the district for all school-sponsored events.
Behavioral expectations are

and processes are in place to address unacceptable behavior (for example,
parents would be asked to pick up their students if they do not comply with
expected standards of conduct).

PACE TRUST AGREEMENT
(8:15 p.m.)
Mike Schofield presented information regarding two substantive changes to the
PACE Insurance Trust Agreement that were approved by the Oregon School
Boards Association’s board of trustees. (Refer to the agenda packet.) It was

provided in the agenda packet for first reading. A request for approval will be
requested at a subsequent meeting.
MOTION 69 PAID LUNCH EQUITY
(8:17 p.m.)
Mike Schofield reviewed the information provided in the agenda packet
regarding a proposed increase for paid lunch prices. The increase is necessary to
insure that government funds are not subsidizing the district’s paid lunches.
Annual increases will be necessary until the district’s paid lunch prices are above
the amount reimbursed by the federal government.
In the discussion that followed, board members expressed concern about the cost
of paid lunches, and it was noted that the federal government has been
increasing lunch prices faster than the rate of inflation. This is a concern that is
being addressed by national organizations, such as the National School Boards
Association.
It was noted that a large number of the district’s elementary schools provide free
meals, including breakfasts and lunches.
Following discussion, it was moved by Carla Piluso and seconded by Kent Zook
approve a $0.10 increase for elementary, middle, and high school paid lunch
prices for the 2016-2017 school year effective July 1, 2016.
The motion carried 4 to 2. Directors O’Connell and Ruthruff cast the dissenting
votes.

reading. A question was asked about why Burlingame Creek School is not on
the list. Burlingame Creek is a Multnomah Education Service District school,
which is housed in the former Alpha High School building in Gresham. The
administration will inquire about the omission of Burlingame Creek, or the
feasibility of adding it to the list, and report back to the board at the next
business meeting.
MOTION 70 MIDDLE SCHOOL MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM ADOPTION (8:25 p.m.)
It was moved by Kathy Ruthruff and seconded by Matt O’Connell to approve
Ready Common Core by Curriculum Associates as the math adoption for sixth
through eighth grades, to begin with the 2016-17 school year, in the amount of
$453,317. Discussion followed.
The motion carried 5 to 1. John Hartsock cast the dissenting vote.

second reading.

Criminal Records Checks/Fingerprinting
In a continuing effort to further ensure the safety and welfare of students and staff, the district shall require
criminal records checks and fingerprinting of all newly hired full-time and part-time employees. Others
having direct, unsupervised contact with students shall also have criminal records checks and
fingerprinting, as required by law ORS 326.603. “Direct, unsupervised contact” means contact with
students that provides the person opportunity and probability for personal communication or touch.
In addition to the newly hired employees, such checks shall be required of the following:
1.
All school district contractors and/or their employees, whether employed part-time or full-time;
2.
All volunteers in our schools and any school sponsored activity or event, who will have direct,
unsupervised contact with students;
3.
All contractors and/or their employees who provide early childhood special education or early
intervention services in accordance with rules established by the employment department Oregon
Department of Education, Child Care Division;
4.
Any community college faculty member providing instruction at the site of an early childhood
education program or at a school site as part of an early education program;
5.
An individual who is an public charter school employee or volunteer of a public charter school.
An individual who has failed to disclose the presence of criminal convictions that would not otherwise
prevent his/her employment with the district as provided by law may be employed or contracted with by
the district. The district’s use of criminal history must be relevant to the specific requirements of the
position, services or employment.
The district may shall not begin the employment of an individual, volunteer service, or terms of a district
contractor before the return and disposition of criminal record checks and/or fingerprinting. The service of
a volunteer will not begin before the return and disposition of a criminal records check.
The superintendent shall develop administrative regulations as necessary to meet the requirements of law.

RE:
No. 6 – Superintendent’s 2015-17 Employment Agreement
EXPLANATION:
Typically, the final step in the annual superintendent’s evaluation
process is to renew the superintendent’s employment agreement.
In preparation for the renewal, the board’s practice has been for
the chair and vice-chair to meet with the superintendent to review
terms of the agreement.
The current employment agreement with the superintendent was
approved by the board in June of 2015, and is effective until
June 30, 2017.
Provisions of the agreement that extend into 2017 were adopted to
reflect “the board’s desire to have compensation and other terms
that represent the superintendent’s scope of responsibility, current
market conditions, comparison data with other districts, and job
performance.”
Because the current agreement remains in force until June 30,
2017, board consideration of a renewal agreement is not necessary
at this time.
This item has been placed on the consent agenda this evening to
remain consistent with the established timeline for reviewing the
superintendent’s employment agreement, provide a historical
reference, and acknowledge that the current agreement is still in
force.
Discussion regarding subsequent years of the superintendent’s
employment agreement, process, and timeline will be included on
a future agenda, possibly during the board’s summer planning
session or in the fall.

RE:
No. 7 – Mutual Aid Omnibus Agreement
EXPLANATION:
In 2008 the Multnomah County school districts entered into an
Intergovernmental Agreement for the purpose of providing
emergency assistance to each other if needed.
The agreement provides participating districts with emergency
assistance in the form of supplemental personnel, equipment,
materials, or other support. The borrowing district will receive
support at the lender’s discretion. Cost to the borrowing district
generally occurs after the first eight hours of use for personnel or
equipment and at replacement cost for supplies and materials.
Resources “borrowed” with reimbursement and terms of
exchange are defined the attached agreement.
The point of contact for this agreement would be the director of
emergency management to be determined by each district. This
agreement will be effective upon execution by two or more
participating districts.
A participating district may opt to
terminate the agreement by providing written notice to each of the
participating districts.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
Mutual Aid Omnibus Agreement
Emergency Assistance 2016-2017
This OMNIBUS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by the undersigned Districts
(hereafter referred to as “Participating Districts”) to enable them to provide Emergency
assistance to each other during times of emergency.
WHEREAS, the Participating Districts have expressed mutual interest in the
establishment of an Omnibus Agreement to facilitate and encourage
mutual aid and assistance among the Participating Districts; and
WHEREAS, in the event of an emergency a Participating District which has
executed this Omnibus Agreement may need emergency assistance in the
form of supplemental personnel, equipment, materials or other support;
and
WHEREAS, each Participating District may own and maintain supplies and
equipment and employ trained personnel for a variety of public services
and is willing, under certain conditions, to lend its supplies, equipment and
supplemental personnel to other Participating Districts in the event of an
emergency; and
WHEREAS, the proximity of the Participating Districts to each other enables
them to provide emergency assistance to each other.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
hereinafter set forth, each undersigned Participating District agrees as
follows:
*****
ARTICLE I – APPLICABILITY
This Omnibus Agreement is available for execution to all Participating Districts. Execution of
the Omnibus Agreement by a Participating District will occur when the Participating District
signs an identical version of this Omnibus Agreement.
ARTICLE II – DEFINITIONS

