What Rogue River School District does

Rogue River School District (School District No. 35) is a public K-12 school district organized under Oregon state law, serving students from incoming kindergarten through 12th grade in the Rogue River area spanning Jackson and Josephine Counties. The district operates Rogue River Elementary School (K-6 across East and West campuses), Rogue River Jr./Sr. High School (7-12), South Valley Academy (3-12 alternative program), and the affiliated Rivers Edge Academy Charter, with the Early Learning & Wellness Center housing the La Clinica School-Based Health Center. Its core offering is free public education complemented by special education, English language development, talented and gifted programs, McKinney-Vento homeless education support, free meals for all students, student transportation via First Student, and integrated mental health and suicide prevention services.

The district runs a one-to-one Chromebook environment with Securly web filtering and a cloud-based infrastructure stack including Edupoint for student information, BoardOnTrack for governance, Nutrislice for food service menus, Tyler Portico for payroll, TalentEd Perform for HR, and Edgenuity/eDynamic Learning for online and credit-recovery coursework. Curriculum is aligned to Oregon State Standards using Amplify (ELA K-8), Houghton Mifflin (ELA 9-12), Big Ideas Learning (Math K-12), and National Geographic/Lab Aids (Science K-12). Operations are delivered across five physical facilities within the city of Rogue River.

The business model is non-commercial: funding flows from Oregon's State School Fund (weighted per-student formula under the Student Success Act), federal categorical grants (Title I, Title III, IDEA, Title IX, McKinney-Vento), and local property taxes including voter-approved bonds and local option levies. Supplementary revenue comes from competitive foundation grants (most recently $240,000 secured for the School-Based Health Center) and community fundraising. Governance rests with a five-member elected Board of Directors led by Chair Heather Friend, with Superintendent Dr. April L. Harrison taking over from retiring Superintendent Patrick Lee effective July 1, 2026.
