This glitch affected all districts differently, but nearly all districts were affected. We have fixed the issue and have updated your Follow Up Interview lists accordingly; however this fix could mean an increase, decrease, or change to the list of students your district needs to interview. As such, we ask that each district use this newly updated list to ensure accuracy. If you have questions regarding this message, please contact either James Foutch, Research Analyst, at 503-947-5776, or at james.foutch at ode.state.or.us or Sally Simich, Education Specialist, at 503-947-5639, or sally.simich at ode.state.or.us.

Leaving ODE will be difficult for me as I have really loved the job and the people. I have used the phrase 'bitter-sweet' to try and capture my feelings and thoughts at this time, and if I could have both worlds, I would do so. However, that is not possible, so the value of family comes first. Some thoughts I left with the staff of Student Services and I share with you: [*] Remember kindness and grace every day; [*] Be true to yourself and always take the high road as it will never steer you wrong; [*] And one that I learned from my Mother...patience is a virtue. Thank you for sharing your work passion and 'some of yourself' with me during my time here at ODE. It has been my honor to work with you to support the students and families of Oregon. Best to all in this journey of life.....Sarah [cid:image001.jpg at 01D27BBF.8C867E00] Ruby Sandberg, Executive Assistant to Assistant Superintendent Sarah Drinkwater Office of Student Services 503-947-5738 www.oregon.gov/ode -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The grant funds are targeted for furthering the implementation of the Oregon Integrated Systems Framework (ORIS), which incorporates a multi-tiered system of supports. SPDG funds will support an LEA coach that will be assisted by a regional coach, and multiple professional development opportunities over three years. Expected Activities Years 1 and 2 The initial focus of the grant is to lay the groundwork for successful implementation. After an initial orientation, districts will be supported as they engage in a comprehensive needs assessment that is part of the continuous improvement process outlined in executive memo 007-2017-18. This work culminates in the creation of a plan that will meet the required CIP/CAP planning requirements for the 2018-2019 school year. When planning is complete, attention turns to implementation with the support of the LEA and regional coach. Throughout the grant, districts will select and maintain a coach that will receive ongoing, in-person professional development in best practices for implementation and coaching, as well as online, strand-specific content around topics such as behavior, literacy, chronic absenteeism, etc. Technical assistance will be job embedded through partnership with regional and state level supports. Funding Districts will receive the following funding allocations that are to support ORIS implementation: * 2018-2019 School Year: $19,207 * 2019-2020 School Year: $19,859 * 2020-2021 School Year: $20,261 Application Process Applications will be available in mid- in August. More detailed information will be provided in the forthcoming application document. Anticipated Timeline for 2018-2019 These dates and times are tentative, and will be confirmed when the official application is released in August.
