Capital Bond Program Management Team

The Operations Department deals with nuts-and-bolts, and bricks-and-mortar; things that work, and things that are broken; and while we tend to be somewhat conservative and can fix stuff with baling wire and duct tape, we also know that constructing it right the first time pays off over the long haul.

As we continue to provide the best facilities for educating our community's children, we will take advantage of the capital bond to build quality buildings, eliminate deferred maintenance and provide professional tools and equipment that will help us do more with less; and remain balanced in our response to the boom and bust of the economy.

Operations

The Operations Department approaches the daily challenges of making it go zoom with a positive attitude; informed by unlimited possibilities and balanced with responsible stewardship.

As happened in the spring of 2003, our district is in a unique position having passed a capital bond while contemplating shrinking general fund allocations. The Operations Department deals with nuts-and-bolds, and bricks-and-mortar; things that work, and things that are broken; and while we tend to be somewhat conservative and can fix stuff with baling wire and duct tape, we also know that constructing it right the first time pays off over the long haul.

As we continue to provide the best facilities for educating our community and the children in it, we will take advantage of the capital bond to build quality buildings, eliminate deferred maintenance and provide professional tools and equipment that will help us do more with less; and remain balanced in our response to the boom and bust of the economy.

Long Range Planning Committee

The Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) has been very focused on the needs of a growing school district. Enrollment over the past 10 years has increased 92% and we are out of classroom space at the primary level as evidenced by portables at Boones Ferry, Stafford and Willamette; and Boeckman Creek.

In response, the LRPC gathered data and engaged district patrons and staff to prepare a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to address growth, equity, safety & security, health & wellness, deferred maintenance, technology, energy conservation and community athletics. This effort culminated in a Imagineering Summit held at West Linn High School in February with attendance by more that 120 district patrons. The results of the summit provided valuable feed-back and a very positive outlook for the future of the district.

In November, the community passed the 2008 Capital Bond Program and the Long Range Planning Committee members are engaged as stewards of this important work. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email any of the members of this committee.

One is a West Linn High School graduate. The other is a senior at WLHS.
“From an academic standpoint, education is important to train minds to think (analyze rather than react), to stimulate and enhance ideas and to become highly functioning and productive members of society,” he said. “The rest of the district’s story includes our focus on educating the whole child in terms of participating in activities, developing socialization skills and imparting healthy values.
“I want to focus and refine the education process in order to push our district to the next level in educating all our students to attain their highest aspirations.”
The most exciting parts of his job are the people, he said. “Students, parents, community members, teachers and administrators are awesome to work and interact with,” he said. “The people are what make this job exciting. It is a real pleasure to be part of a community where virtually everyone places education as a priority.”
