The Oregon Education Investment Board is proposing legislative action in February 2012 to streamline early childhood programs and create a system of accountability for student success from pre-kindergarten through K-12 to college and career readiness.

The recommendations come from Oregon Learns, a report delivered last Dec. 15 to the Oregon Legislature by the Oregon Education Investment Board. For more information and meeting locations, visit the OEIB online at www.oregon.gov/Gov/OEIB/OregonEducationInvestmentBoard.shtml
