# 10/13/2026 FGSD School Board Meeting

The Forest Grove School District Board meeting on October 13, 2026, focused on developing a legislative advocacy framework ahead of Oregon’s 2027 legislative session. Board members discussed state education governance, instructional quality, teacher preparation and licensing, special education funding, and the impact of legislative requirements on district capacity. They emphasized coordinating advocacy across Washington County and statewide, including in response to an anticipated 600 education bills, and discussed making the framework useful for conversations with legislators and the public.

The board did not adopt a final advocacy platform. Members supported continuing to refine the draft, clarifying references to pre-pandemic teacher requirements and making clear that its priorities are not ranked; a revised draft is to be shared before the regional school-board meeting later that week. The agenda was approved, but no procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
