OSBA continues to join other education advocates in supporting proposed rules before the State Board of Education that allow schools much-needed flexibility in implementing 2023’s Senate Bill 3. Under the bill, students are required to meet diploma requirements of a half-credit in personal finance education and a half-credit in higher education and career path skills, beginning with the class of 2027. The draft proposal from the Oregon Department of Education allows districts to meet those requirements by integrating such content into other courses, such as economics, algebra, business or accounting. This two-way integration, which Oregon schools have successfully adopted in other instructional areas, will provide students with the skills they need and ensure they have plentiful opportunities to take other coursework they require for careers and higher education. The more than 540,000 students in Oregon public schools come from a variety of backgrounds and interests, and allowing their communities the flexibility to meet this state requirement will help ensure their continued success.Read more: www.oregon.gov/ode/students-and-family/oregondiploma/pages/hecps-pfe.aspx#:~:text=Personal%20Fina...#oregon #osba #school #publicschools #education #educationmatters #funding #schoolfunding #legislative #educationforall ...

Kindergartener Hope Tyer spends three hours a day on a school bus, but her parents are just thankful the Athena-Weston School District provides transportation. Busing can be very different in rural Oregon.
