District Seeking Members for Facilities Committee (Umatilla) – The Umatilla School District is about to embark on planning for the future and is asking the community to join them. The district is forming a long-range Facilities Committee which will examine facilities across the district and develop a 10-year plan for what the district should focus on regarding future facility needs. The district has hired the Wenaha Group to guide them through the facility process. According to Heath Gardner, senior project engineer at Wenaha, the facilities committee will ideally consist of a cross-section of community members, including district staff, parents, business owners and others. “Joining the committee is a good way to be involved with the school district, give back to your community and have a say in your taxes,” Gardner said. The Facilities Committee will meet once a month for about six months. When the long-range plan is completed, the committee will make a recommendation to the Umatilla SD School Board about the possibility of going out for a bond. Anyone interested in joining the Facilities Committee should contact Superintendent Heidi Sipe by calling the District Office at 541-922-6500 or sipeh@umatillasd.org.

Umatilla School District intends to fully reopen schools to full-day, 4.5 day, in-person learning this fall. We maintain those expectations in light of the Oregon Department of Education announcement of the Resiliency Framework for the 2021-2022 school year. There are always many details to opening school in the fall, and this year those details will include things like COVID-19 safety measures. We continue to work on our plans and will release our updated plan after ODE's latest update (expected July 22nd). We will continue to partner with public health officials and plan to keep families updated plans are finalized.
