Corvallis Public Schools

What Corvallis Public Schools does

Corvallis Public Schools (legally Corvallis School District, also known as School District 509J) is a publicly governed K-12 public school district operating under the Oregon Department of Education and serving the city of Corvallis, Benton County, and parts of the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The district enrolls approximately 5,748 students across 10 schools, including six elementary schools, a K-8 non-boundary school (Franklin), a boundary K-8 (Mt. View), one junior high (Corvallis Junior High), two high schools (Corvallis High and Crescent Valley High), alternative programs (College Hill, Bridges K-12, Post Graduate Scholars, WINGS), and Muddy Creek K-5 Charter School. The district is staffed by 917 employees and serves a linguistically diverse student body speaking 85 languages. Core academic programs are augmented by a Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program in Spanish-English that has operated since 2001 and spans K-12 across four schools, producing graduates with the Oregon Seal of Biliteracy, plus English Language Development, Special Education under IDEA compliance, Career and Technical Education, and a Mental Health Program added in 2019.

The district's technology platform is built on standard K-12 infrastructure: Synergy (Edupoint) serves as the Student Information System with ParentVUE portal access for parents; Canvas is the Learning Management System for secondary students; ClassLink provides single sign-on across applications using Google Workspace for Education accounts; and My Ride K-12 provides GPS-based real-time bus tracking. Operational systems include Frontline for HR/absence management, LINQ Connect for meal account management, ParentSquare for family communications, and Parchment for transcript requests. The district does not expose any public or partner-facing APIs.

Funding flows primarily from local property taxes, state education funding from the Oregon Department of Education, and federal grants, with an FY 25-26 combined budget of $182.6 million. The district is governed by an elected school board and led by Superintendent Dr. Ryan Noss (since July 1, 2016) and Assistant Superintendent Melissa Harder (since July 1, 2019). In 2018, voters approved a $200 million facilities bond — the largest in district history — funding two new schools and improvements to twelve existing facilities. Major community partnerships include Oregon State University, Linn-Benton Community College (Post Graduate Scholars Program), and the Corvallis Public Schools Foundation; transportation services are outsourced to Student Transportation of America (STA). Enrollment is governed by residential boundary assignment, with intra-district transfers, non-resident transfers, and charter options available through designated windows.