first eight (8) hours (usual and customary costs) incurred by the Lender in providing any
asset requested. The Lender is expected to absorb the total labor costs for assistance which
takes less than eight (8) hours, and is expected to absorb the first eight (8) hours of labor
costs in an extended event. The labor costs, including overtime costs, will be absorbed by the
Lender, until the Borrower uses borrowed personnel more than eight (8) hours, at which time
the labor costs will be incurred by the borrowing Participating District. For this Omnibus
Intergovernmental Agreement
Mutual Aid Omnibus Agreement
Emergency Assistance 2016-2017
Page 2 of 12
Agreement, the time begins when the lending agency makes personnel available. Further
agreements regarding costs appear in Article XII, Loans of Personnel.
B. "Borrower" means a Participating District which has adopted, signed and subscribes to this
Omnibus Agreement and has made a request for emergency assistance and has received
commitment(s) to deliver emergency assistance pursuant to the terms of this Omnibus
Agreement.

request emergency assistance from or grant emergency assistance to another Participating
District pursuant to the terms of this Omnibus Agreement.
D. "Participating District" means an entire school district or entire education service district.

Agreement, as emergency assistance could be provided by any function or department
including, but not limited to instruction services, special education services, health services,
social services, business services, transportation, information services, and craft or
tradesmen.
E. "Director of Emergency Management" means the person appointed as the emergency
program manager by the superintendent or governing board of a Participating District.
F. "Emergency" includes, but is not limited to, a human-caused or natural event or
circumstances within the area of operation of any Participating District causing or threatening
loss of life, damage to the environment, injury to person or property, human suffering or
financial loss, such as: employee strike or work stoppage, fire, explosion, flood, severe
weather, drought, earthquake, volcanic activity, spills or releases of hazardous materials,
contamination, utility or transportation emergencies, disease, infestation, civil disturbance,
riots, acts of terrorism or sabotage, use of weapons of mass destruction; said event being or is
likely to be beyond the capacity of any affected Participating District or Participating
Districts, in terms of personnel, equipment and facilities, thereby requiring emergency
assistance.
G. "Emergency Assistance" means employees, services, equipment, materials, or supplies
offered during an emergency by the Lender and accepted by the Borrower to assist in
maintaining or restoring normal Participating District services when such service has been
disrupted by acts of the elements, equipment malfunctions, accidents, terrorism/sabotage and
other occurrences where emergency assistance from other Participating Districts is necessary
or advisable, as determined by the requesting Participating District.
H. "Emergency Contact Information Form" is the form to be submitted to the Directors of
Emergency Management by each Participating District that lists names, addresses, and 24
hour contact phone numbers of the Contact Person(s) of each Participating District.

and has agreed to deliver emergency assistance to another Participating District pursuant to
the terms and conditions of this Omnibus Agreement.

Page 3 of 12
J. "Omnibus Agreement" means identical Participating District agreements executed in
counterparts which bind the executing Participating District to its terms and conditions to
provide and receive emergency assistance. The terms and conditions of the Omnibus
Agreements are all identical and the execution of an Omnibus Agreement by a Participating
District binds that Participating District to all other Participating Districts which have
executed an identical Omnibus Agreement in counterparts. To be effective for purposes of
receiving emergency assistance, this Omnibus Agreement must be fully executed and
received by the Subscribing Participating Districts’ superintendents.
K. "Termination Date" is the date upon which this Agreement terminates pursuant to Article. V.
ARTICLE III – PARTICIPATION
Participation in this Omnibus Agreement is purely voluntary.
ARTICLE IV – ROLES OF DIRECTOR OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OF

ARTICLE V – TERMS AND TERMINATION
A. This Omnibus Agreement is effective upon execution by two or more Participating Districts.
B. A Participating District opting to terminate this Omnibus Agreement shall provide written
termination notification to the Director of Emergency Management for each Participating

Management. Any terminating Participating District shall remain liable for all obligations
incurred during its period of participation, until the obligation is satisfied.
ARTICLE VI – PAYMENT FOR SERVICES AND ASSISTANCE
Borrower shall pay the Lender for all valid and invoiced assistance costs within sixty (60) days
of receipt of the Lender’s invoice, for all of the emergency assistance services provided by the
Lender. Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect to extend the repayment deadline, upon the
written request of Borrower. In the event the Lender provides equipment, supplies or parts, the
Lender shall have the option to accept payment of cash or in kind for the equipment, supplies or
parts supplied.
ARTICLE VII – INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Lender shall be and operate as an independent contractor of Borrower in the performance of any
emergency assistance. Employees of Lender shall at all times while performing emergency
assistance continue to be employees of Lender and shall not be deemed employees of Borrower
for any purpose. Wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment of Lender shall
remain applicable to all of its employees who perform emergency assistance. Lender shall be
solely responsible for payment of its employees’ wages, any required payroll taxes and any
benefits or other compensation. Borrower shall not be responsible for paying any wages,
benefits, taxes, or other compensation directly to the Lender’s employees. The costs associated
with borrowed personnel are subject to reimbursement process outlined in Article XII. In no
event shall Lender or its officers, employees, agents, or representatives be authorized (or
represent that they are authorized) to make any representation, enter into any agreement, waive
any right or incur any obligation in the name of, on behalf of or as agent for Borrower under or
by virtue of this Omnibus Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII – REQUESTS FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
Requests for emergency assistance shall be directed to the designated contact person(s) on the
contact list provided by the Participating Districts. The extent to which the Lender provides any
emergency assistance shall be at the Lender’s sole discretion. In the event the emergency
impacts a large geographical area that activates either federal or state emergency laws, this
Omnibus Agreement shall remain in effect until or unless this Omnibus Agreement conflicts
with such federal and state Laws.

