Experts will discuss the importance of parental education and the research that shows it increases the likelihood of children attending college. Presenters will demonstrate how each resource helps prepare adult students for postsecondary education, and provide information on how to access and pay for college. The presentation will detail how the free resources can help parents-especially those with limited educational experience themselves-navigate the higher education system and guide their own children toward college and beyond. Presenters: * Laura Westberg, NCFL Senior Director * Sylvia Cobos Lieshoff, NCFL Senior Training Specialist [http://www.thehatchergroup.com/images/NCFL/arrows.gif] Ruby Sandberg, Executive Support to Nancy Latini, Assistant Superintendent Oregon Department of Education Office of Student Learning & Partnerships 503-947-5738 FAX: 503-378-5156 ruby.sandberg at state.or.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You should be aware that this bill allows for funds to cover our state MOE shortfall so that our IDEA funding should be fully restored. In addition this bill provides general funds to districts to use exclusively for students with disabilities (HB 5055 attached). Attached also please find a copy of the message sent yesterday to all superintendents and business managers. I wanted you to have this same information. Senate Bill 3 that will change the terminology for mental retardation to intellectual disability passed both the House and Senate and is ready for signature . While this trip was longer than expected we need to be thankful it got to the end of the process without any contention. The Department will be ready to make the necessary changes in terminology to all of our relevant documents immediately upon the Governor's signature of this bill. Have a safe and happy summer. Keep in touch as we will be here busy figuring out our new work based on other session actions. It would be good to hear from you!
