Roseburg Superintendent Recommends Closing Fir Grove Elementary After 2026-27 School Year

Article by The Roseburg Receiver

Roseburg Schools Superintendent Jared Cordon is recommending that Fir Grove Elementary close at the end of the 2026-27 school year, a proposal that would move students to three nearby elementary schools and reduce the district’s elementary campuses from eight to seven.

The recommendation is outlined in “Aligning to Thrive,” a September 2026 report examining declining enrollment, school capacity, aging buildings, operating costs, and the potential effects of consolidation on students and employees.

The Roseburg School Board has not approved the closure. The board will review the recommendation, consider public input, and determine whether to proceed. The district’s goal is to reach a final decision before the end of 2026, giving families and staff the remainder of the school year to prepare if the proposal is approved.

Fir Grove would remain open throughout the current school year. Under the proposed attendance boundaries, students would begin attending Eastwood, Hucrest, or Fullerton IV elementary schools in fall 2027.

For families, the proposal would mean leaving an established school community and adjusting to new classrooms, staff, and routines. Cordon acknowledges those consequences in the report and says the recommendation is not a judgment about Fir Grove’s students, employees, or educational quality.

“Fir Grove is more than a building,” Cordon wrote. “It is a community built through generations of students, employees and families.”

The district says several factors led to the recommendation, including Fir Grove’s enrollment of fewer than 200 students, available space at nearby schools, transportation considerations, and anticipated building expenses.

According to the report, closing Fir Grove would require fewer students to change schools than other consolidation options examined. Proposed boundary adjustments would also limit the number of students outside the current Fir Grove attendance area who would need to move to another school.

The district’s analysis projects that, after the boundary changes, Eastwood would operate at approximately 91% of its functional capacity, Hucrest at 90%, and Fullerton IV at 77%. Functional capacity refers to the number of students a school can accommodate under its operating configuration.

The report says the proposed arrangement could accommodate students without additional transportation costs or long bus rides. Specific routes and transportation information would be developed during transition planning if the board approves consolidation.

The proposal comes as Roseburg Schools serves substantially fewer students than it did a decade ago.

District enrollment fell from 5,842 students in 2016-17 to 5,221 as of September 2026, a decrease of 621 students, or nearly 11%. Meanwhile, the district continues to operate essentially the same network of schools.

In 2025-26, its eight elementary schools served approximately 2,434 students against a combined functional capacity of about 3,295. That placed the elementary system at roughly 74% capacity, with space for approximately 860 additional students. Fir Grove is operating at about 54% capacity in 2026-27, according to the report.

Cordon also points to declining births and population forecasts projecting fewer young children in Douglas County over the coming decade. The report acknowledges that housing development, employment opportunities, and other community conditions could influence future enrollment, but says those possibilities must be weighed alongside existing demographic trends.

Beyond unused space, the district argues that smaller enrollment can make classroom organization more difficult. Some schools have only one teacher at certain grade levels, limiting options for balancing class sizes and collaboration among teachers working with the same grade. Small student groups can also lead to blended classrooms in which one teacher teaches two grade levels.

The district says consolidation could provide more flexibility in arranging classrooms and staffing. It does not guarantee a particular class size, and classroom assignments would be determined through the annual staffing process.

Facility costs are another major part of the recommendation.

State facility assessments identify approximately $47.7 million in anticipated needs across the district’s elementary schools over the next 10 years, including about $8.5 million at Fir Grove, which was originally constructed in 1960.

Those estimates cover deferred maintenance and projected repairs or replacement of existing building systems. They do not represent major modernization projects or improvements, and the district considers them a conservative planning baseline.

The report says Fir Grove has not received some of the extensive capital improvements completed at other schools, including a major seismic rehabilitation. Closing it as an elementary school would allow the district to evaluate other uses rather than continuing the investments required to operate it for that purpose.

Roseburg Schools’ most recent successful capital improvement bond was approved in 2000. Subsequent measures in 2020, 2022, and 2023 failed. Although the district reports investing more than $30 million in facility improvements since 2020-21 through grants and other resources, it says available funding has not kept pace with long-term needs.

Cordon estimates consolidation could reduce annual General Fund expenses by approximately $1.3 million, based on current staffing and anticipated employee transitions. The final amount would depend on staffing decisions.

The district cautions that those savings would not necessarily become additional money available for new spending. Declining enrollment and rising costs are expected to absorb much of the reduction, potentially limiting cuts that would otherwise be needed elsewhere.

