July 15, 2026 Roseburg School Board Meeting

The Roseburg School Board’s annual organizational meeting was held July 15, 2026. The board approved its chair and vice chair for the 2026–27 school year and passed the consent agenda and annual administrative resolutions, including designations for the district’s auditor, attorney, budget officer, election official, and authority to apply for grants. Saurin CPAs PC was designated auditor; members discussed the annual agreement and periodic RFP process, noting the firm had served the district for six years. The board also approved the 2026–27 student fee schedule and the board-superintendent operating agreement. Policy updates were postponed to August to allow more review; no new contract award was reported.

Superintendent Cordon reported that the district received an approximately $50,000 Energy Trust grant for LED lighting at Eastwood, while the Renew America Schools grant remained pending authorization. Seismic funding applications were still awaiting confirmation, and the district had set aside about $1.4 million for seismic work. Members also discussed a $1.2 million grant and a district matching contribution, though the transcript does not clearly identify the grant program. The superintendent warned that expiring pension obligation bonds could create an estimated $400,000 cost from April through June and about $3.4 million in the following school year; discussions about a possible new bond sale were ongoing. No procurement vote or new spending authorization related to these updates was identified.
