1. Hermiston School District K-12 Achievement Compact Implementation & Review Process

2. Where did achievement compacts come from? In legislation enacted this recent session (SB 1581), the Legislature directed all K-12 districts, education service districts, community college districts and public universities to enter into annual achievement compacts with the OEIB, beginning with the 2012-13 school year.

3. What are they intended to do? Achievement compacts represent partnership agreements between the state and its 197 school districts, 19 education service districts, 17 community colleges, the Oregon University System and each of its seven universities and the Oregon Health and Science University. These agreements provide the opportunity to: – Align all sectors of our education system toward achievement of the 40/40/20 Goal and college and career readiness; – Focus and inform state investment and local budget and program decisions to achieve these outcomes; – Spotlight best practices and promote collaboration, so that successful districts, colleges and universities can share their strategies with those that can benefit from additional guidance and support; and, – In K-12 districts, replace provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act with a more supportive and flexible accountability system.

4. Framework Laws Senate Bill 253 (2011) established as the state’s goals for high school and college completion that, by 2025: – 40 percent of adult Oregonians have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher; – 40 percent of adult Oregonians have earned an associate’s degree or post-secondary credential as their highest level of educational achievement; and, – The remaining 20 percent or less of all adult Oregonians have earned a high school diploma, an extended of modified high school diploma, or the equivalent of a high school diploma as their highest level of educational achievement.

5. Laws Cont’d Senate Bill 909 (2011) created the Oregon Education Investment Board “for the purpose of ensuring that all public school students in this state reach the education outcomes established for the state.” – It directed the OEIB to oversee a unified public education system from early childhood through post-secondary education. It created the position of Chief Education Officer. And it directed the OEIB to, among other duties, recommend strategic investments to ensure that the public education budget is integrated and targeted to achieve the education outcomes established for the state.

15. What lays ahead? The establishment of achievement compact advisory committees – must be convened in all districts during the 2012-13 school year to assist with the implementation of achievement compacts in the course of that school year and the development of achievement compacts in subsequent years These will be addressed in permanent rule making by, and additional guidance memos from, the OEIB.

16. Are these going to be tied to funding? Is the compact linked to state funding this year and/or in subsequent years? – K-12 funding for 2012-13 has already been set by the Legislature for the 2011-13 budget. – The Governor in December will propose a budget for 2013-15 that will take the next step in outcomes based investment. The OEIB, which will help craft that budget strategy, has not yet held a full discussion nor made any decisions on how the budget proposal will be linked to the achievement compacts. – Some ideas proposed through the predecessor Oregon Education Investment Team include maintaining a sustainable based funding level (with some inflation factor for increased costs), which would continue to be distributed through the SSF formula. Additional investments could be provided to all districts to support successful strategies to improve particular outcomes. – The board is not looking toward a “performance funding” model for K-12 in which districts with lesser results lose funding. That would only penalize students who are already paying the price in those under-performing districts.
