Letter from LOCS President Jay Jackson
Hi all,
Greetings from the League of Oregon Charter Schools. I hope you are all doing well.
Please find attached the Legislative Report of 2021 Legislation potentially affecting education and charter schools that I am tracking as of March 5, 2021. I will continue to update this report, and plan to make it available each week. This list is from the 2408 bills introduced so far. I understand that about 3700 legislative requests for bills have been submitted.
