Superintendent Tricia Mooney beings the conversation talking about how the start of school went and fifth-graders going to outdoor school. She then discusses enrollment and gives a progress report on jobs remaining to be done that fall under the bond project. Mooney then talks about the pandemic EBT cards and fall sports. Then she talks about concerns she has for the Oregon Legislature's 2024 short session, her take on Oregon's new Department of Education Director Charlene Williams, plus what changes she thinks ODE should make to improve K-12 education.
