School Board Retreat

West Linn-Wilsonville School District Board retreat, July 10, 2026: The board reviewed prior-year goals and discussed priorities for the coming year, including state-level school funding advocacy and budget monitoring, multi-tiered systems of support and inclusion, and artificial intelligence and educational technology. Members also discussed transparency, public involvement, absenteeism, and potential work sessions with local governments. The prior capital-bond goal was reviewed as complete; no new capital project, purchasing decision, or spending allocation was approved, and no votes on procurement were identified.

The superintendent shared findings from a draft review by Urban Collaborative, which the district had contracted to conduct, and said the completed report would be posted publicly. The district also contracted with a recently retired communications director to document the review and related listening sessions in an action plan. No contract amounts or contract awards were stated. Board leadership agreed to work with staff to formalize the proposed goals for adoption at the August meeting.