Page 5 of 12
ARTICLE IX – GENERAL NATURE OF EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
Emergency assistance will be in the form of resources, including equipment, supplies, and
personnel, or the direct provision of services. The execution of the Omnibus Agreement shall not
create any duty to respond on the part of any Participating District. A Participating District shall
not be held liable for failing to provide emergency assistance. A Participating District has the
absolute discretion to decline to provide any requested emergency assistance and to withdraw
resources it has provided at any time without incurring any liability. Resources are “borrowed”
with reimbursement and terms of exchange varying with the type of resource as defined in
Articles X through XII. The Participating Districts recognize that time is critical during an
emergency and diligent efforts will be made to respond to a request for resources as rapidly as
possible, including any notification(s) that requested resources are not available.
ARTICLE X – LOANS OF EQUIPMENT
At the sole discretion of the Lender, equipment may be made available upon request of a
Participating District. The first eight (8) hours of use will be without cost to the Borrower, after
which use of equipment, including construction equipment, vehicles, tools, pumps and motors,
shall be at the Lender’s actual costs or their current equipment rate; or if no written rates have
been established, at the hourly operating costs set forth in an industry standard publication as
selected by the Directors of Emergency Management, or as mutually agreed between Borrower
and Lender. Equipment and tool loans are subject to the following conditions:
1. At the option of the Lender, loaned equipment may be loaned with an
operator. See Article XII for terms and conditions applicable to use of
borrowed personnel.
2. Loaned equipment shall be returned to the Lender upon release by the
Borrower, or immediately upon the Borrower’s receipt of an oral or written
notice from the Lender for the return of the equipment. When notified to
return equipment to a Lender, the Borrower shall make every effort to return
the equipment to the Lender’s possession within twenty-four (24) hours
following notification.
3. Borrower shall, at its own expense, supply all fuel, lubrication and necessary
maintenance for loaned equipment. The Borrower will take proper precaution
in its operation, storage and maintenance of Lender’s equipment. Lender shall
endeavor to provide equipment in good working order. All equipment is
provided “as is”, with no representations or warranties as to its fitness for
particular purpose, or general condition.
4. Lender’s costs related to the transportation, handling, and loading/unloading
of equipment shall be chargeable to the Borrower. Lender shall provide
copies of invoices for these charges when provided by outside sources and
shall provide hourly accounting of charges for Lender’s employees who
perform these services.
Intergovernmental Agreement
Mutual Aid Omnibus Agreement
Emergency Assistance 2016-2017
Page 6 of 12
5. Without prejudice to a Lender’s right to indemnification under Article XIV, in
the event loaned equipment is lost or damaged while in the custody and/or use
of the Borrower, or while being returned by Borrower to the Lender, Borrower
shall reimburse the Lender for the reasonable cost of repairing the damaged
equipment. If the equipment cannot be repaired within a time period indicated
by the Lender, then Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of replacing
damaged equipment with equipment which is of equal condition and
capability. Any determinations of what constitutes “equal condition and
capability” shall be at the discretion of the Lender. If Lender must lease or
rent a piece of equipment while the Lender’s equipment is being repaired or
replaced, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for such costs. Borrower shall
have the right of subrogation for all claims against persons other than parties
to this Omnibus Agreement who may be responsible in whole or in part for
damage to the equipment. Borrower shall not be liable for damage caused by
the sole negligence of Lender’s Operators.
ARTICLE XI – EXCHANGE OF MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
Borrower shall reimburse Lender in kind or at Lender’s actual replacement cost, plus handling
charges, for use of partially consumed or non-returnable materials and supplies, as mutually
agreed between Borrower and Lender. Other reusable materials and supplies which are returned
(unused) to Lender in clean, damage-free condition shall not be charged to the Borrower and no
rental fee will be charged. Lender shall determine whether items returned are “clean and
damage-free” and items shall be treated as partially consumed or non-returnable materials and
supplies if an item is found to be damaged.
ARTICLE XII – LOANS OF PERSONNEL
Lender may, at its option, loan to Borrower employees who are willing to provide various
services. These employees will be loaned without cost to the Borrower for the first eight (8)
hours of service, after which they will be loaned at Borrower’s expense equal to Lender’s full
costs, including each employee’s salary or hourly wages, call back or overtime costs, benefits
and overhead, and consistent with Lender’s collective bargaining or individual contracts, if any,
or other conditions of employment. Costs to feed and house loaned personnel, if necessary, shall
be chargeable to and paid by the Borrower. The Borrower is responsible for assuring such
arrangements as may be necessary to provide for the safety, housing, meals, and transportation to
and from job sites/housing sites (if necessary) for loaned personnel. The Participating Districts’
Directors of Emergency Management or their designees shall develop planning details associated
with being a Borrower or Lender under the terms of this Omnibus Agreement.
Lender personnel providing emergency assistance shall be under the temporary direction of the
emergency management authorities of the Borrower. Lender shall not be liable for cessation or
slowdown of work if Lender’s employees decline or are reluctant to perform any assigned tasks
if employees judge a task to be unsafe. A request for loaned personnel to direct the activities of
others during a particular response operation does not relieve the Borrower of any responsibility
or create any liability on the part of the Lender for decisions and/or consequences of the response
operation. When supervisory personnel are loaned, the Lender may make stipulations on the
scope and duties of supervisory personnel loaned.
Intergovernmental Agreement
Mutual Aid Omnibus Agreement
Emergency Assistance 2016-2017
Page 7 of 12
ARTICLE XIII – RECORD KEEPING
Time sheets and/or daily logs showing hours worked and equipment and materials used or
provided by the Lender will be recorded on a shift by shift basis by the Lender and/or the loaned
employee(s) and will be provided to the Borrower as needed. If no personnel are loaned, the
Lender will provide shipping records for materials and equipment, and the Borrower is
responsible for any required documentation of use of material and equipment for any available
state or federal reimbursement. Under all circumstances, the Borrower remains responsible for
ensuring that the amount and quality of all documentation is adequate to enable disaster
reimbursement if available.

