The H1N1 flu virus continues to have a presence in our school community and region in general. The district has several students with the virus in various buildings throughout the district. Therefore, the Oregon City School District will be hosting H1N1 vaccination clinics beginning Monday October 26, 2009. The clinics will be staffed by professional health care providers from the Toledo Lucas County Health Department. Specific details listing the protocols and procedures we will be following were sent out in a letter to parents last week. Also, the scheduled vaccination dates for each building are posted on the website. Please be aware that only students who have returned a signed copy of the “parental consent form” will be eligible to receive the vaccination. We hope this process will have a minimal impact on the educational process while providing a valuable service to the community.

We would like to share with you what Oregon City Schools is doing in the area of staff development. As you may know, our district has three pre-scheduled two-hour delays and one full-day set aside for staff professional development during this school year. This past November 3rd, we held a full day training that involved all of our teaching staff. The goal of the day was to introduce some new educational initiatives, train on existing initiatives, and provide a heightened awareness on how to be an effective teacher.
Here is a breakdown of the topics we covered:

School Funding
Over the last year, funding for public education in the state of Ohio has seen some significant changes. In fact, these funding changes mean that our Oregon Schools are seeing a loss in revenue from state and local revenues. These changes are in addition to the losses we continue to see each year due to HB 66.
Throughout these changes we have made many efforts to offset these losses and to tighten our district’s belt. This has resulted in eliminating more than $7 million from our budget, the elimination of jobs and academic programming. We are only now beginning to feel the impacts of these reductions.