Roseburg Schools already reduced its 2026-27 budget by approximately $4.5 million, including staffing cuts, in response to enrollment losses, reduced grant funding, inflation, and retirement costs.

The report also makes clear that consolidation could affect employees.

Staffing changes would follow collective bargaining agreements, applicable law, and district procedures, with vacancies, retirements, attrition, and employee assignment rights considered. However, the district anticipates that some reduction in force may be necessary to achieve the projected savings.

Where staffing needs and assignments allow, the district would seek opportunities for familiar employees to move with students to their receiving schools.

Two specialized programs at Fir Grove would also require planning.

The Profound Developmental Learning Center would move to another elementary school for 2027-28, with services continuing, according to the report. The Douglas Education Service District’s Complex Needs Classroom, which serves students from across Douglas County, would require coordination with Douglas ESD to identify an appropriate location that meets students’ educational and support needs.

If consolidation is approved, families would receive information about their assigned schools before the transition. Plans include opportunities to visit campuses, meet staff, and connect with receiving schools through ParentSquare before the current school year ends.

The district would also work with the Fir Grove community to determine how to recognize the school’s history.

No long-term use for the property has been selected. The district would continue maintaining and securing the campus while evaluating its future, including whether community access to outdoor recreation areas could be provided safely.

Community members can review the full report, proposed boundary maps, frequently asked questions, and an online question form on the district’s Aligning to Thrive webpage.

If the board rejects the recommendation, Fir Grove would remain open and the proposed boundary changes would not take effect. The district’s broader work on enrollment, finances, and facility needs would continue.


Adapt Recovery Mentor Max Croxton Helps Others Find Housing, Support and Hope

Article by The Roseburg Receiver

Adapt Integrated Health Care is highlighting the work of certified recovery mentor Max Croxton, sharing how his experience with recovery helps him connect people with housing, healthcare and addiction recovery services.

According to Adapt’s profile, Croxton’s own recovery journey shapes how he approaches his work. Decades of helping others navigate addiction and difficult circumstances have taught him that change can take time, and people may need support before they believe their lives can improve. He draws on those experiences to meet people where they are, help them navigate resources and remind them that their past does not have to determine their future.

Croxton, who has been in recovery since May 1995, has worked at Adapt for more than two years. He described peer support as an opportunity to use his own experiences to help others.

“I never thought there was a position like this,” Croxton said. “To have the opportunity to use my own experience to support other people and help them find their way forward is truly a gift.”

The profile recounts a March 2025 encounter in which Croxton and a coworker found a person wrapped in a blue tarp during heavy rain. According to Adapt, the individual was soaking wet and shaking uncontrollably.

When the person indicated they were deaf, Croxton used hand gestures to communicate. He and his coworker helped the individual into their vehicle to get warm, then connected them with dry clothing, a hot shower and a meal.

Croxton also helped with a housing application and advocated with a community partner for placement in a pallet shelter.

According to Adapt’s account, a collarbone injury had left the person unable to continue working. The loss of income led to the loss of housing, followed by temporary stays with family and a friend before the individual began living outside.

At the time the profile was shared, the person had been living in a group home for more than a year. Adapt reported that the individual had connected with Social Security support, primary care and mental health counseling, and had returned to recovery.

The person also underwent surgery for the collarbone injury. Croxton said the individual was recovering well and could now raise an arm overhead.

The two continue to communicate regularly by text, and the individual has been teaching Croxton some sign language.

Croxton recalled another person who arrived at Adapt without shoes, wet and cold. According to the profile, that individual later found housing, began supervising a kitchen and reconnected with a daughter after receiving help from Adapt and other community resources.

“A little bit of help and support and people's lives are just not the same,” Croxton said. “They improve, they get what they need, and they can have positive change in their lives.”

Croxton emphasized that the work involves multiple organizations and services, including housing providers, healthcare professionals and other community partners.

“Adapt is not doing it by themselves,” he said. “It really is a community built together that really helps support individuals become their best selves.”

He said his coworkers’ commitment to serving people continues to motivate him.

“The staff here genuinely cares about the people we serve,” Croxton said. “I have the privilege of working alongside people who share that same desire to support our communities.”

For Croxton, offering encouragement is also part of helping people move forward.

“I love that when sometimes people have no hope, they get to borrow some of my hope, until they can find their own,” he said.

Destination Downtown Roseburg Seeks Program Coordinator to Support Downtown Revitalization

Article by The Roseburg Receiver

ROSEBURG, Ore. - Destination Downtown Roseburg is seeking an independent contractor to help carry out downtown improvement projects, support local businesses, and build funding for the organization’s ongoing work.

