11/09/2026 Regular Meeting of the TTSD School Board

At the November 9, 2026, regular meeting of the Tigard-Tualatin School District Board, the board considered a proposed athletics and district apparel procurement. A motion was made to authorize the superintendent or designee to negotiate terms with BSN for uniforms and equipment through fiscal year 2031–32; the transcript ends during the vote, so its outcome is not recorded. The board also heard a facilities and enrollment plan proposing Alberta Ryder Elementary’s closure in 2028–29 and related boundary changes. District staff estimated more than $900,000 in annual operating savings, while noting the savings are not all immediate or guaranteed. The district plans to retain the Ryder property, use it temporarily as swing space for schools undergoing construction, and later explore possible community uses or partnerships. No closure decision was voted on in this excerpt.

Public comments raised concerns about the closure’s effects on staff and families, the future maintenance and use of the property, boundary impacts, and the district’s capital-planning choices. Speakers cited the 2025 $421.3 million bond and questioned planned investments of approximately $25 million at Mary Woodward compared with $5 million at Alberta Ryder. The board discussed community engagement, transition supports, enrollment projections, and class sizes. Students also presented on a foundation-funded grantmaking program; no district grant or spending decision was made on that item.
