Letter from Oregon Education Association re: Workplace Survey at BSD
Context: BSD Staff received a Google survey the week of November 10th from the Bandon School Board central email regarding workplace culture. The survey content, potential lack of anonymity, and lack of transparency about how the survey will be used raised multiple concerns. The BEA (the teachers union) has made multiple requests for dialogue and submitted a vote of no confidence in the Superintendent, all of which have gone unanswered by the board. OEA representative Chico Robinson issued this letter in response on 11/13/25 ahead of the November school board meeting.
Next School Board Meeting: Monday, November 17, 2025 5:30 pm
UPDATED LOCATION: Oceancrest Gymnasium, 1040 Allegheny SW, Bandon OR 97411

Community Response to the 11/10/25 Board Statement
On Monday, November 10, 2025, the Bandon School Board released a public statement on the Bandon School District Facebook page. For months, teachers, families, and community members have urged the board to engage in open dialogue and address serious concerns about district leadership, workplace conditions, and governance practices, requests that have gone unanswered.
The statement was presented as reassurance, but it instead underscores the board’s inadequate and delayed response to the challenges facing our district. Rather than addressing the urgent issues raised by staff and families, it attempts to frame long-standing concerns as recent or routine matters, and relies on vague commitments that fail to meet the scale and immediacy of the current situation. Below is a detailed breakdown and community response to the Bandon School Board’s statement:
