After last week’s swearing-in ceremonies for Governor Kotek and new legislators, lawmakers met this week to officially convene the 2023 Legislative Session. Several bills have been introduced to raise or remove the 3 percent enrollment cap to make virtual public schools available to more Oregon families. We will keep you informed on how you can advocate for these bills.
As we prepare for Thanksgiving later this week, it’s a good time to pause, reflect and show gratitude for the positive things in life. I’m grateful for many things, including the opportunity to send my children to the school of their choice, a full-time virtual public school.
Although we celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week earlier this month, we want to continue honoring our amazing virtual school teachers! Appreciation should not be reserved for just one week every spring but demonstrated throughout the year. As parents of virtual school students, we’re grateful for the hard work and commitment of our teachers. We applaud their passion for teaching and support of students across the state.
