ORS 329.841 directs the Department of Education to develop and implement a statewide education plan for African American/Black students who are in early childhood through post-secondary education programs. The Department has convened an advisory group comprised of members of the African American/Black community and other community partners from across the state of Oregon to advise the Department on the creation and implementation of the plan.
The plan addresses:
- the disparities experienced by African American and Black students in every indicator of academic success.
- the historical practices leading to disproportionate outcomes for the students.
- the educational needs of the students from early childhood through post-secondary education by examining culturally responsive and appropriate best practices in this state and across the nation.
The Advisory Group is accepting public testimony. However, due to COVID-19 public testimony must be submitted in written form to
Erin Rothweiler by 5:00p.m. the Monday before the meeting.