Omnibus Agreement are expected to:

of defense, claims, judgments or awards of damages asserted or arising directly or indirectly
from, on account of, or in connection with providing emergency assistance to the Borrower,
whether arising before, during or after performance of the emergency assistance and whether
suffered by any of the Participating Districts or any person or entity.
C. ACTIVITIES IN BAD FAITH OR BEYOND SCOPE. Any Participating District shall not
be required under this Omnibus Agreement to indemnify, hold harmless and defend any other

duties.
D. LIABILITY FOR PARTICIPATION. In the event of any liability, claim, demand, action
or proceeding, of whatever kind or nature arising out of rendering of emergency assistance

only involvement in the transaction or occurrence which is the subject of such claim, action,
demand, or other proceeding, is the execution and approval of this Omnibus Agreement.

Participating District for, or be considered in breach of or default under this Omnibus
Intergovernmental Agreement
Mutual Aid Omnibus Agreement
Emergency Assistance 2016-2017

Agreement, except to make payment as specified in this Omnibus Agreement.
F. PARTICIPATING DISTRICT LITIGATION PROCEDURES. Each Participating District
seeking to be released, indemnified, held harmless or defended under this Article with

and participate in legal proceedings if so requested by the Borrower, and/or required by a
court of competent jurisdiction.
ARTICLE XVI – WORKERS’ COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE CLAIMS
Lender’s employees, officers or agents, made available to Borrower, shall remain Lender's
employees, officers or agents while engaged in carrying out duties, functions or activities
pursuant to this Omnibus Agreement, and each Participating District shall remain fully
responsible as employer for all taxes, assessments, fees, premiums, wages, withholdings,

obligations with respect to its own employees. Likewise, each Participating District shall
provide Workers’ Compensation in compliance with statutory requirements of the State of

Participating District may enter into separate emergency assistance agreements with any other
entity. No separate agreement shall terminate any responsibility under the Omnibus Agreement.

Agreement, prior agreements for emergency assistance between the Participating Districts will
supersede this Omnibus Agreement, until the inconsistencies of the prior agreements are
reconciled by the Participating Districts.

of ownership, possession, use or control of the facilities or assets of any other Participating

Meal Equivalent Defined:
1. For fixed price per meal purposes, each reimbursable lunch shall be considered one (1)
meal/meal equivalent, each reimbursable breakfast shall be considered one-third (1/3) of a meal/meal
equivalent, and one reimbursable snack shall be considered one-fourth (1/4) of a meal/meal equivalent.

(Example: The meal equivalency rate = $3.06 plus $0.2525 equals $3.3125 and Lunch Equivalents = total
Ala Carte dollars divided by $ 3.3125).

Options for Contracted Meal Services
How to get meals from outside your organization?
Sponsors for the Child Nutrition Programs have options for providing food/meal services. Food
service contracts are agreements between school districts both public and private, private non-profit
organizations or a public government entities. The meal providers may also be a catering company
or a food service management company. The provider may prepare and serve the food or may act
as a vendor only.
Meals not prepared by the Sponsor either on site (self-prep) or from the Sponsor’s central kitchen are
considered meals from an outside source.
Choose the agreement that best fits your situation.
Intergovernmental Agreement (Pages 2-6) Fillable form, complete, print, and sign page 6
This type of Agreement is between two public entities. When a sponsor that is a public entity
receives food, meals, and/or staffing from another public entity an Intergovernmental Agreement is
used. (ORS 190.010)
If there is another Sponsor for the child nutrition programs that is willing to be the vendor, the
Agreement may be awarded by direct negotiation with the other Sponsor without competition.
The Sponsor will retain all documentation in their files for review. Agreements developed under this
option do not have renewal years available; they are negotiated each year.
Vended Meal Agreement (Pages 7-12) Fillable form, complete, print, and sign page 11
In a Vended Meal Agreement, the vendor does not directly manage any aspect of actually serving
the food. Instead, the vendor provides only pre-packaged, pre-plated meals or food only.
When meal food costs will be under $150,000 during the fiscal year and the Sponsor is providing
the staff for serving the meals a Vended Meal Agreement is used. The Sponsor must document
contact with at least three (3) vendors and obtain competitive price quotations.
The Sponsor will retain all documentation in their files for review. Agreements developed under this
option do not have renewal years available; they are negotiated each year.
Food Service Management Company Agreement
The Food Service Management Company (FSMC) provides services for Sponsors such as serving,
producing, and supplying prepared foods. FSMCs can also provide program operational, facility
management, and staffing services to Sponsors.
In general, FSMC services will require a competitive procurement and resulting agreement as the
yearly cost is over $150,000.
Sponsors typically use a Request for Proposal (RFP) format to procure a management company.
The RFP format allows the Sponsor to award the Agreement based on a combination of lowest
price and how well the proposals meet the evaluation criteria established by the Sponsor.

