Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Annual equity report shared with parents

A committee may prepare a yearly report. It must list equity successes, challenges, recommendations, and district actions, plus any items the State Board requires. If made, the superintendent shares it with the school board, and the committee presents it if asked. The district must send it to parents, post it online, and send it to the State Board of Education.

Equity committees advise superintendents directly

Each committee advises the superintendent on the equity impact of district policies. The committee must tell the superintendent when a situation hurts underrepresented students and how to handle it. The superintendent may act on the committee’s recommendations without school board approval. This law does not interfere with the duties and rights of the elected school board.

School districts must form equity committees

Every Oregon school district now has an educational equity advisory committee. The board and the superintendent select members after asking the community for names. Members include parents, employees, students, and community members, and should mainly represent underserved student groups. Districts may not exclude someone because of immigration status. The State Board of Education can set extra requirements by rule.

State board sets rules, starts now

The State Board of Education adopts rules to run these committees. The law takes effect on its passage, so districts begin under these rules right away.