Proposals for the program coordinator role are due by close of business Monday, Nov. 2, 2026. The anticipated start date is Dec. 1.

The nonprofit, known as DDR, is Roseburg’s Main Street organization. According to its request for proposals, the coordinator will help with daily operations, community meetings, fundraising, and relationships with downtown businesses and partner organizations.

In its announcement, DDR credited The Ford Family Foundation and the City of Roseburg with providing leadership funding and investment that made the opportunity possible.

What the Coordinator Will Do

Several responsibilities are tied to DDR’s funding agreement with the City of Roseburg. Those include working with the board on the 2027 flower basket program, supporting holiday lighting and decorations, assisting with a pole banner installation project, and promoting volunteer opportunities downtown.

The coordinator will also help eligible property and business owners pursue grants, promote downtown through communications and community engagement, and research ways to sustain funding for the organization.

Other required work includes helping coordinate monthly community update meetings and building relationships with local partner agencies.

Applicants can identify additional areas where their skills would be useful, such as supporting board and committee operations, researching and writing grants, or helping with downtown appearance projects. Possible design work includes signage, public art, graffiti removal, and cleanup activities.

DDR says candidates are not expected to take on every part of the Main Street program. Proposals should explain where applicants can contribute most effectively while addressing the required responsibilities.

Contract Terms and Qualifications

The contract covers fiscal year 2026-27, with possible renewal depending on performance and available funding. The selected contractor will report exclusively to DDR’s Board of Directors and is expected to maintain a regular, visible presence in downtown Roseburg.

The role is an independent contractor arrangement rather than employment with DDR or the city. Applicants must propose a fee structure and total cost. The RFP gives examples including a monthly retainer or an hourly rate with a maximum amount.

The contractor will be responsible for their own taxes, insurance, equipment, and business expenses unless a written agreement provides otherwise.

DDR is seeking experience in areas such as community or economic development, downtown revitalization, event coordination, or nonprofit administration. Other desired skills include communication, project organization, volunteer coordination, fundraising, and grant writing.

Familiarity with the Oregon Main Street Network is preferred but not required. Local knowledge or a connection to the Roseburg community is also among the desired qualifications.

How to Submit a Proposal

Proposals should be concise and include:

  • Contact information.
  • A statement of interest explaining the applicant’s understanding of downtown Roseburg’s needs.
  • Relevant experience and qualifications, including a résumé or company profile.
  • A proposed approach to the responsibilities.
  • A fee structure and total cost.
  • Anticipated availability and a proposed start date.
  • Up to two optional local references.

DDR will evaluate proposals based on experience, the proposed approach, fundraising and grant experience, cost, references, and availability. The organization may request interviews or negotiate terms before selecting a contractor.

Proposals must be emailed to hello@visitdowntownroseburg.com by close of business Nov. 2. Questions are due Oct. 19 and should be directed to Board President Sarah Everman at the same email address.

The full request for proposals provides the complete scope of work, evaluation criteria, and contract conditions.

DFPA Reminds Hunters Fire Restrictions Remain in Effect as Fall Season Begins

Article by The Roseburg Receiver

Hunters heading into the woods this fall are being reminded that fire season is still in effect across the Douglas District, where dry grass, brush and other vegetation can ignite from a single spark.

The Douglas Forest Protective Association is urging hunters to check fire restrictions before leaving home, choose safe locations for target practice and carry the required firefighting equipment. Campfires remain prohibited except at designated sites.

Take Precautions When Sighting In Rifles

For hunters preparing their rifles for the season, DFPA warns that a day of target practice can lead to a wildfire if sparks or hot fragments reach dry vegetation.

Tracer ammunition and exploding targets are prohibited during fire season. Metal-jacketed ammunition, ammunition with metal cores and incendiary ammunition can also cause wildfires under the right conditions, according to the association.

Regardless of the ammunition used, shooters should select a backstop completely free of dry grass, brush and other flammable materials. The area around the target should also be checked for vegetation or other materials that could ignite.

DFPA encourages hunters to consider both their shooting location and current fire conditions before practicing.

What Restrictions Apply?

DFPA’s Public Use Restrictions apply to lands protected by the association and all forestland within one-eighth mile of those lands.