Options for Contracted Meal Services
How to get meals from outside your organization?
Sponsors for the Child Nutrition Programs have options for providing food/meal services. Food
service contracts are agreements between school districts both public and private, private non-profit
organizations or a public government entities. The meal providers may also be a catering company
or a food service management company. The provider may prepare and serve the food or may act
as a vendor only.
Meals not prepared by the Sponsor either on site (self-prep) or from the Sponsor’s central kitchen are
considered meals from an outside source.
Choose the agreement that best fits your situation.
Intergovernmental Agreement (Pages 2-6) Fillable form, complete, print, and sign page 6
This type of Agreement is between two public entities. When a sponsor that is a public entity
receives food, meals, and/or staffing from another public entity an Intergovernmental Agreement is
used. (ORS 190.010)
If there is another Sponsor for the child nutrition programs that is willing to be the vendor, the
Agreement may be awarded by direct negotiation with the other Sponsor without competition.
The Sponsor will retain all documentation in their files for review. Agreements developed under this
option do not have renewal years available; they are negotiated each year.
Vended Meal Agreement (Pages 7-12) Fillable form, complete, print, and sign page 11
In a Vended Meal Agreement, the vendor does not directly manage any aspect of actually serving
the food. Instead, the vendor provides only pre-packaged, pre-plated meals or food only.
When meal food costs will be under $150,000 during the fiscal year and the Sponsor is providing
the staff for serving the meals a Vended Meal Agreement is used. The Sponsor must document
contact with at least three (3) vendors and obtain competitive price quotations.
The Sponsor will retain all documentation in their files for review. Agreements developed under this
option do not have renewal years available; they are negotiated each year.
Food Service Management Company Agreement
The Food Service Management Company (FSMC) provides services for Sponsors such as serving,
producing, and supplying prepared foods. FSMCs can also provide program operational, facility
management, and staffing services to Sponsors.
In general, FSMC services will require a competitive procurement and resulting agreement as the
yearly cost is over $150,000.
Sponsors typically use a Request for Proposal (RFP) format to procure a management company.
The RFP format allows the Sponsor to award the Agreement based on a combination of lowest
price and how well the proposals meet the evaluation criteria established by the Sponsor.

Principal’sReport–NorthGreshamElementaryPrincipalTracyKlinger
Tracy Klinger, principal of North Gresham, went home early due to being ill. Fortunately for us,
Julie Evans, our Elementary Education Director, stepped in to share about North Gresham
Elementary School. North was one of two elementary schools to receive a technology grant. So
they are currently working on that. They have also been using the Journeys curriculum, which
focuses on language arts. There have many different programs going on here including the Right
Brain Initiative. The school is in its first year of being a SUN school and they are using the
Restorative Justice Program in the school. The Restorative Justice Program is a teaching/learning
based discipline program rather than a consequence based program. The school is also looking
forward to the bond coming up, as they are hoping for a brand new school.

No. 20 – Audit Involvement Committee Meeting Summary for May 5, 2016
EXPLANATION:
The Audit Involvement process provides an essential two-way
communication between the independent auditor and the board.
The process enhances the board’s responsibility to provide
independent review and oversight of 1) the district’s financial
reporting processes, 2) the district’s internal controls, and 3) the
independent audit of the district’s financial statements.
The process includes several meetings a year between
management and the board chair, vice-chair and two appointed
budget committee members.
The committee met with the independent auditor to review the
upcoming schedule, audit process and expectations. This was an
opportunity for the committee to share areas of interest or
concerns identified prior to the start of the audit process.

RE:
No. 21 - Evaluation of the Superintendent
EXPLANATION:
Board Policy CBA states that the position of superintendent is
designed to provide for the effective administration of all schools
and departments as well as educational leadership throughout the
school system and community. The policy refers to a set of seven
standards of performance for which the superintendent is
responsible.
At least annually, the board evaluates the
superintendent in relation to these standards of performance.
The 2015-16 evaluation process began in August 2015 with the
establishment of an evaluation committee comprised of directors
Howatt (who served as chair of the committee), Hartsock, and
Garner. The board’s charge to this committee was to hire a
consultant to design a 360° evaluation process, survey a variety of
stakeholders, and report the results to the board. Accordingly, the
Coraggio Group was hired to consult with the committee and
conduct the survey.
A comprehensive report with survey responses was presented to
the board by the Coraggio Group in an executive session on
May 5, 2016. Subsequently, Director Howatt compiled a summary
of the evaluation results for board discussion and acceptance this
evening. This step will conclude the 2015-16 evaluation process.
The evaluation process and timeline for subsequent years will be
reviewed by the board during the August planning session.

RE:
No. 23 – Budget Committee Appointment Process
EXPLANATION:
As discussed previously, the administration is bringing the
budget committee appointment process forward much earlier
than in prior years. The intent is to get members appointed earlier
so those that are interested can take part in budget, financial and
audit discussions much earlier in the school year.
The district currently has three budget committee positions open
as follows:
Position 2…..Previously held by Kasey Jackson
(1 year replacement for Margaret Collins)
Position 4…..Currently vacant
Position 5…..Previously held by Justin Weatherford
Eligibility requirements for budget committee members are as
follows:
1. The candidate must live in the district.
2. The candidate must not be an officer or employee of the
district.
3. The candidate must be a registered voter in the district.
PRESENTER:

noted above;
2. the chief financial officer advertises the open positions and
contacts the previous budget committee members to
determine their willingness to continue service on the budget
committee;

RE:
No. 24 – Audit Involvement Team Appointment
EXPLANATION:
In December 2008, the board approved the process to increase
board member involvement/oversight of the audit process. The
process provides the essential two-way communication between
the board’s independent auditor and board/budget committee
members. The process also enhances the board’s responsibility to
provide independent review and oversight of 1) the district’s
financial reporting processes, 2) the district’s internal controls, and
3) the independent audit of the district’s financial statements. The
process includes several meetings each year between the auditor,
the audit involvement committee and management.
Justin Weatherford currently serves on the audit involvement
team.
Since Mr. Weatherford’s term of service on the budget committee
ends on June 30, 2016, and we do not have another budget
committee member appointed to the audit involvement team, the
administration recommends filling these two positions once there
is a full slate of budget committee members.
PRESENTER:
Mike Schofield
SUPPLEMENTARY
MATERIALS:
None
RECOMMENDATION:
Delay appointments to the Audit Involvement Team until the
board has filled the vacant budget committee positions.

