Hot Dogs and hamburg- ers will be served. Teachers will introduce themselves, and the Family Resource Fair will have booths around the track offering information and back to school swag. Students and families, school district staff and the community are all invited to the 2023 Back to School BBQ - See you there! as initiated last year by then-Gov. Kate Brown. Examples of two of the biggest issues under discussion: Safe wa- ter habitat for salmon; and clean and consistent drinking water for communities. The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs in particu- lar has contended with water shutoffs and boil notices for years. “The tribes have expressed frus- tration that when they have a mat- ter of urgency that they want to talk to the state about, they’re not sure which agency they need to go to,” said Doug Woodcock, acting director for the Oregon Water Re- sources Department. Later this year, the Tribal Water Task Force will explore forming a working group between tribes and agencies to improve communication. A paint crew has been working on a new coat of paint for the administration building.
