SUPERINTENDENT REPORT
Dr. Zalar thanked the Board for attending the recent fundraisers put on by the Oregonians and the Oregon Foundation. He reminded them of the upcoming reverse raffle being done by the Athletic Boosters to benefit the athletic programs.
He proceeded to explain some of the highlights from recently passed legislation.
- SB9 will restore the district back to 5 Calamity Days
- SB9 also allows districts to decide locally whether to provide all day every day kindergarten and allows for fees to be charged for this service
- SB5 has passed the Senate and is now in the House for debate and amendment prior to becoming law. No-one knows what the final output will look like but there will be changes to the current collective bargaining practices as a result of this legislation.
In conclusion Dr. Zalar thanked the board for allowing teachers to attend rally’s at the state house, at the expense of the union, as the legislature works through this important issue.
