On July 27, Governor Tina Kotek signed HB3204 into law. As reported in our July newsletter, the bill makes administrative changes to the 3% enrollment cap on virtual schools. The changes are related to district enrollment count dates, appeal notifications, and capped districts. The bill doesn’t remove the 3% enrollment cap but ensures fairness and prevents discrimination for virtual school enrollment. The changes will take effect in the 2023/24 school year.
Final chance to complete family survey
Our family survey will be closing soon! Don’t miss this opportunity to share your virtual school experience. Your responses will help us educate state lawmakers about Oregon’s virtual public schools and the families who use them. With your help, we can continue to make a difference for Oregon’s virtual public school students.
Thank you for all you do to support our schools! Enjoy the rest of the summer! We’ll be in touch in September.
Sincerely,
Tricia F. Powell
