[kids-lib] Reading is an Investment is Officially Discontinued

[Jennifer Maurer]

Please pardon the cross-posting.

Hi,

I contacted someone at the Oregon College Savings Plan to find out the status of the Reading is an Investment program, and this is what I learned:

"The Reading is an Investment program has been discontinued. We’re going a different direction with our outreach efforts."

I will take this off my radar. Thanks to everyone who promoted the program and helped students participate over the years.

Last year's message, posted 9/19/14:

The Reading is an Investment program is sponsored by the Oregon College Savings Plan and aims to promote literacy and financial education among K-5 elementary students in Oregon.

Today I learned from the program coordinator that Reading is an Investment is "being reevaluated this year because it didn't meet its target last year and participation was down. It will likely come back in the future in a different form."

FYI, in case you are asked about the program,