The restrictions outlined in the release include:

  • Campfires and open fires: Campfires, cooking fires and warming fires are prohibited except at designated sites.
  • Portable cooking appliances: Stoves using liquefied or bottled fuels are allowed in clear areas free of flammable vegetation. Users must have one shovel and one gallon of water, or an ABC fire extinguisher weighing at least 2.5 pounds.
  • Motor vehicles: Vehicles, motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles are restricted to improved roads free of flammable vegetation, except when used to cultivate or harvest agricultural crops.
  • Required vehicle equipment: Passenger vehicles traveling on forestlands must carry an axe, a shovel and either one gallon of water or an ABC fire extinguisher weighing at least 2.5 pounds. That requirement does not apply when traveling on state highways, county roads or driveways. ATVs must carry an ABC fire extinguisher weighing at least 2.5 pounds.
  • Smoking: Smoking is prohibited in wildland areas except inside vehicles or at designated locations.
  • Other prohibited activities: Fireworks, exploding targets, tracer ammunition and sky lanterns are prohibited.

Check Access Before Heading Out

Fire restrictions can vary depending on where hunters plan to go. Private landowners and public land management agencies may have additional rules or closures beyond DFPA’s restrictions.

Hunters should check with the landowner or managing agency before entering an area, even if they have hunted there before.

Information on hunting during fire season is available through the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Hunters can also check private forestland closures through the Oregon Forest Industries Council.

Current Public Use Restrictions for the Douglas District are available at dfpa.net.


Prescribed Burns Planned in Diamond Lake and Tiller Ranger Districts

Article by The Roseburg Receiver

Prescribed burning could begin as soon as Friday, Oct. 2, in parts of the Umpqua National Forest, with work planned in the Diamond Lake and Tiller ranger districts through Oct. 19 as conditions allow.

The Forest Service announced the plans Wednesday. Certified prescribed fire specialists will conduct the burns to reduce excess vegetation and wildfire risk, improve wildlife habitat, and restore ecosystems adapted to fire.

In the Diamond Lake Ranger District, underburning is planned at two Cold Spring project locations:

  • Cold Spring Units 32/33: Along National Forest Service Road 3401-200 in Upper Thorn Prairie.
  • Cold Spring Unit 121: Along National Forest Service Road 3401-600 in Thorn Prairie.

No closures are planned for the Diamond Lake burns, but visitors should watch for firefighters working in the area.

In the Tiller Ranger District, crews plan to underburn Unit 710 at Long Prairie, along National Forest Service Road 3201-300, west of Threehorn Campground.

A closure around the Long Prairie burn will restrict access for public and firefighter safety. The Forest Service listed closure points at the following road junctions:

  • NFSR 32-300.
  • NFSR 600-620.
  • NFSR 300-330 at Diamond Rock.
  • NFSR 1616-205.

Smoke may be visible during the work. The Forest Service said it will coordinate with air quality specialists, monitor smoke, and time the burns to limit smoke impacts. Drivers who encounter smoke on roads should slow down and turn on their headlights. Current air quality information is available at AirNow.gov.

Firefighters will remain on scene during ignitions and patrol afterward. The Forest Service asks people not to report the announced prescribed burns as wildfires.

The schedule remains tentative. Crews will evaluate conditions in the days and hours before each ignition, and burns may be postponed or canceled if conditions are unfavorable.

Maps of the planned burn areas and Long Prairie access restrictions are linked in the Forest Service announcement. Updates will be posted on the Umpqua National Forest website and Facebook page. For more information, call 541-440-4930.


Health Advisory Issued for Sunset Bay Beach Over Unsafe Bacteria Levels

Article by The Roseburg Receiver

The Oregon Health Authority issued a public health advisory Wednesday, Sept. 30, after unsafe levels of fecal bacteria were found in ocean waters at Sunset Bay State Park Beach in Coos County.

Visitors should avoid direct contact with the water until the advisory is lifted. That includes wading in nearby creeks, standing pools on the beach, and discolored water. OHA also advises staying clear of runoff flowing into the ocean, where bacteria levels can be higher.

Exposure to contaminated water can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections, and other illnesses. Children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable to illness from waterborne bacteria.

Fecal bacteria can reach ocean waters through stormwater runoff, sewer overflows, failing septic systems, and waste from livestock, pets, and wildlife. The release did not identify a specific source of the elevated bacteria at Sunset Bay.

Health officials recommend avoiding ocean swimming for 48 hours after a rainstorm, even when no advisory is in effect.

The advisory concerns water contact. Visitors can still walk along the beach, fly kites, picnic, and enjoy other activities that keep them out of the affected water, according to OHA.

Ocean waters will be tested again, and OHA will notify the public when bacteria levels are safe and the advisory is lifted.

For current advisory information, visit the Oregon Beach Monitoring Program website or call 971-673-0482 or toll-free at 877-290-6767.
