but is fixing a technology bug before publishing the most recent analyses. Board members also asked about linkage to community mental‑health resources; staff said they use local partners, OHP enrollment assistance and services such as Care Solace to connect families with counseling and health services.

Why it matters: staff described sustained growth in multilingual populations, the labor intensity of programming and the need for continued district and community support. Administrators said the scale is large — staff noted that if dual immersion were a standalone district it would be larger than many Oregon districts — and asked the board to continue public support for staffing and partnerships.

Ending: Staff asked board members to visit programs and told the board they will return with ongoing curriculum and outcome updates as the teams complete auditing and data work.","District staff presented an overview of multilingual services Sept. 9: about 1,300 students have been identified as English learners, the district serves 37 home languages, nearly 900 students participate in native‑language instructional models, and newcomer and Fuerte social‑emotional programs support recently arrived students.",{"_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},6473464,"Bend‑La Pine Schools reports elementary enrollment shortfall, high school numbers above projection",498,1200000,1698000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5745047-c97d6167a574d9b5e016d14a35112b42&start=1200&end=1698","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5745047-c97d6167a574d9b5e016d14a35112b42/thumbnail_1200000.jpg","/articles/6473464/Oregon/BendLa-Pine-Schools-reports-elementary-enrollment-shortfall-high-school-numbers-above-projection","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6473464-10b80e6159c0db974fb48321bce7eaf4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770513531&Signature=m~uucwbqlS0f5~rqtmVcJ1iNtYwIxMYdIMnheDxdY-9mNkPCCoqBom1Znhr7DsvCgGDlIAitDXGr8piPhzSfQUR2aYKFq4mgxs1zZeKy4HH94BTpd~44G261vHeBwLEOq04ZTl2Zk3gvgKjMnJX1~5SYIK2jdEJSeIWt3LDJkwRm1LWralMwYfJ0f6WrVX~1XrX9TKAybh~aNQMQ3OQ2QjI9tq0ho85OPxvKyMlWFhHFL6GQXy3PrhdCUDzyP7iwEkXl1ctlhc5Zf5TlS-QrG1xegSpXPIDDAnFaUrE0jLwigrIwWE6r3wsRKsb97lGndLqs67a8rt6Dpc-WiUcj6Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dan Emerson, Bend‑La Pine Schools chief financial officer, told the board of directors on Sept. 9 that the district’s initial enrollment counts show a mixed picture for 2025–26: elementary enrollment is 108 students below the budget projection while high schools have 86 more students than projected.

\"We're 108 below what we projected from the budget,\" Emerson said. He told the board the elementary shortfall includes roughly 51 fewer kindergarten students and a notable decline in fourth grade enrollment.

Superintendent Steven Cook told the board the enrollment figures drive state funding and that the district will provide a fuller, weighted calculation next month. \"Numbers are the basis of the state school fund,\" Cook said, noting that the weighted average daily membership (which applies state weightings) will be part of the October report.

Why it matters: state school funding for the district is tied to enrollment and weighted membership. Emerson said while elementary counts are down, the high school gains offset much of the gap so far: the district is down only 38 students from projection overall, and Emerson expects additional high‑school students to enroll in the coming weeks based on last year’s pattern.

Details Emerson gave to the board include a year‑over‑year decrease of about 135 students districtwide and a roughly 150‑student drop at district brick‑and‑mortar schools (with charter schools offsetting some losses). He said the district is working with Flow Analytics and internal staff to analyze kindergarten and longer‑term trends.

Board members asked about demographic breakdowns and whether declines reflect particular communities. Director Kena Chadwick asked for race and ethnicity cuts tied to the kindergarten decline, specifically asking whether the Latino/Latine community is enrolling at different rates. Emerson said the district has demographic data and can disaggregate it but that the deeper analysis will be part of the October follow‑up.

Emerson also agreed to send figures about Bend‑La Pine Online (reported as roughly 660 students in a prior report) and ACR (alternative online) enrollments after the meeting.

What’s next: the district will return in October with school‑level and weighted membership detail and additional disaggregations by subgroup. The board and administration said they are monitoring the numbers and plan follow‑up work to understand causes and funding impacts.

Ending: Board members and staff emphasized monitoring and additional data work; Emerson and Cook committed to supplying a more detailed report and the district's analysis next month.","CFO Dan Emerson told the board Sept. 9 that elementary enrollment is 108 students below the district's budget projection while high schools are 86 students above projection; the district will return with a detailed October report and further disaggregated data.","actionData","errors"]
