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.

Parent Informational Meetings Print E-mail

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     Monday, March 15     Library/Media Center
Starr Elementary 6:00pm     Tuesday, March 16     Library/Media Center
Fassett Middle School     6:00pm     Wednesday, March 17      Library/Media Center
Jerusalem Elementary School     6:00pm      Thursday, March 18      Library/Media Center
Eisenhower Middle School     6:00pm      Monday, March 22     Library/Media Center
Coy Middle School     6:00pm     Tuesday, March 23     Library/Media Center
