# NDPS Restructuring Committee Meeting 2

Newberg Public Schools’ NDPS Restructuring Committee meeting on September 18, 2026, focused on eight school-staffing and consolidation models intended to address uneven enrollment, class sizes, and limited teacher collaboration across six buildings. The district said it cut $5.7 million the prior spring and described the models as ways to improve staffing efficiency and support teacher teams; it emphasized that class-size figures and cost estimates are preliminary and may change during budget development. The committee discussed model-specific effects, including school closures, student transitions, building capacity, blended grades, staffing impacts, and annual savings. One presentation noted that four school days would represent about $1 million in savings, while participants also questioned the long-term savings and capacity implications of several models.

Participants reported pros, cons, and questions for each model, but took no vote and selected no model. The district plans to compile feedback and address questions before the committee reviews and rates all models at its October 1 meeting, with feedback then scheduled for the school board and community. No contract awards, vendor selections, or other procurement activity were identified.
