Description: 
Mission Statement   “Graduating all students to be college and career ready; challenging, inspiring, and empowering them to be healthy and productive citizens.”        

Vision Statement   “North Wasco is a premier school district.  We provide students a rigorous and relevant education with schools performing academically in the top 5% of the nation.  Our students are inspired by a talented, innovative, and highly effective staff that values continuous professional growth. Our district graduates citizens who are ethical and motivated to achieve their limitless potential.  North Wasco is fully embraced by the community, reflecting its health and well being.” 

Description:  Speakers may offer objective criticism of district operations and programs but the board will not hear complaints concerning specific district personnel.  The chair will direct the visitor to the appropriate means for board consideration and disposition of legitimate complaints involving individuals.

Description:  District staff have requested to remove language regarding storing records on computers.

Description:  The 2016 Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 4002 which addresses a trauma informed approach to serving students and families in the district. In response to many districts moving to this approach, and in collaboration with the office of Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction for the Oregon Department of Education (ODE).

Description:  Senate Bill 481 passed by the 2017 Legislature established time frames for public bodies to respond to a public records request.  Districts must acknowledge or complete the public records request within five business days.  The district acknowledgment of a public records request must confirm that the district is, is not, or is uncertain it is the custodian of the requested public records.  If the public body first acknowledges the receipt of the request for public records - without completing it - the SB also imposes a time frame for the completing the request.  In addition, SB 481 defined 'business day' in regard to responding to a public records request.  The SB makes this new Act applicable to public records requests received by the district on or after January 1, 2018.  House Bill 3464 (2017) added legislation that a "public body" shall not "..., in accordance with state law, disclose personal information for the purpose of enforcement of federal immigration laws".

Description:  OSBA recognizes that there is more than one policy with the code JFCG which addresses student use of tobacco products and inhalant delivery systems.  To minimize confusion, OSBA has removed JFCG from the policy code and all language related to student use, possession, etc.  The required language to prohibit student use or possession of tobacco projects and inhalant delivery systems remain in policy JFGC/JFCH/JFCI - Use of Tobacco Products, Alcohol Drugs and Inhalant Delivery systems, with no recommended additional changes.

Description:  The revisions in this policy reflect clarifications to the updated language issued in the September 2017 Policy Update and do not reflect changes in requirements.

Description:  As a result of several court cases, OSBA's legal staff recommends that members no longer allow any public comment - not just prohibiting complaints - concerning staff.   By prohibiting only criticism, it could be seen as 'viewpoint discrimination' which is protected under the First Amendment.
