Astoria, OR – According to the state officials, the funding means an estimated 48,000 students across Oregon will benefit from summer learning programs this year.
The bill also creates a workgroup to develop recommendations for sustainable long-term funding for summer.
Governor Kotek reportedly said:
“Our goals must be student-centered to reduce opportunity gaps for historically underserved students and raise the bar on outcomes for all students.
And we have to help families know their children have a safe, welcoming place to learn during the summer months and after school.”
