You Are Here: Home Analysis Key Points Analysis of K-12 Education Finance in Oregon Key Points Purpose of report: Review K-12 spending since the 1990 passage of Oregon’s property tax limitation measure and analyze how school districts were impacted by the legislative efforts to equalize spending per student in all Oregon districts. 1. Overall finding Complex changes in 1990s to K-12 funding makes simple statewide per student spending figures an incomplete way to compare and contrast how Oregon school district’s funding compares to other states. Two factors impact those state-to-state comparisons: Equalization process Provides comparable funding to all school districts based on a per student formula. Districts with weak local property tax support saw spending per student increase above the rate of inflation Districts with strong local property tax support saw funding slow and had to eliminate or scale back some programs Special Education funding increases Funding to meet federal special education mandates took money away from regular programs from both sides of the equalization formula. Since 1992 spending per student on special education in Oregon’s public schools increased 14.3 percent annually while spending on regular classroom instruction increased 3 percent annually.

Get Involved Oregon Mentor Program Handbook Welcome to the Oregon Mentor Program Handbook. This handbook is designed to assist educators and districts in the successful development of a local mentor program. It offers an outline of best practices around mentorship programs, as well as helpful references and resources that a local design group can use when creating and implementing its own mentorship program. The handbook was conceived and written by a coalition of education partners in Oregon whose goal continues to be the development of statewide resources and funding for districts seeking to provide successful mentorship programs. The efforts of this group stem from the belief that mentoring programs not only positively affect the retention of educators, but also significantly enrich the learning environment of the school, the quality of its educators, and the learning gains of its students. Partners in the Mentor Advocacy Partnership include the Confederation of Oregon School Administrators, Lewis and Clark College, Mt. Angel School District, Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory, Oregon Collaborative for Excellence in the Preparation of Teachers, Oregon Department of Education, Oregon Education Association, Oregon School Boards Association, Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission, and Western Oregon University.

These students will study primarily at their own pace and for the most part, through interactive telecommunications and computers at a wide variety of sites their workplace, home, community college, or other facility in their vicinity. New educational strategies and capacities will need to be developed to serve these students and to provide the social, interpersonal, and developmental learning experiences appropriate to their needs and situations.

Box 3175 Eugene, OR 97403 Contents Executive Summary A. Planning, Quality, Programs/Courses Statewide Plan Needs Assessment ... Appendix - Contributors to Document DISTANCE EDUCATION POLICY FRAMEWORK Executive Summary Introduction Distance Education extends the process of teaching and learning from the campus to one or more locations including classrooms on other campuses, worksites, community centers, and homes. For example, an instructor may teach a class in a room with "live" students, while simultaneously broadcasting the class session to students in another city or town. Typically, these "remote" students have access to the originating site via a two-way audio/video link and a computer conferencing channel, and are able to interact with the instructor and other class participants. A key strategy in OSSHE's vision of a restructured higher education system is to expand the System's learning opportunities on- and off- campus using multiple technologies. This Executive Summary provides a brief synopsis of a proposed policy framework to enact our distance education strategy.

Research Roundups Summer Reading for School Leaders by Larry Lashway . Summer 2004. For school leaders, summer has always been a cherished time of rest and renewal. This Research Roundup features five highly regarded books on leadership to which principals may turn for some guidance in their quest for school improvement. Since all the books offer insights on leadership from the worlds of business and psychology, principals can avoid yet another tiring rehash of the problems of education. In the slower pace of summer, school leaders can reflect on the ideas presented in these books, relate them to their own practice, and perhaps come away with a little more wisdom for next year's challenges.

SOESD News The Source Newsletter November 2003 Education High in Oregon Values Survey In this Issue: Superintendent's Message Education High in Oregon Values Survey SOU MAT Program Registration A class ACT ... Carey's Top Ten The Source: The Newsletter of Southern Oregon ESD November 2003 Oregonians like schools; disagree on funding methods O regonians value family above everything else. They also want quality education and accessible/affordable healthcare but are divided on the best way to fund those services. McCaig provided attendees a comprehensive overview of study findings. Data were complied from approximately 2,600 randomly selected Oregonians obtained through opinion surveys and large group discussions and categorized by age, gender, income, education and region. Although family, education and healthcare were important to respondents in both studies, some changes have occurred since 1992. Oregonians feel safer today and are less concerned with crime and public safety issues. They also believe the state is doing a better job of providing K-12 education. Higher education has earned greater prestige and support. Increased concern was expressed for senior service issues—from providing adult daycare to funding government programs for the elderly. The volatility of Oregon’s economy has created enormous challenges for funding services. While a strong majority of Oregonians believe a change in the state’s tax system is necessary (66%) there were wide opinions, none supported by a majority, on what that change should be. When it came to predicting the state’s future, some respondents predicted a rosy picture while others painted a grimmer one.