No. 27 – School District Collaboration Grant
EXPLANATION:
During the 2015-16 school year, the Gresham-Barlow School District
was awarded the Collaboration Grant for Design from Oregon
Department of Education (ODE) in the amount of $50,000. The focus
of this grant was to improve student achievement through voluntary
collaboration of teachers and administrators to design new
approaches to:
a)
b)
c)
d)
Career pathways for teachers;
Evaluation processes for teachers;
Compensation models for teachers; and
Enhanced professional development opportunities for teachers.
Linking these four components to educator effectiveness empowers
teachers, promotes leadership, and raises student achievement. The
Collaboration Design Team created a blueprint in each of these four
areas.
On June 20 members from the Collaboration Design Team will be
presenting the blueprints to staff from ODE, to secure a School
District Collaboration Grant for nearly $950,000 for the 2016-2017
school year. If the grant is awarded to the school district, it will be
brought to the board for acceptance at a future meeting. An
assurance page needs to be signed by the Board Chair, along with
the Superintendent and the GBEA Bargaining Chair prior, to the
June 20 presentation.
The assurances are outlined in the
supplementary materials.

In the spring of 2015, the board directed the administration to
assemble a Bond Measure Planning Committee to determine
capital facility needs for the district.
The Bond Measure Planning Committee, through a series of datagathering meetings and input from students, parents, community,
individual school staff, and the administration, developed a list of
urgent and long-term needs for safety improvements, capital
maintenance items, facility replacement recommendations, facility
upgrades, facility additions, and equal access to technology and
classroom equipment, totaling approximately $490,000,000.
After assessing the original list of needs, the Bond Measure
Planning Committee prioritized the list of urgent and long-term
needs and recommended safety improvements, capital
maintenance items, facility replacement recommendations, facility
upgrades, facility additions, and equal access to technology and
classroom equipment, totaling approximately $298,600,000, and
presented the recommendation to the board in February 2016.
The board reviewed the initial recommendation and directed the
administration to solicit input from staff, parents, and community
members regarding the prioritized list developed by the Bond
Measure Planning Committee. During the months of March
through April, the administration collected feedback from 778
staff, 143 parents, and 230 community members. The feedback
was presented and reviewed by the board at a work session in
May.
Based on the feedback from staff, parents, and community
members, the administration recommended changes to the Bond
Measure Planning Committee’s recommendation as presented on
June 2, 2016, revising the total recommendation to $299,170,000.

Educational Equity
The Gresham-Barlow School District is committed to ensuring the right of each student to have equitable
opportunities to achieve their dreams and academic goals by minimizing barriers and limitations. Student
success will not be predicted nor predetermined by national origin, race, culture, ethnicity, sex, language,
socio-economic status, mobility, sexual orientation, disability, and/or religion.
The Gresham-Barlow School District recognizes that:
•
Responsibility rests on all Gresham-Barlow School District employees to foster each student’s
individual determination to access high quality education and perform at heightened levels of academic
proficiency.
•
All district staff must partner with families for shared decision making.
•
Allocating resources equitably rather than equally will support the narrowing of the achievement and
other student opportunity gaps.
•
An inclusive and welcoming environment allows students and families to feel safe, respected, and
valued, thus supporting students in achieving their educational objectives.
To this end the District will:
•
Actively eliminate practices as they are identified that prevent students from achieving academic
success, including barriers of institutional racism. The District will apply the principle of equity to
policies, programs, practices, operations and resource allocation to enable all students to access a high
quality education.
•
Recruit, employ, support and retain a culturally competent workforce that reflects the racial, ethnic,
sex, and linguistic diversity of the student body. The district shall consider workforce equity when
recruiting, employing, supporting and retaining staff.
•
Involve students, families, staff, and community members that reflect student demographics to inform
school and district level decisions, particularly those involving the narrowing of the achievement and
other opportunity gaps.
•
Recognize and remove institutional barriers that hinder students from achieving academic success.
•
Provide support for all students through equitable resource allocation to schools.
•
Plan and engage administrators, instructional and support personnel in ongoing professional
development in culturally competent and culturally responsive practices.
•
Support and provide ongoing equity training to staff for the goal of eliminating institutional racism.

PACE is the district’s property and casualty insurance coverage

and was recently reviewed and revised.
There are two substantive changes to the Trust Agreement that
were approved by the OSBA board of trustees. First, trustees
created a dispute resolution process that encourages the parties to
resolve any disputes at the lowest possible level. Second, PACE

