DATE: August 31, 2010
ACTION
Adopt resolution 10-57 regarding City oversight of the Lake Oswego School District's use of net proceeds
from the Grow and Gather Dinner for sustainability education.
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND
On August 28, 2010 Lake Oswego celebrated its centennial with the Grow and Gather dinner at Luscher
Farm. Net proceeds from the Centennial Grow and Gather dinner have been designated for contribution to
the Lake Oswego School District to enhance and integrate sustainability into the classroom based on a
recommendation from the City of Lake Oswego Sustainability Advisory Board (SAB).The SAB has
recommended that the City ask the District provide a proposal for how it intends to use the funds once the
amount has been established and prior to distribution of the funds to the District. The SAB has also
recommended that the City request from the District a brief report on the accomplishments made as a result
of the funds, including a budget summary.
DISCUSSION
The SAB would like to assist the District by reviewing their proposal and providing input to most effectively
and efficiently use the funds to integrate sustainability education into the classroom. This may mean
building on a successful District program or providing continuing education for teachers in the field of
sustainability, among other options. The SAB has also suggested the District provide a final report to the
City on how the funds were used to better understand the effectiveness of the strategy selected. The
estimated amount of funds raised from the Grow and Gather dinner will be known after receipt of all
invoices, likely during the week of September 6th
