62. Oregon’s Commitment: Free Public Education For All Children In 1920, oregon’s 2543 school districts got a boost in state support when voters for state school support that was placed on the November 1946 general http://www.osba.org/hotopics/funding/crossroad/commit.htm

You Are Here: Home Crossroad Commitment Education Funding: At the Crossroads Oregon’s Commitment: Free Public Education for All Children (From At the Crossroads - Winter 2003 Critical Issues Oregon’s commitment to providing a free public education for all its children started in the 1830s when Oregon pioneer John Ball opened the first school for “half-blood” children of fur trappers who frequented Fort Vancouver. That commitment to a free public education, with local control and permanent funding, was written into territorial law by the Rev. George Atkinson in 1849 and became a part of the Oregon Constitution in 1859. Oregonians at that time not only provided for “a uniform, and general system of Common schools” (Article VIII, Section 3), they also established a mechanism to pay for those schools the Common School Fund. The Common (Irreducible) School Fund (Article VIII, Section 2) provided for the distribution of income to school districts from the sale of land given to the state by the federal government. According to the 1868 Report of the Board of Commissioners for the sale of school lands and the management of the fund: “If the state school lands are all sold, and the funds carefully managed, in a few years it (the Common School Fund) will fully support a free public school system.”

72. K-12 School District Financing The primary sources for school funding are the general fund (primarily income taxes), oregon School Finance Solving the Dilemma. March 1988. http://www.open.org/~lwvor/k-12.htm

K-12 SCHOOL DISTRICT FINANCING AN UPDATE OF CHANGES IN THE 1990s Prior to the 1990s, local school boards and the district voters determined the size of K-12 school district budgets. The majority of school funds were raised locally through property taxes, with the state providing less than 30% of operating funds. Operating expenditures per student varied widely, depending upon what each community considered appropriate funding for schools and that community's ability to raise revenue. Today the state income tax and, to a lesser degree, the lottery provide about 70% of the operating revenue for K-12 schools with the local property tax providing the bulk of the rest. The legislature distributes state funds using formulas that have largely erased the differences in resources among districts. For some districts this has meant increases in budgets. For others it has meant belt-tightening and cuts in programs. Oregon has 198 school districts enrolling about 541,350 students. Each district has its individual story of the impact of shifting demands and resources. This report relates the history of the shift in school funding from local to state control and the consequences for schools. It also describes some of the resources that school districts and individual schools use to supplement the funding levels set by the state. Finally, this report looks at how demands on schools have changed during the 1990s, focusing on the mandates of school reform. THE EFFECTS OF MEASURES 5, 47, AND 50

In the House, Representative Susan Morgan (R-Myrtle Creek) carried the bill and spoke about how the House had increased the funding for higher education above the level recommended by the Governor, including lowering tuition for undergraduate students, and providing for a faculty recruitment and retention fund. The floor discussion (by both proponents and opponents) centered on the need for more money for higher education. In the Senate, there was considerably less discussion on the higher education budget bill with only Senator David Nelson (R-Pendleton) speaking against the bill, arguing that it didn’t provide enough funding for higher education. Senator Richard Devlin (D-Lake Oswego), and chair of the Senate Education Budget Subcommittee, outlined how the Senate Committee had improved funding for Oregon’s universities and provided for a reduced tuition level in his speech urging members of the Senate to support the bill. SB 5603 was approved by the Senate on a vote of 20 to 8 with Senator Jackie Winters (R-Salem) excused. Those voting against the bill were: Senators Atkinson (R-Central Point), Beyer (R-Molalla), Ferrioli (R-John Day), George (R-Newberg), Kruse (R-Roseburg), Morse (R-Corvallis), Nelson (R-Pendleton), Starr B.

FINAL REPORT OF THE OREGON SCHOOL-AGE CHILD CARE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROJECT Beverly B. Hobbs, Ph.D. Extension Specialist, 4-H Youth Development Oregon State University Introduction How children spend their out-of-school hours is an important factor in their overall development. Quality experiences during these hours provide children with opportunities to develop new skills, learn new information, and connect with caring adults, all of which promote positive youth development. Supervising children in the out-of-school hours was once the direct responsibility of parents, but increasingly, as more families have both parents or the only parent in the workforce, families look to others in the community to provide care and supervision for their children, or they leave their children on their own.

Oregon - City History Oregon was once part of the Great Black Swamp. The swamp area was rich with oak, hickory, ash, walnut, elm and maple trees. This led to the establishment of numerous sawmills and settlements. The harvested forests created rich farmland, but the area remained swampy and there was a need for storm drainage. Major ditches, usually along roadways that followed the path of old Indian trails, were constructed. These ditches continue to provide storm drainage today carrying storm water into Maumee Bay. The first government was Oregon Township, formed in 1838. The land was surveyed and there were public sales for settlements. The area that was the township, is now the City of Oregon, which is bounded on the west by the City of Toledo, the North by Maumee Bay/Lake Erie, on the east by Jerusalem Township (Lucas County) and on the South by the City of Northwood (Wood County). In 1856 the township took ownership of two cemeteries which remain owned by the City today. The 1800's and 1900's saw the development of an extensive rail system. The Port of Toledo began operations on the south bank of the Maumee River in the early 1800's and developed port operations on the Maumee Bay in Oregon in 1955. These operations continue in the Northwest area of the City. Because of the water, rail, and surface transportation access that was available in the City, two major refineries, British Petroleum (BP) and Sun Marketing located in Oregon around the turn of the century. These two refineries have historically been two of the City's largest employers..

Meetings The Oregon Teacher Recruitment and Mentoring (OTRM) project is a statewide initiative to support the recruitment and retention of highly qualified mid-career professionals, school paraprofessionals, and recent college graduates as teachers in high-need schools through enhanced alternative pathways to certification. The project, a partnership among the Oregon University System (OUS), Oregon Department of Education (ODE), and five Oregon public universities, is designed to enable high-need school districts in Oregon, many of them rural, to address their teacher shortages by enabling them to hire and retain highly talented skilled individuals who desire to make a career move into teaching. OTRM focuses on two objectives: Teacher Shortages: During the first four years, the project will expand the state's capacity to address critical teacher shortages through new recruitment strategies and alternative pathways to teaching by enrolling 50-60 teachers per year for four years into the five universities' various pathways to licensure, for a total of 200-240 by the end of the project. ($5,000 tuition assistance scholarships will be provided to students who agree to teach in a high-need school for at least three years.)
