The Oregon State Board of Education is considering changes to the policies concerning complaints and appeals.

Below is my summary of the most important changes, followed by a link to the proposed language in the materials submitted to the Board, the hearing schedule, a note from Emily Nazarov concerning opportunities to participate in the rulemaking process and finally, a note from the Department of Education explaining the Department's current policy when districts fail to follow the process laid out in the OARs. If you wish to comment or participate, please be sure to submit any comments for the Board in good time: at least two days before the hearing takes place. As the rules are currently being revised, you may wish to comment on that too.
