WHO IS IN THE ROOM?

ISSUE #1

HOME SCHOOL CHARTER SCHOOL VIRTUAL CHARTER SCHOOL HOME SCHOOL CHARTER SCHOOL

20 ONLINE SCHOOLS IN OREGON 14 ARE CHARTER SCHOOLS 20 ONLINE SCHOOLS IN OREGON

WHAT’S THE ISSUE? Secretary of State audit released in December, 2017: “Stronger Accountability, Oversight, and Support Would Improve Results for Academically At-Risk Students in Alternative and Online Education”. Key findings: Tracking of performance is inadequate Enhanced monitoring and support (by the district) would help Some states hold districts and schools more accountable Some states have increased their oversight of online schools; Oregon has not.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO ODE Work with online schools and other stakeholders to strengthen attendance and funding standards. Improve public reporting of online school performance and student engagement (teacher loads, student turnover, credit accumulation) Verify quality and suitability of online credit recovery options used by Oregon schools Develop standards for district reviews of online programs and charter contracts, and ensure districts are following them. Work with the legislature to increase standards of statewide and regional virtual charter schools (increased ODE oversight of districts, shifting sponsorship of virtual schools to central body).
