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

record; Jim’s Market as bulletin

ty’s quality of life while re
sponding to phenomenal popu
lation growth and increasing
demand for County services.
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
