Why this IGA?

  • When the city of Portland suspended it’s School Resource Officer Program, there are specific student supports we still need.
  • We discussed this issue at our legislative advocacy day with our city partners.
  • MESD has since developed a team to consider a way to regionally address schools needs for support. �

What’s Else?

ODE has submitted a separate Accountability Addendum, which would remove (1) the expectation that state assessment data be used to identify schools for comprehensive or targeted improvement and (2) the 95% participation requirement. Approval from USDE is expected. USDE will require ODE to publicly report state assessment results from spring 2021.

What’s Else?

Given the expected removal of the 95% participation requirement, ODE does not anticipate fiscal consequences for the state or our districts related to participation rates, provided that districts and public charter schools make good faith efforts to administer required assessments and make all state assessments available for parents and families.

Challenges and Approach

  • Facilitating assessments in this environment will be difficult because it takes time for students to test and access machines at school
  • Opt out forms for all families
  • Opt in format is a violation of Division 22
  • Thoughts from the board?
