Governor Holds Summer School Summit
(Eugene, OR) — Future plans for summer school programs in Oregon were discussed during a summit in Eugene. Governor Tina Kotek brought together the Oregon Community Foundation and the Gray Family Foundation to look at ways to create and maintain summer and after school programs. A bill passed by the Legislature provided 30-million dollars in funding for programs this summer across the state. The group will make recommendations to the Legislature. Kotek is proposing a change to the State’s calculation of the State School Fund that would boost funding by 515-million-dollars.
