Oregon Education Investment Board Community Meetings

The Oregon Education Investment Board will hold seven community meetings across the state this month to discuss the next steps to improve student success in Oregon’s public education system, from prekindergarten through to college and career readiness.

Local students, educators, parents and community members are invited to the meetings, to share their ideas to support student learning. Meetings are scheduled for seven Oregon cities beginning Tuesday, Jan. 17 at Portland Community College’s Rock Creek campus, Washington County Rock Creek Event Center, Bldg. 9, 17705 NW Springville Rd.

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