**IMPORTANT**
REQUIRES BOARD ACTION
DATE:
March 28, 2016
TO:
PACE Members
FROM:
Phil Wentz, PACE Board Chair
SUBJECT:
New PACE Trust Agreement Requires Board Action
Oregon law requires that self-insured public entity programs be formed through an
intergovernmental agreement between the participating entities. PACE’s original trust
was adopted in 2006 and the Trustees just completed a review of the original trust and
proposed a couple of changes to the OSBA Board of Directors.
Now that the new PACE Declaration of Trust has been approved by the OSBA Board of
Trustees, it is necessary to have all of the trust members have their boards adopt the
Joinder of Trust Agreement. The Joinder of Trust Agreement is located on the last page
of the enclosed Declaration of Trust. By signing the Joinder of Trust Agreement your
board will be entering into an intergovernmental agreement with PACE.
Before renewing in the PACE self-insured, property, and liability program, your board
will need to adopt the enclosed Joinder of Trust Agreement and return a signed copy to
PACE. We understand that this is not an easy task for PACE’s many members to
accomplish, but we assure you we would not be taking this action if the Trustees did
not feel it was absolutely necessary to protect the trust’s assets, which all of the
members have helped build over the past 10 years.
Following is the deadline for sending back the signed resolution to
PACE by:
 June 30, 2016
 Please return the signed resolution to [email protected]
or FAX to (503) 371-4781
I am sure you and your board members will have questions about the new Trust
Agreement. In anticipation of your questions, following are some frequently asked
questions and answers for your reference.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What is my district’s financial risk as part of a self-insured program?
The revised Declaration of Trust does not increase your district’s financial liability any
more than you currently have under the existing Trust Agreement. The PACE Trust is a
non-assessable trust. This means that your district can never be asked to contribute
additional funds, other than your annual contributions, to cover your claims or the
claims of any other member. It also means, though, that you are ultimately responsible
for your own claims liabilities in the event the trust is not able to pay your claims. The
PACE Trustees are dedicated to making sure this never happens by being extremely
conservative with the amount of funds the trust retains to pay claims. Based on a
certified actuary’s estimates, PACE has over $32 million to satisfy all claims liabilities.
When not used in the day-to-day business operations, these funds are invested, which
allows for reinvestment of PACE resources into programs that reduce members’ risks
and keep rates low. In addition, the trust purchases reinsurance that puts a cap on the
trust's and members' claims liability.
Why is the Trust Agreement an intergovernmental agreement?
Oregon law requires that for local governments to form their own self-insured
programs they must do so by entering into an intergovernmental agreement.
Intergovernmental agreements require each participating organization to have a
resolution adopted by its Board of Directors. The enclosed Joinder of Trust Agreement
can be considered a suggested board resolution.
What are the primary differences between this new Trust Agreement and the original
agreement?
There are two substantive changes to the Trust Agreement. First, Trustees created a
dispute resolution process in the new Trust Agreement that encourages the parties to
resolve any disputes at the lowest possible level.
Secondly, under the new agreement, Trustees will be allowed to serve up to three
terms of three years, adding stability to the program and allowing Trustees the ability
to apply the education they have received to the complexities of the insurance
program.
Why can't my district find a resolution adopting the original Trust Agreement?
When the original Trust Agreement was created in 2006, the originators did not believe
the Trust Agreement needed to be approved by the participating members. They had
an opinion that the coverage documents issued to members at their insurance
renewals were considered an intergovernmental agreement that was entered into with
the members when the members paid their contributions. With changes in law and
philosophy over time, we believe that the best course of action for the newly amended
Declaration of Trust is for each member to sign a resolution agreeing to enter into the
Trust Agreement as an intergovernmental agreement.
What happens if my district does not adopt the resolution?
Unfortunately, if your district does not adopt the Joinder of Trust Agreement, your
district will no longer be able to participate in the property or liability program. Your
district will not be able to renew its coverage in these programs when your current
policy term expires.
Whom should I contact if I have questions about the enclosed materials?

acting by and through its Board of Directors, and the TRUSTEES signatory hereto,
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Oregon School Boards Association, hereinafter referred to as the "Association," is
an organization of school boards of school districts in the State of Oregon established to promote the
common interests of its members and to institute programs to assist those members in performing their
governmental functions in a cost effective way; and
WHEREAS, the Association desires to establish a program whereby the risks incurred by its
members in the areas of tort liability, property loss and workers' compensation may be effectively and
economically managed and whereby insurance and self-insured retention of such risks may be most
responsibly and economically funded; and
WHEREAS, the Association has agreed to establish such a program and to make arrangements for
those members of the Association which desire to do so to procure and maintain group insurance coverages
or participate in group self-insurance for the benefit of such members; and
WHEREAS, the Association is merely an association and the establishment of a trust is necessary
and desirable for the receipt, protection, management and disposition of the premiums, contributions and
other collections to be received; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this agreement, therefore, is to establish a trust which will protect and
manage insurance premiums, contributions and other collections related to the program; oversee the
management and administration of the program; and approve the necessary contracts, insurance policies,
premium and fee schedules, and other arrangements necessary to implement the program for the benefit of
those members of the Association that choose to participate; and
WHEREAS, the undersigned Trustees have consented to act as the initial trustees under this Trust
Agreement, and their consent shall be evidenced by their signatures hereto,

Upon satisfaction of all obligations of the Trust, all remaining assets of the Trust shall be
returned to current participating members based on a formula of historic contributions and
losses to the Trust.
(d)
Automatic termination as provided in Paragraphs 9(a)(1), (2) and (4) shall not affect the
rights of any participating member under any "policy" of "insurance" underwritten by an
"insurer" other than the Trust, as the terms "policy", "insurance" and "insurer" are defined
in the Oregon Insurance Code.
(e)
The Trust created hereby shall be operated as a non-profit organization.

No Member shall be responsible for any claim or judgment against any other Member or
the Trust except to the extent of the assets of the loss fund, any insurance carried by the

