Summer Learning Legislative Work Group
Last month, Representative Smith Warner pulled together a legislative work group under the House Education Committee auspices to address the issue of Summer Learning in Oregon. The group is tasked with establishing an agreed-upon range of classifications to describe summer learning programs, to define the classifications and then to categorize the programs we identify through a statewide summer learning survey. We have met twice and look forward to continuing this work as we help educate policymakers and stakeholders alike to the needs of Oregon youth and families.

Wellness & Nutrition Survey
OregonASK is conducting a survey of wellness and nutrition practices in out-of-school time across the state. Currently, there is no comprehensive database of this information, which makes it difficult to assess what practices are best and what resources are most needed. With this survey, we hope to collect information to better support wellness in out-of-school-time. Data from this survey will be used to create a report that will be shared with lawmakers in order to promote legislation and funding to support out-of-school wellness practices.
Please
Click Here to complete the survey if you are a program manager, or share it with the programs in your network if you are not! Participants will receive a $5 gift card in thanks for their time.
