**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The David Douglas School Board’s regular meeting on November 12, 2026, included a decision on the Oregon Education District pension bond program. The board discussed interest-rate and payroll-growth assumptions, risks, and estimated annual savings—about $786,000 for the general fund, $197,000 for other funds, and $275,000 for MECP, or roughly $1.2 million combined. A motion to authorize participation failed. Board members requested additional scenario modeling; staff noted that two further probability analyses are available at no additional cost and that market conditions would be reviewed before any bond sale.

The district also reported on capital and equipment matters: a freezer replacement is being funded through available energy-project and construction-excise-tax resources, and several buses are expected to arrive soon through the transportation replacement program. Facilities projects at multiple schools remain in punch-list or repair stages, with some corrections covered by contractors or warranties; no new construction contracts or awards were announced. The district reported that it selected i-Ready for K–8 reading assessment alongside its existing math assessment. Other major discussion included literacy and math assessment results, Native American Heritage Month, and the superintendent search process.
