9/22/2026 FGSD School Board Meeting

The September 22, 2026 Forest Grove School District Board of Directors meeting included a work session on legislative advocacy and a regular board meeting. The work session focused on developing a narrower, instruction-centered advocacy platform, with possible legislative asks involving literacy and math instructional time, teacher preparation and science-of-reading training, assessment in students’ language of instruction, special education funding, and the state’s education funding structure. Board members also discussed PERS costs, unfunded mandates, and coordinating priorities with other districts and OSBA. No final legislative platform or specific advocacy actions were adopted in the discussion.
