march 2025 Report

Below is the Oregon City School District reporting on the Strategic Plan efforts as of March 10, 2025.

Safe and Engaging Learning environments

Goal 1:

  • By December 2024, will clarify roles/responsibilities at the school level for safety protocols- building on district safety protocols. 

  • ✅By October 2024, parents will begin to be notified one week prior to regular school drills to include a description and/or videos of the drill procedure and purpose.

  • By June 2025, at least two buildings will have a live simulation of emergency response with or without reunification.

Goal 2:

  • By June 2025, at least a quarterly event that the community can attend (music, festivals, math/lit night, curriculum night etc) will be held at each school during the day, evening or on the weekends.  

  • By October 2025, the district will create a process (website) for facilities use and rental. 

Goal 3:

  • ✅By November 2024, we will provide public information on the need and benefits of a potential bond.

  • Based on plans to consider placing a bond on the ballot, the Bond Advisory Team will reflect on information and make recommendations to the Superintendent and/or the Board.

Safe and Engaging Learning Environments report:

  • For each school building, roles were created and assigned to aid in emergency response. 

  • ¡Todos Unidos! at Candy Lane held a live emergency response simulation for staff. 

  • Gardiner’s live simulation and reunifications is scheduled for the end of April.

  • We have evaluated the district's facilities and their uses, and are working on photographing the different sites, as well as  building out our website with more information. 

  • We are continuing to define the opportunities for facility use.

We passed our 2024 Bond Measure!

  • Hired David Hobbs and Director of Bond Projects

  • Received an A+ rating with an AA+ enhancement through the Oregon School Bond Guarantee (OSBG) Program.

  • Selected OTAK for Project Management

  • Created a 16 member Community Bond Oversight Committee out of 38 applicants

  • Sold our $163 million voter-approved bond issue. The sale went extremely well, with overall demand for bonds vastly outstripping supply. 

  • As a result, the District will receive approximately $13.6 million in additional proceeds that can be used on projects in accordance with the voter-approved ballot title. 

  • Started design work on Phase 1 and 2 projects.
