Coos Bay Public Schools Regular School Board Meeting with Executive Session - July 13, 2026

Coos Bay Public Schools’ regular board meeting was held July 13, 2026, with an executive session to review the superintendent’s evaluation. The board heard a presentation on its five-year strategic planning process from Studer Education. The superintendent reported that the district had already signed the contract and that the cost would be covered with ESD funds, not the district’s general fund; no contract amount was stated, and no procurement vote occurred on the agreement. The process is expected to include a steering committee, surveys and focus groups, with a final strategic plan brought to the board for approval in June 2027. Board members emphasized inclusive participation, translation of surveys, and ensuring that diverse community voices are represented.

The board also discussed policy updates, including a staff dress and grooming policy and facility-use fee and procedure revisions. Administration said it plans to add an option for portable restroom cleaning to facility-use agreements and is working to publicly display facility rental information. The board approved a resolution designating district fund custodians and authorized check signers, then amended it to identify Columbia Bank. The consent agenda was approved; the transcript does not specify its individual items.
