McClung, DDS The First Presbyterian Church of Cottage Grove has made a $500 donation to the Welcome Baby Box Project captained by the 90by30 Project. The donation was issued from the Deacon fund, adding to the church’s previous $200 donation. The project has also been awarded a $1,500 grant from the Bisbee Foundation which seeks to provide fi nancial support for local programs and projects that aim to strengthen communities. 90by30 launched the baby box program in late 2017 as a way to provide basic newborn essential to families in need. The project falls under the organization’s guiding mission to reduce child abuse by 90 percent by the year 2030.

Maddess, DMD SLSD Chad (Hamilton) sitting there, Garrett (Bridgens) not sitting there and Kyle (Tucker) sitting here and everybody else in the district that has been present and has lived through what’s going on so that superintendent is not sitting with us tonight but all the rest of the district is sitting with us.” Settelmeyer went on to clarify that he supported staff but felt the board had “healing” to do in the district. The word ‘healing’ was men- tioned eight times in the fi rst 30 minutes of the meeting Monday night with Kelley informing the board it could include a desire for candidates to take the need into account when searching for a new superintendent. In two separate timelines, Kelley presented search options to the board. One option would allow the board to search inter- nally before reaching out to ex- ternal candidates while the oth- er option focused on garnering candidates from both inside and outside the district in one pro- cess. Both the board and Kelley expressed the complications of navigating the process without offending current acting super- intendent Tucker as well as the importance of involving the dis- Dr. Bitner D.D.S., P.C. trict staff. In a timeline the board de- scribed as “aggressive,” qualifi - cations and qualities for candi- dates would be approved at the board’s March 5 meeting with input from district staff and community members. Reviews of applicants and interviews would take place during exec- utive sessions and, because the board has three budget meetings scheduled in May, a fi nal deci- sion on an interim superinten- dent would be made by the end of April or beginning of May. Settelmeyer made three sep- arate motions to search for an interim superintendent with as- sistance from OSBA at an ap- proximate hourly rate of $120, initiate a search for a permanent superintendent and re-affi rm Tucker as acting superintendent. The district has to complete a Request for Proposal to obtain a fi rm to conduct the permanent superintendent search. For the service, OSBA charged $8,750. While Oregon law defi nes the work session as a public meeting, the board did not take notes for the fi rst 58 minutes of the meeting. When asked by Settelmeyer if the board needed to take minutes, Kelley affi rmed that it did under public meetings law.
