Director Brennan (presentation lead) told the board the district submitted a draft of its integrated guidance application and reviewed the process, priorities and funding alignment that will be included in the 2025–27 plan. The plan pulls together several state and federal programs — including early literacy, Student Investment Account (SIA), and high‑school success funds — into a single integrated strategy the Oregon Department of Education will evaluate.
Brennan summarized the planning process, noting community engagement, a needs assessment focused on early literacy and on‑track high‑school metrics, and a focus on historically underserved student groups. "So the purpose of being, presenting to you tonight is to share what was prioritized in the plan, to explain how the plan was developed, to hear feedback from you, on the plan now that it has been developed, and to present the integrated guidance applications and plans for North Bosco County School District and Mozart Community School for board approval, which is required in order to submit the application," Brennan said.
Key investments cited in the packet include youth outreach workers funded from CSI/TSI funding, professional development for the science of reading and curricular materials funded through the early literacy grant, roughly five FTE supported by the high‑school success grant, and roughly 32.685 FTE currently funded by SIA. The presenters said they developed longitudinal projected growth targets (LPGTs) and aligned local assessment measures to those targets.
Mosher Community School representatives described their local priorities and budgets: early literacy funding of about $63,000 and SIA funds around $200,000, which the school plans to use for a K–3 literacy specialist, a full‑time SEL teacher, enrichment and teacher professional development.
The staff noted the integrated plan is a two‑year application and that the packet contained draft LPGTs and metrics. Because the plan was not listed as an action item on the published agenda, Brennan recommended rescheduling a short virtual meeting (options suggested for the following Tuesday or Wednesday) so the board can formally approve and submit the application by the state deadline (the packet indicated an end‑of‑month deadline). "So my recommendation is we schedule a virtual meeting either next Tuesday or Wednesday so that we can submit the plan," Brennan said.
Ending: The board thanked staff and agreed to set up a virtual meeting to take formal action so the district can meet the application deadline.
