What Community Members Should Know

The Oregon City School District 62 Board's July 13, 2026 regular meeting focuses on annual governance actions that establish how the district will operate during the 2026-27 school year while continuing implementation of the district's 2025 bond program. The agenda combines organizational business, strategic updates, facilities planning, policy modernization, staffing approvals, and several significant contract and insurance actions.

One of the most consequential items is approval of contracts exceeding $150,000 together with builder's risk insurance for three Phase 2 elementary school bond projects. The insurance proposal totals $374,449.83 and covers work at Candy Lane, John McLoughlin, and Holcomb schools, reflecting continued investment in voter-approved bond construction.

The board is also scheduled to receive updates on the district strategic plan, bond implementation, summer school programming, and a presentation from North Clackamas Parks and Recreation. These reports provide residents with a snapshot of academic programming, long-range planning, and partnerships supporting students beyond the classroom.

Governance is another major theme. Board members will elect new board leadership for 2026-27, consider a full package of first-read policy revisions that modernize board governance and employment policies, approve annual operating resolutions, adopt the coming year's meeting calendar, and review staffing changes for the new school year.

Major Discussion and Action Items

Election of Board Leadership

The first action item is the annual election of the Board Chair and Vice Chair for the 2026-27 school year. Updated governance policies included elsewhere in the packet reinforce that board officers are selected following July 1 each year and outline responsibilities for agenda development, meeting management, and representation of the district.

Summer School and Student Learning Update

Staff will recognize district accomplishments through a summer school presentation led by Jen Weaver. The presentation highlights summer learning efforts and provides board members with an overview of programming taking place before students return in the fall. The update continues the district's emphasis on expanded learning opportunities and student engagement outside the regular academic calendar.

Strategic Plan Progress

District leadership will present a strategic plan report describing implementation progress. The agenda indicates that strategic plan updates are intended to become recurring board discussions throughout the year, allowing trustees and the public to monitor long-term priorities rather than limiting review to annual reports.

Bond Program and Capital Improvements

District administrators will provide a bond update focused on ongoing implementation of the 2025 bond program. Related action items include builder's risk insurance for Phase 2 elementary projects and continued financial oversight associated with construction. Bond updates are scheduled as recurring agenda items throughout the coming year, reflecting the scale and duration of the capital program.

Board Meeting Framework and Annual Work Planning

The board will discuss a draft framework for future meeting content. The planning document outlines recurring reports, recognition opportunities, strategic discussions, budget milestones, policy reviews, bond updates, and annual approval items throughout the 2026-27 school year. The objective is to improve meeting organization and ensure major district responsibilities are addressed on a predictable schedule.

Comprehensive First Reading of Board Policies

A substantial portion of the meeting is devoted to first readings of updated governance policies. The packet replaces or consolidates numerous older policies governing board authority, officers, committees, meetings, agendas, executive sessions, meeting procedures, superintendent qualifications and evaluation, equal employment opportunity, educational equity, sexual harassment, and budget committee operations. These are presented as first reads, meaning additional review and later adoption are expected before they become final.

Annual Operating Resolutions

Board members are asked to approve Annual Operating Resolutions 2627-200 through 2627-219. These resolutions establish routine administrative authorities needed for district operations during the new fiscal and school year.

Contracts and Insurance Approvals

Formal approval is requested for contracts exceeding $150,000 for the 2026-27 school year as required by district purchasing policy and Oregon requirements. The district explains that many of these agreements are cooperative or intergovernmental purchases used annually to provide specialized educational services.

A separate resolution authorizes expanded services with Brown & Brown to obtain builder's risk insurance for three major bond construction projects.

Financial Matters

The packet contains several financially significant actions.

The largest specifically identified expenditure is builder's risk insurance associated with the 2025 bond program:

• Candy Lane Elementary: $114,976.79
• John McLoughlin: $130,053.54
• Holcomb: $129,419.50
• Total insurance authorization: $374,449.83

The board is also asked to approve all district contracts exceeding $150,000 for the 2026-27 school year. Supporting materials explain these purchases generally involve cooperative purchasing agreements or intergovernmental arrangements commonly used for educational services. The packet provided does not list every vendor or contract amount within the extracted text.

Recurring bond updates and strategic budget planning scheduled throughout the coming year indicate continued financial oversight of construction, operations, and long-term planning.

Policies, Ordinances, Resolutions, and Governance

Governance modernization represents one of the largest sections of the meeting packet.

First-read policy revisions address:

• Individual board member authority and responsibilities.
• Election and responsibilities of board officers.
• Board committees and work sessions.
• Board meeting notices, agendas, communications, recordings, and minutes.
• Executive session procedures.
• Superintendent qualifications and annual evaluation.
• Educational Equity Advisory Committee.
• Budget Committee membership and procedures.
• Equal employment opportunity.
• Sexual harassment policies affecting employees and students.

Several existing policies are proposed for deletion because they are being replaced by updated versions. The Budget Committee proposal also prioritizes Educational Equity Advisory Committee representation when vacancies occur, consistent with recent Oregon requirements.

Reports, Presentations, and Informational Updates

The superintendent will provide a district update.

Additional informational presentations include:

• Summer school programming.
• North Clackamas Parks and Recreation partnership presentation.
• Bond program progress.
• Strategic Plan implementation report.
• Discussion of future board meeting planning and annual agenda priorities.

The planning document also maps future recurring reports including enrollment, attendance, athletics, behavioral health, diversity and equity, budget updates, bond progress, Division 22 compliance, audit reports, superintendent goals, and student achievement updates across the coming year.

Personnel, Appointments, and Organizational Matters

The consent agenda includes approval of staffing changes for 2026-27.

Highlighted hires include:

• Natalia Duran, Speech Language Pathologist, Student Services.
• Michelle Cvitanich, Temporary Prevention Specialist, Community Education.
• Jaiver Davenport, Transportation Supervisor.

The board is also asked to approve added-duty appointments including instructional and extracurricular assignments such as middle school dance support and district instructional teacher-on-special-assignment positions.

Board members will elect new leadership for the coming year as part of organizational business.

Projects, Facilities, Infrastructure, and Operations

Facilities remain a major district priority.

The packet supports continued implementation of Phase 2 elementary school bond projects through approval of specialized construction insurance covering Candy Lane, John McLoughlin, and Holcomb schools.

Operational matters also include annual operating resolutions, transportation staffing, travel approvals for student programs, and adoption of the 2026-27 board meeting calendar.

Student travel requests include DECA participation at Camp Rilea in July 2026 and Oregon City High School Student Council participation in a leadership conference in Seaside during November 2026.

Public Hearings and Opportunities for Community Input

• In person at the meeting by completing a speaker form.

Community Impact

Students and families may see continued investment in summer learning, strategic planning, special education staffing, transportation, and facilities funded through the bond program.

Taxpayers benefit from public review of major contracts, construction insurance, annual operating authorities, and recurring bond progress reports that improve financial transparency.

Employees are affected by updated employment, equal opportunity, superintendent evaluation, governance, and sexual harassment policies together with approval of new staffing and added-duty assignments.
