Pause
in the past 10 days, other
counties in the state have re-
ported troubling increases in
infection spread.
Across the state, the Ore-
gon Health Authority (OHA)
reported nearly 100 new cas-
es in a 24-hour period, with
184 cases reported Monday
before jumping to 278 con-
fi rmed cases of COVID-19
by noon Tuesday — marking
the largest single-day spike
in confi rmed cases since the
beginning of the pandemic’s
spread in Oregon.

SLSD
$600,000 for the high school
success fund which covers
things like dropout preven-
tion and career and techni-
of which show increases —
some as high as 40 percent
— over the previous week.
Lane County currently
allows outdoor recreation,
retail stores, gyms, bars and
restaurants for dine-in ser-
vices, and personal-care
businesses such as salons
and barbershops with the
following limitations:
• Gathering limits of 50
people indoors and 100 peo-
ple outdoors.
• Indoor and outdoor
venues, including theaters
and churches, with 6 feet
of physical distancing and
other measures in place, can
reach a COVID-19 occupan-
cy limit of up to 250.
• Offi ces can begin re-
opening and employees can
return to workplaces with
physical distancing and oth-
er measures in place, though
remote work is still strongly
recommended
whenever
possible.
• Increased travel is al-
lowed throughout Oregon,
though staying local is still
recommended to prevent
overloading county health
systems.
• Restaurant and bar cur-
fews are extended to mid-
night where applicable.
• Many pools and sports
courts are allowed to reopen
under new guidance.
• Indoor and outdoor
activities such as bowling,
batting cages and mini golf
are allowed to reopen under
new guidance.
• Recreational sports can
resume in a limited form,
under strict physical dis-
tancing guidance.

• A 40 percent reduction
in expected funds from the
Student Investment Ac-
count, from just over $2.4
million to $1.5 million.
• An increase of $285,000
in the Capital Projects Fund
which is working to connect
all district schools to fiber
optic internet (recently com-
pleted at London and Dore-
na, but ongoing at Al Kenne-
dy High School).
• An initial COVID-19
response grant of $30,000
from PeaceHealth Medical
Group and a letter of intent
for a contract from Peace-
Health with SLSD to pro-
vide $345,000 over the next
four years to enhance daily
operations at the Family Re-
source Center.
The funds will primari-
ly allow the center to have
staffing for more hours five
days per week, as opposed to
the current part-time staff-
ing two days per week.
The budget committee
ratified the changes without
public comment and though
the changes represent a net
reduction in instructional
budget of $668,600, Colley
still views the changes as
positive.
“Really, I think they’re
all positive,” Colley said in
the meeting. “Because even
though we approved the
budget for the school im-
provement act money at $2.4
million, we weren’t sure we
were going to get any of that.
So, a 40-percent reduction
from a big number, assum-
ing we still get the legislature
to appropriate the full gener-
al fund, those are all positive
things.”
New district Director of
Finance and Operations Al-
lison Bryson also weighed in
on the district’s ongoing ef-
forts to have staff, adminis-
trators, committees and the
board work in conjunction
with as much shared infor-
mation as possible in order
to take on the challenges
that COVID-19 continues to
present.
“I think that it’s really im-
portant that [the board] gets
detail and input into the pro-
cess along the way,” Bryson
said.
“There’s a lot that can be
done as we look forward
to strategic planning and
aligning the budget with
the strategic plan, if it’s not
already done that way … I
think that’s something we
can do starting next Octo-
ber. We’ll have more infor-
mation about COVID, more
information about what that
means for the budget, so we
can adjust that along the
way.”
While Monday’s meeting
was the last time the SLSD
board will officially meet for
this school year, their work
will continue into the sum-
mer as schools across the
country prepare for a 2020-
21 school landscape that
could look very different
from what students, families
and staff normally expect.
The effects and challenges
presented by virus concerns
are near limitless, with the
looming fear that any and all
guidance from the Oregon
Department of Education
could change at the drop of
a hat if and when new infor-
mation emerges.
But the SLSD board, along
with Superintendent Yvonne
Curtis, will be working
through these difficulties
throughout the summer —
particularly in regard to how
the district handles day-to-
day instruction.
“The timeline is set by
the virus, not by the rest of
us,” Curtis said. “We have
to respond to individual
needs and requests of fam-
ilies. Some families might
not want their students to
come back when we can be
face-to-face. And after all
that planning, we also have
to make sure we can pivot
in a matter of hours to ev-
erybody being at home on
distance learning.
“And the distance learn-
ing cannot be ‘hold them
in place.’ It has to still be
moving [students] forward,
which is not the kind of dis-
tance learning we just went
through in the spring.”

‘yellow light.’ It is time to
press ‘pause’ for one week
before any further reopen-
ing,” Brown said.
According to the gover-
nor, this one-week pause will
give public health offi cials
time to assess what factors
are driving the spread of the
virus and determine if they
need to adjust the state’s ap-
proach to reopening.
“I will work with doctors
and public health experts
to determine whether to lift
this pause, extend it or make
other adjustments,” Brown
stated.

Gov. Kate Brown held

of the reopening process,
which has most counties in
the midst of implementing
Phase II Reopening proto-

“Th e noticeable increase
