SIUSLAW from page 1A Wednesday’s agenda was slight, “being that it’s summer- time and things are pretty qui- et,” Barnett said. One of the only new orders of business came from Kari Blake, the district’s Director of Finance and Operations, who introduced an Intergovern- mental Agreement between Siuslaw School District, the DMV and other local school districts regarding licensing for school bus drivers. “For many years, DMV has executed a formal written in- teragency agreement that au- thorizes Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to operate as a ‘Third Party Commercial Driver Licensing (CDL) Skills Testing Entity,’” the agreement read. “In 2018, there were two significant and high-pro- file driver testing incidents, prompting the DMV to take a closer look at the inter-agency testing agreement. ODE does not employ the skills test ex- aminers who administer the tests to drivers, but rather, bus companies and school districts employ the examiners who ac- tually administer the tests. No formal written subcontracts were ever established and no verification that insurance and surety bond requirements were being met.” Blake explained, “Basically, what this is saying is that in the past, ODE and DMV had an agreement directly. They over- saw the program, but not nec- essarily making sure that all of the people that were testing had the proper insurance. So they changed that now so you have to contract directly with the DMV if we want DMV to do our testing. It pushes the timeline to get drivers in the driver seats. School districts are supposed to enter into third party testing agreements with other school services in order to provide testing to those entities. The districts that have reached out to us are Coquille School District, Ma- pleton School district, Myr- tle Point School District, and Lewis Transportation. By en- tering into these agreements, it helps these school districts get drivers in their seats fast- er because they’re not having to do appointments with the DMV.” The board passed the IGA “We assign every teen a job. That’s a requirement,” Trent said. “You don’t get to come here unless you’re willing to help.” In the past, teens were assigned chores with a reward system of club bucks to spend at the club store. Now, every teen has an assignment, which helps the Teen Center with activity clean up, equipment management, dish cleaning and more. “A lot of the kids will start with their first job in fast food,” Trent said. “Knowing how to prep, understanding the standards around food tempera- ture, how to handle food, hygiene and all that kind of stuff helps them pre- pare for that.” Teen Center staff member Kara said, “We decided to give them actual jobs to help with their future. Some of them are almost old enough for jobs, so this will be the first thing on their résumé.” “Once these kids get out of high school, all of this lines up so that they have experience and knowledge that helps them be prepared to find a job that will pay livable wages and be able to keep that job,” Trent said. The teens still get to use their earn- ings in the club store, which Trent said helps them manage their money, save and make informed decisions. Siuslaw News + See TEENS page 8A unanimously. In closing statements from the board, Sneddon and King complimented the newly re- surfaced track, with Sneddon commenting, “I think we need to remember how many stu- dents touch the track, middle school and high school stu- dents. There’s a lot of students who use that facility.” The track was financed pri- marily by an estate bequest of $165,653 from an anonymous benefactor, who will be named and honored during Siuslaw’s first home football game on Sept. 20. Regarding the football program, Barnett said, “I’ve had the privilege of watching some of our high school foot- ball staff and watching that work and watching the cohe- sion that we’re seeing with the team and staff and it’s pretty exciting to see. I had a chance to talk with our head coach (Sam Johnson), and he’s very motivated. It’s uplifting.” After the meeting, the board held three executive sessions to “consider the dis- missal or discipling of, or to hear complaints or charges brought against, a public of- ficer, employee, staff member or agent.” The specifics of the meeting were not discussed in regular session, though it was an- nounced that there would be a hearing held on the matter during the Aug. 14 school board meeting. It was not specified if the hearing would be held in public or in an ad- ditional executive session. DENTURE SERVICES INC.
