Lift the Enrollment Cap for Online Schools!
Oregon has a long history of allowing parents to seek the education environment that works best for our kids. Particularly in a time of COVID-19 and uncertainty around classroom learning this fall, parents need access to alternatives we think will keep our kids on track.
Unfortunately, decisions will be made by Salem legislators in the next week that will deny parents online learning options. This is not the time to be telling parents we can’t choose the online learning environment we think will best suit our kids.
We only have a few days to influence this decision so please act now. Complete the form to get connected with your legislators by email, Twitter or video message today!
A bill will be debated next week to temporarily lift the 3% cap and allow more parents to seek online alternatives. That’s a good thing. But, after next school year they’re proposing to take the cap back down to where it was, which would simply throw families out of the online school they want to stay in.
The right solution is lifting the cap permanently so that parents have access to online schools now and, if it’s working for them, in the future.
Some education special interests are trying to keep the 3% cap because they want to protect the status quo. This is wrong. Parents need to let them know we should decide what’s best for our kids, not bureaucrats.
Thank you for standing up for parents around Oregon who are struggling to keep our kids’ education on track during this challenging time.
