As stewards of our community’s schools, the Oregon Trail School District Board of Directors understands the importance of maintaining the community’s investment in our facilities and campuses. That stewardship includes ongoing facility assessments to help forecast future needs and provide quality learning spaces for students.
With funding from the Oregon Department of Education’s Technical Assistance Program, the district hired Soderstrom Architects to assess the maintenance needs of schools and campuses across the district. The assessment results were discussed with board members at a workshop on February 22.
As a next step in this process, the district will engage with parents, school staff, and community members to review the identified facility needs and to discuss education adequacy, student safety, school capacity, and anticipated impacts of enrollment.

The Oregon Trail Community has a history of supporting its local schools. 22 years ago, in 2002, voters approved a $1.95M bond to help mitigate the deterioration of school facility systems district-wide.
Issues addressed with the bond funds included roof repairs, fire alarm system upgrades, exterior dry rot replacement, electrical system upgrades and more.
Projects were ranked for health and safety considerations and were monitored by a citizens’ oversight committee.
