Student Success Committee announces statewide tour schedule
Wednesday, March 21, 2018
The Joint Interim Committee on Student Success announced Wednesday 10 meeting dates and locations for 2018.
The bipartisan group of legislators will be taking public testimony from around Oregon to help formulate a plan to improve public education and provide adequate funding for schools.
The committee’s first trip will be to Eugene on Thursday. Committee members will hold a listening session with students in the morning and tour schools and meet with local school board members, administrators and education advocates in the afternoon.
Public testimony will be from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Sheldon High School auditorium. Testimony will be limited to two minutes per person, and sign-up sheets will be available at 6:30 p.m. Testimony for the record can also be submitted at jcss.exhibits@oregonlegislature.gov.
“As a committee, one of our key tasks is to see firsthand what’s working in successful schools and determine how we can duplicate their success in schools across Oregon,” said committee Co-Chair Sen. Arnie Roblan (D-Coos Bay) in a news release. “Thursday is just the beginning of our journey.”
