Votes at a glance: North Bend SD 13 board approves agenda changes, student athletics request and postpones social studies adoption

The North Bend SD 13 Board of Directors took several formal actions at its March 5 meeting; all recorded motions passed by voice vote with no board opposition.

- Agenda approval: The board approved the meeting agenda after the chair noted two changes (a nurse's resignation date moved to April 3 and addition of an item about ReedSPORTs/softball), following a motion and second. The chair recorded the motion as carried by voice vote.

- ReedSPORTs softball request (Item 6A): The board approved a staff recommendation to allow a student enrolled in Reedsport School District to participate in the North Bend High School softball program for the 2026 season, consistent with Oregon School Activities Association rules requiring approval by both districts. A board member moved the request, it was seconded, and the board voted in favor by voice vote.

- Classified Employee Appreciation resolution: The board approved a resolution proclaiming March 2–6, 2026 as Classified Employee Appreciation Week and encouraged community observance; motion moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

- Social studies adoption postponement: The board approved a one-year postponement of the K–12 social studies curriculum adoption to allow sequencing after health and science adoptions; the motion carried by voice vote.

Vote tallies: The meeting transcript records unanimous voice votes for these motions (recorded as all in favor). The transcript repeatedly records "motion carries 7-0" or equivalent voice confirmations during roll calls.

Notes: Where specific mover/second names were not recorded in the meeting transcript, the minutes show motions were made and seconded and approved by unanimous voice vote. The district will bring the health-curriculum adoption back to the board in May and will advertise a public preview of materials in April.
