Oregon School District board approves $1.48 million in payments, accepts resignations and staffing changes
The Oregon School District Board on May 13 approved payments totaling $1,479,675.08 and accepted personnel changes covering retirements, resignations and new staffing assignments.

The consent calendar, moved by Ms. Wright and seconded by Ahna Bizjak, included approval of the April 22 regular and executive session minutes; the Treasurer’s Report through April 30; payments of $1,479,675.08; a list of staff resignations and retirements effective June 10, 2024; multiple staffing assignments and acceptance of donations and new scholarships. The roll-call vote carried 6-0.

Resignations and retirement listed on the consent calendar included Heidi Davies (retirement, 1.0 FTE English teacher at OHS), Jeff Dyer (1.0 FTE German teacher at OHS), Asa Muira (1.0 FTE school counselor at OMS), Michelle Porter (1.0 FTE AOSIA teacher at OHS), Mark Bennett (1.0 FTE 4th grade teacher at BKE), Megan Miller (1.0 FTE Health/PE teacher at OMS), Brock Wanninger (1.0 FTE special education teacher at RCI), and Peter Kritsch (1.0 FTE science teacher at OHS), all with effective dates of June 10, 2024.

The staffing assignments approved included hires and contract changes across grade levels and buildings, such as Amanda Shipley (FES 5th grade), Jackson Richter (OHS social studies), Heidi Walter (OMS principal), and several classroom and specialist positions across the district.

Donations accepted ranged from a $3,500 contribution from the Oregon Area Food Pantry to support balanced food service for students who applied but did not qualify for free or reduced lunch, to multiple Culver’s donations totaling more than $2,900 for student activities, a $1,000 Monarch Joint Venture grant for a first-grade pollinator project, and smaller gifts supporting extracurricular programs. The board also approved establishment of new scholarships, including the Doris Keyes Memorial Scholarship and OHS Trades Scholarships.

Board President Krista Flanagan thanked donors and congratulated Heidi Davies on her upcoming retirement.

The board’s action affects district payroll and staffing plans for the 2024–25 school year and authorizes budgeted expenditures reflected in the payments approved.
