Dear Hermiston-area Virtual School Parent,

On Wednesday, April 25 at 7:00pm, the Joint Legislative Committee on Student Success will be holding a hearing at Hermiston High School in Hermiston. The Committee will be traveling around the state to hear from students, parents, teachers and administrators. They will explore the best practices in schools around Oregon and develop recommendations to address the gaps that are limiting student success.

It is vitally important that virtual public schools are part of this debate. As a virtual public school family, would you be willing to testify at this hearing to let our state leaders know why a virtual public school is the right fit for your family?

Please see the hearing details below:
