Main St. Banks, Oregon that brings the district into com pliance with state and federal law. The policy was adopted without discussion, following a yearlong staff study, to update the previous policy. A modified diploma is available to students who cannot undertake a regu lar curriculum. It requires the same number of credit hours as a standard diploma, but allows a modified curriculum and em phasizes gaining the skills nec essary for adult life. The board also decided to uphold previous superintendent Marilyn McGlasson’s decision to deny an inter-district transfer to a student who would be en tering tenth grade this fall. After some discussion, the board unanimously decided that there was no compelling reason to override the superintendent. The family had appealed the decision in June. Superintendent Ott reported that he, Moore and Duyck had attended an Oregon School Board Association conference in Wilsonville and gained new insights into running a school board and the ethical decisions involved. He also discussed se lecting a date as soon as possi ble for a goal setting session that will be conducted by the OSBA. As part of the superin tendent search, the OSBA pro vides a 3 hour session for the new superintendent and board members to set district goals for the coming years. Pending availability, the session will oc cur in August. All of the board members ex tended a welcome to Ott. Lund sten also commended Duyck, Moore and Ott for attending the OSBA workshop and stated that all board members should take advantage of such oppor tunities. Duyck agreed that it had been time well spent and that she had gathered informa tion and ideas that she planned to incorporate into her service. The consent agenda was approved, designating the News Times as newspaper of record; Jim’s Market as bulletin board; Nancy Hungerford/John Peterson as the district’s attor neys, Waltz, Sheridan & Craw ford as insurance agent of record; US Bank, West Coast Bank and Local Government Investment Pool as depository of funds; Jones & Roth as dis trict auditors; and Herb Drew Associates as insurance bene fits agent of record.

Rapid growth led to an ac celerated demand for County services at a level that would be more typically provided by established cities - not a “tradi tional” county government. At the same time, due to limits placed on county funding sources, it was evident that re sources to meet the increased demand would be limited. In 1986 the Board adopted the County 2000 Plan. The original Plan identified the County’s fundamental ap proaches to its service delivery roles, principles and priorities, and was designed to be a blue print for the development and implementation of policies, pro grams, and operations. The Plan was updated in 1990 and 1993 to refine the original doc ument based on emerging is sues and service priorities. The Board of Commission ers has now begun the process of updating the County 2000 Strategic Plan with the draft of County 2010. Citizen comments about the 2010 Strategic Plan should be made as soon as possible. It is anticipated that the update will be presented to the Board of Commissioners later this sum mer. Public testimony before the Board will be welcomed. Com ments may also be delivered by mail: Washington County Administrative Office, 155 N.
