VI. CONSOLIDATION UPDATE AND ACTION
Recommended Motion(s):
I move that the board adopt the initial proposal, which includes the following:
Lincoln, Adams, Kathryn Jones Harrison, Garfield, Letitia Carson, and Bessie Coleman Elementary Schools become schools serving kindergarten through 6th grade.
Mt. View Elementary becomes a kindergarten through 8th-grade school.
Linus Pauling Middle School becomes a 7th through 8th-grade school and is renamed Corvallis Junior High, allowing students to develop a new mascot and school culture.
Cheldelin Middle School closes.
Cheldelin gyms continue to be accessed by teams and the community.
The school board will review the feasibility of the current high school model during the 2028-29 school year or when high school enrollment falls below 2,025 students. Prior to this review, the district will collaborate with students from all high schools to assess priorities for the high school experience in our district. This motion, made by Board Member #1 and seconded by Board Member #2, Passed.
Recommended Motion(s) #2:
I move that the board adopt the revised proposal, which includes the following:
Lincoln, Adams, Kathryn Jones Harrison, Garfield, and Bessie Colman Elementary Schools become schools serving kindergarten through 6th grade.
Mountain View Elementary becomes a kindergarten through 8th-grade school.
Linus Pauling Middle School becomes a 7th through 8th-grade school and is renamed Corvallis Junior High, allowing students to develop a new mascot and school culture.
Cheldelin Middle and Letitia Carson Elementary Schools close.
Students currently enrolled at Letitia Carson Elementary will be distributed as follows:
Students living in the Mountain View boundary who are attending Letitia Carson on a transfer, and those students living east of Highway 99W, will attend Mountain View K-8.
Students living in the Garfield boundary who are attending Letitia Carson on a transfer, or because they are unable to participate in the dual language immersion program, will attend Kathryn Jones Harrison.
Students living west of Highway 99W will attend Bessie Coleman.
Kathryn Jones Harrison will become Garfield's "sister school." This means that students who move into the Garfield boundary after 2nd grade and are unable to participate in the dual language immersion program will be placed at Kathryn Jones Harrison.
Cheldelin gyms continue to be accessed by teams and the community.
Wildcat Park continues to be accessed by the community for recreation.
The school board will review the feasibility of the current high school model during the 2028-29 school year or when high school enrollment falls below 2,025 students. Prior to this review, the district will collaborate with students from all high schools to assess priorities for the high school experience in our district.
The district is committed to engaging in community conversation with Letitia Carson's direct descendants, the Letitia Carson Legacy Project, the Oregon Black Pioneers, and the Linn-Benton NAACP on how to best honor her name through CSD buildings and programming. This motion, made by Board Member #1 and seconded by Board Member #2, Passed.