fully and finally discharged or adequately provided for. Thirty (30) days prior to the
termination of the Trust, the Trustees shall notify each member of such termination.
10.
Withdrawal: Any participating member may withdraw from participation under the Trust,
provided that a withdrawal on any date other than a normal renewal date shall only be upon six (6)
month’s notice in writing to the trustees of such intention to withdraw. The withdrawing member
shall remain liable, however, until all earned premiums or those which are past due are fully paid.
There shall be no refund of premiums for an early withdrawal.
11.
Dispute Resolution Process:
(a)
Appeal to Board of Trustees: In the event of any dispute arising from the operation of the
Trust, the affected Member shall first appeal to the Trustees. In a matter relating to a
claim under a Coverage Document, the appeal must be made within 30 days of the trust’s
proposed resolution of the disputed claim unless otherwise provided in the Coverage
Document. To institute an appeal, the Member must give written notice to the Chair or
Vice-Chair of the Trust providing a written summary of the dispute, detailing in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances of the issues and the requested remedies. At the next
scheduled Trust meeting or at such other time as determined by the Chair, the Trustees will
review the matter, using procedures as promulgated by the Trust. The Trustees’s decision
will be communicated to the Member within 90 days of the Trustees’s hearing the appeal.
(b)
Mandatory Mediation: If a dispute is not resolved by appeal to the Trust, it must be
submitted to the Arbitration Services of Portland ("ASP"), or its successor, for mediation.
The Trust or any Member may commence mediation by providing ASP and the other
affected parties a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the dispute and
the relief requested. The Trust and each affected Member shall cooperate with ASP and
with one another in selecting a mediator from the ASP panel of neutrals and in scheduling
the mediation proceedings. They agree that they will participate in the mediation in good
faith and that they will share equally in the costs (the Trust will pay one half of the costs
PACE Restated Trust Agreement
02-29-16
Page 10 of 13
and the other half will be paid by the affected Member, or if more than one Member, each
shall contribute equally to that half or otherwise as they may agree). All of the offers,
promises and conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the
mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the
mediator or any ASP employees, are confidential and privileged and inadmissible for any
purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the
parties, providing that evidence that is otherwise admissible and discoverable will not be
rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation.
12.
(c)
Mandatory Arbitration: If the matter is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be
submitted to ASP, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration pursuant to the rules
for commercial arbitration for ASP. The Trust or a Member may initiate the arbitration
with respect to the matter submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration
at any time following the initial mediation session or at any time following 45 days from
the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first ("Earliest
Initiation Date"). The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the
parties agree. At no time prior to the Earliest Initiation Date will either side initiate an
arbitration or litigation related to this Agreement, except as provided by the rules of
commercial arbitration for ASP or by agreement of the parties. All applicable statutes of
limitations and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled until 15 days after
the Earliest Initiation Date. The parties will take such action, if any is required, to
effectuate such tolling. The dispute will be settled by a single arbitrator. The parties will
cooperate with ASP and with one another in selecting an arbitrator and in scheduling
arbitration proceedings. Arbitration will occur in Salem, Oregon unless the parties
otherwise agree. The parties will be entitled to conduct discovery in accordance with the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, subject to limitation by the arbitrator to secure the just
and efficient resolution of the dispute. If the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000, the
arbitrator's decision shall include a statement specifying in reasonable detail the basis for
and computation of the amount of the award, if any. In any arbitration arising out of or
related to this Agreement, the arbitrator may not award any incidental, indirect or
consequential damages, including damages for lost profits. The decision of the arbitrator
will be final and binding. The party prevailing in the arbitration will also be entitled to
recover any amount for his or her costs and attorney fees incurred in connection with the
arbitration as determined by the arbitrator. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction.
(d)
Coverage Document Dispute Resolution: The dispute resolution provision in any Coverage
Document shall apply for the matters to which such provisions are made applicable in the
Coverage Document, and shall supersede the dispute resolution provisions of this Section
11. If a Coverage Document is silent, or the dispute resolution contained within it do not
apply to a particular dispute, the dispute resolution provision of this Section 11 shall
apply.
Amendment: The OSBA Board of Directors reserves the right to alter, amend or terminate this
Trust and the terms under which it exists at any time by a memorandum in writing delivered to the
Trustees, provided any such change or termination shall not prejudice the rights of any participant
with respect to any accrued right or claim. In order to advise the OSBA Board of Directors on any
proposed material change to the provisions of this Trust Agreement, the Trustees shall prepare an
PACE Restated Trust Agreement
02-29-16
Page 11 of 13
impact statement to determine the financial impact, if any, on Trust operations and fiscal stability
of the proposed changes to the Trust Agreement. The Trustees will provide a thirty (30) day notice
to members by sending a written copy of the impact statement to the participating members. If any
member of the Trust, by virtue of this impact statement can clearly show that a change to the
provisions in this Trust Agreement will directly result in a significant financial detriment (e.g.
Deterioration of operating ratios or trust reserves) they may withdraw from the Trust with any
vested equity.
13.
Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is adjudicated to be invalid, unenforceable or
unconstitutional, the remainder of the provisions not subject to such adjudication shall not be
affected and shall continue in full force and effect.
14.
Joinders. Any joinder to this Agreement executed by a member will be deemed to be that
member’s assent to the entirety of this Agreement, as if such had executed an original of this
Agreement.
15.
Indemnification: Trustees, officers and agents of the Trust shall use ordinary care and diligence in
the exercise of their powers and in the performance of their duties. They shall not be liable for any
mistakes of judgment or other action made, taken or omitted by them in good faith, nor for any
action taken or omitted by any agent, employee or independent contractor selected with reasonable
care, nor for loss incurred through investment of funds or failure to invest. No Trustee shall be
liable for any action taken or omitted by any other Trustee. No Trustee shall be required to give a
bond or other security to guarantee the faithful performance of their duties hereunder. The Trust
shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify the individual Trustees, officers and agents of the Trust
from any and all demands, claims, suits, actions and legal proceedings brought against the Trustees
in their official capacity as agents of the Trust. The incident must have occurred while the Trustee,
officer or agent of the Trust, was acting within the scope of official duties. This indemnification
excludes criminal litigation and is limited to the amount of liability insurance coverage which is
within the authority of the Trust to provide under state law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, by action of the OSBA Board of Directors , this Trust Agreement is
approved and the OSBA Board of Directors by and through its authorized officers, has caused this
Agreement to be executed in its name and on its behalf as of this 12th day of March, 2016.

RE:
No. 31 – Board Approval of Alternative Education Programs
EXPLANATION:
On May 5, 2016, proposed alternative education programs were
presented to the board as a first reading. At that meeting, a
question was asked about Multnomah Education Service District’s
Burlingame Creek and why it was not listed. Burlingame Creek,
the building that formerly housed an alternative high school, is an
extension of Arata Creek. When the district refers a student with
severe behavioral challenges to Arata Creek, the Arata Creek staff
determine whether they will assign the student to the Arata Creek
campus or the Burlingame Creek campus. To address the
question and avoid confusion, the name Burlingame Creek has
been added to Arata Creek on the list of programs attached. The
program and the tuition cost for both campuses are the same.
Upon board approval, these alternative programs will be the
complete list of programs available for contract in the 2016-2017
school year.

Student Profile
Private, non-profit for students who've not typically been
successful in mainstream schools-often they've struggled
academically, behaviorally, and with attendance.
The majority of the clients have either been involved in the
juvenile justice system or have no appropriate home
resource with whom to live. Youth Progress clients are often
labeled as “difficult to treat” and have typically been rejected
from other placements due to behaviors or background.
Youth Progress specializes in working with these youth by
providing them with individualized opportunities to succeed.
