Presented by J. Henss.

• We had a Successful Back to School Night.
• PTO is actively recruiting volunteers, more than we have had in the past but we always need more.
• The Move a Thon did well and is close to budget with about $77K in contributions and $12K with corporate matches. The team wasn't sure what to expect at the start of the year. The new teachers were on board and excited about the event.
• Art Lit starts last week of October.

A big thank you to the PTO for all of the organizing efforts and work.

The October Executive Directors Report presented by Jesus Urdiales is attached.

Some discussion about the math curriculum selection process occurred.

J. Urdiales shared that BSD is in their selection process and there is some advantage of teaming with them with a 2027-2028 official adoption. He shared that Dual Language programs may be using a different curriculum and J. Urdiales will stay in touch to be a part of the contracting process.

ODE may be aligning curriculum and will also be in the process of rolling out their accountability plan.

Some discussion was had around the denial of the TTSD Charter and the Arco Iris response with an appeal. C. Billings will be sending the full five year budget and work with marketing for family engagement. One challenge is that this timeline makes the start of September 2025 very difficult.

J. Urdiales shared the Progress Markers for instructional assistance, student social and emotional growth, engagement and educational achievement through self evaluation.

Report any changes in State School Fund (SSF) amounts (also known as ADMW) - none at this time

We will monitor attendance and SSF through the school year as we anticipate SSF reductions midyear and for the biennium due to the State of Oregon's fiscal position.

The Beaverton Chamber and Tigard Chamber have some upcoming events that board member are welcome to attend. We will continue to monitor events through the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Arco Iris was denied for Marie-Lamform.

Strategic Planning will be tabled until we know more about the next steps and status of the appeal with Tigard Tualatin School District.

The Structural Engineer Report has been provided and recommendations for next steps are on hold as drilling cores require a significant investment. Next steps will be discussed once the TTSD appeal is successful.

A new property has come up and search committee is looking at its feasibility.

After TTSD denied the charter proposal, several items were identified including more local parent interest and support and a more detailed budget.

C. Billings is waiting for the denial letter which will start the timeline for the appeal response.

There are several items we should be keeping track of:

The State of Oregon will be losing $800K in the coming biennium and this will impact SSF. We do not know to what extent yet.

A number of families are likely to lose SNAP Benefits. J. Heness and Y. Jones will work together on a plan for some assistance with the PTO.

J. Urdiales is working with PACE and collecting materials on how to address the ICE Response in the community, including a short term, mid term and long term sets of information. D. Siver offered to reach out to a former parent re: appropriate staff training.

The Board has several action items:

• D. Siver to bring drafts of Board Meeting Notices (ADA + Public Comment) for review
• C. Billings will work with marketing on Tigard Tualatin Outreach plan
• Y. Jones will coordinate a plan re: SNAP benefit support
• D. Siver will speak to AI parent attorney re: Response to ICE and staff training
