08/31/2026 Regular Meeting of the TTSD School Board

The Tigard-Tualatin School District held its regular school board meeting on August 31, 2026. A significant portion of the meeting focused on updates related to the district's capital improvement projects funded by a bond measure. The board received detailed reports on summer construction progress, including completion of new facilities at Tiger High School and Twalton High School, HVAC upgrades, playground renovations, and plans for the Fowler school redesign. The projects are reported to be on schedule and under budget, with some adjustments made to accommodate design changes and supply delays. The board also discussed upcoming projects for summer 2027, including fire alarm system replacements, theater lighting upgrades, and additional playground work. Additionally, the board reviewed and discussed several policy updates, including a new policy on retirement of facilities and updates to staff electronic communication policies. A motion to direct the superintendent to draft a policy on screen time aligned with recommendations from a district workgroup was proposed but failed due to lack of a second, with board members emphasizing that screen time management is primarily a district operational matter rather than a board policy issue. The meeting also included discussions on enrollment trends and legislative priorities affecting school funding. Overall, the meeting highlighted ongoing procurement and capital project management activities, policy reviews, and strategic planning efforts within the district.
