2011-2012 Education Reform Principles • All students are capable (SB 253) • The state’s P-20 system should be unified and streamlined (SB 909, 242, 552, 1581, HB 4165) • State investments should be focused on outcomes (SB 909, 242)
SB 253 (2011) “The mission of education … includes achievement of the following by 2025:” • 40% of adult Oregonians will have earned a bachelor's degree or higher (now 30%) • 40% of adult Oregonians will have earned an associate’s degree or postsecondary credential (now 18%) • 20%of all adult Oregonians have earned at least a high school diploma, an extended or modified diploma, or the equivalent of a diploma (now 42%) 8
SB 909 (2011) The OEIB is created: “for the purpose of ensuring that all public school students in this state reach the education outcomes established by the state … by overseeing a unified public education system that begins with early childhood services and continues throughout public education from kindergarten to post-secondary education.”
SB 909 (2011) OEIB duties include: • “Ensuring that early childhood services are streamlined and connected to public education from kindergarten through grade 12 and that public education from kindergarten through grade 12 is streamlined and connected to post-secondary education.” • “Recommending strategic investments in order to ensure that the public education budget is integrated and is targeted to achieve the education outcomes established for the state.” • “Providing an integrated, statewide, student-based data system.”
SB 909 (2011) The OEIB shall: • “Appoint a Chief Education Officer who shall serve at the pleasure of the board.” • “Submit a report to the interim legislative committees on education on or before December 15, 2011.”
SB 1581 (2012) Chief Education Officer – authority to organize, connect, and streamline the P-20 system Provides the Chief Education Officer with “direction and control … for matters related to the design and organization of the state’s education system” over senior educational officials: • Commissioner for the Community College System • Chancellor of OUS • Executive Director of OSAC • Early Childhood System Director • Executive Director of HECC • Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction
Investing in Students and Teachers Now, and For the Future The Governor and Chief Education Officer recommend, as a high priority, the funding of strategic investments specifically intended to: • Rapidly improve performance on several key measures of progress, including Kindergarten readiness, 3rd grade reading proficiency, 9th grade progress toward graduation, high school completion, and college enrollment. • Decrease the achievement gap that exists between historically underserved populations and white Oregonians on the key measures; and • Increase levels of educational attainment and employability for Oregonians.
SB 552 (2011) Establishes the Governor as Superintendent of Public Instruction; provides for the Governor to appoint, with Senate confirmation, a Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction.
SB 242 (2011) Establishes OUS as a public university system Establishes the Higher Education Coordinating Commission to: • Develop state goals and accountability measures for the state post-secondary system, including community colleges and public universities, and for the Oregon Student Access Commission. • Develop a strategic plan for achieving higher education goals • Evaluate and recommend changes to statutory goals and missions for community colleges and public universities • Develop a finance model for higher education aligned with the goals in the system strategic plan • Recommend to the Governor and the Legislative Assembly a consolidated higher education budget request consistent with the finance model • Coordinate with OSAC to maximize the effectiveness of student financial assistance programs, including the Oregon Opportunity Grant • Authorize degrees to be offered in this state
Oregon Learns: Report to the Legislature from the OEIB (15 December 2011) “Defined outcomes should drive our investment strategies. In turn, we must provide educators with the flexibility, support, and encouragement they need to deliver results. That partnership – tight on expected outcomes at the state level, loose on how educators get there – will be codified in annual achievement compacts between the state and its educational entities.” Recommendations for: • Early learning streamlining • Achievement compacts • Authority for Chief Education Officer • A 2013-15 budgeting model that provides sustainable baselines, plus investment models “that encourage innovation and reward success.”
SB 1581 (2012) Achievement compacts – align the state around a common set of metrics, and create intentionality in local budgeting • Requires annual achievement compacts between the OEIB and the governing bodies of each school district, ESD, community college, OUS, public universities, and OHSU’s education programs.
Achievement Compacts SB 1581 required OEIB to enter into contracts with: • 197 school districts • 19 Education Service Districts • 17 Community Colleges • OUS, the 7 public universities, and OHSU By which goals are set for key students outcomes to demonstrate “progress toward the 40-40-20 Goals.”
Achievement Compact Implementation to Date Successes • Institutions across the state are focused on same key indicators • “Budgeting a plan” rather than “planning a budget” • In community colleges, committees engaged in rich conversations about student success Challenges • Implementation resulted in complex document • Institutions continue to work in silos
