New grants support tribal early learning
Oregon must award grants to all nine federally recognized tribes to carry out the early learning plan. The Early Learning Council sets grant eligibility rules in consultation with the Department of Early Learning and Care. A separate Tribal Early Learning Fund holds appropriations, other deposits, and earned interest, with money continuously available for the plan and grants. Each two-year budget period, the department may retain up to 5% of legislative appropriations deposited for training, infrastructure, and related supports. The law sets no total funding or grant amounts and promises no payments to families.
Tribes help shape early learning services
Oregon must carry out an early learning plan with its nine federally recognized tribes, respecting tribal sovereignty. It covers Native American and Alaska Native children age eight or younger enrolled in early care or education programs. Covered children must have experienced unequal results from historical practices identified by the Early Learning Council’s rules. The plan supports culturally appropriate care, Native languages, school readiness, reading and math, educator training, and family involvement. A separate Tribal Early Learning Hub coordinates services. A 21-member tribal advisory committee includes two voting representatives per tribe and three nonvoting state representatives. The Oregon Tribal Early Learning Alliance advises on the plan, grants, and support spending. It has 18 voting tribal representatives, two per tribe, and at least nine nonvoting members. Nonvoting members include at least two parents or caregivers and two tribal educators or providers.
