Strategic Plan – A New Direction for Oregon Schools
Recently, the Board of Education adopted a new strategic plan designed to provide the district direction for the next 3-5 years. The process was collaborative and involved a cross-section of parents, staff and community members with the intention of making the schools “more efficient, more effective, and more engaged with the community.”
To accomplish this goal the committee identified the following five areas of focus that will provide strategic direction: (1) Curriculum; (2) Operations; (3) Finance; (4) Community Involvement, and; (5) Communications. Action steps have been developed to strengthen each of these areas and improve the overall performance of the district. The strategic plan can be viewed by clicking on this link.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
I am writing to invite you to an informational meeting which will be held at your school to discuss the current and future direction of K-12 education in the Oregon City Schools. As you are aware, this past year the district reduced the operational budget by $3.5 million resulting in the reduction and/or elimination of numerous staff, educational programs and services. The economy continues to struggle and the forecast for school funding at the state and local level is unstable. The basic meeting information is as follows:
| Clay High School |
6:00pm |
March 15 |
LMC |
| Starr Elementary |
6:00pm |

Many parents recently attended a forum titled “Sexting, Facebook, MySpace… - Do You Know What Your Child is Doing Online? Learn What You Need to Know! Attendees were informed about the dangers of risky online behavior. Topics covered included Sexting, Social Networking and Grooming/Enticement by sexual predators. District Technology Director, Nathan Quigg, organized the forum because “parents are largely uninformed when it comes to their children’s behaviors using cell phones and computers.” The goal was to provide parents with the knowledge necessary to protect and guide their children.
