The committee also voted 4-1 to add three strategic positions: an adjustment counselor at Mosier, a middle-school literacy specialist, and a middle-school dean of students. District leaders said the $300,000 appropriation was intended to strengthen student services, retain students, reduce out-of-district enrollment, and generate additional revenue rather than fund general educator raises. The committee unanimously approved updates to the Mosier student handbook and accepted a $210 school fundraiser donation.
