The third agenda item in support of education was a res- olution that read like a call to action as Siuslaw School Dis- trict pledged to support OSBA’s “Oregonians for Student Suc- cess” campaign. The resolution shows the district’s support of education funding to the level recommended by the Quality Education Model. According to the staff re- port, “This is the year we join with our legislative leaders to restore adequate and stable school funding in Oregon. By passing a resolution in support of the ‘Oregonians for Student Success’ campaign, our school board will send a clear signal to local legislators that the 2019 session cannot end without meaningful revenue reform and funding our schools to the Quality Education Model.” The report listed a three-de- cade lapse in funding for Ore- gon’s schools that has led to re- duced staffs, shortened school years and unattainable achieve- ment rates. “The Quality Education Model has consistently defined what a high-quality education- SCHOOLS from page 1A “The committed men and women who serve on the boards deserve recognition and thanks for their dedication to the education needs of the peo- ple of Oregon,” the proclama- tion finished. To show the community’s ap- preciation for the school board, Siuslaw district staff put togeth- er a small reception to go along with the artwork and thank you cards prepared by students. “Thank you,” Harklerode told the board directly. “This is a thankless task — well, we’re thanking you now — so it’s nice to have a once-a-year event to show our appreciation. Thank you for all that you do and the time and dedication you put to- ward taking care of the staff and students of this district.” Board President Suzanne Mann-Heintz then thanked the students and staff who put to- gether the reception. Additional education edicts were also included on the agen- da. “Jan. 24 is the International Day of Education. That’s a UN holiday that was proclaimed several years ago,” Mann- Heintz said. She then read a proclamation detailing the district’s commit- ment to providing inclusive and equitable quality in education at all levels; providing lifelong learning opportunities that help people to acquire the skills and knowledge they need; and pro- viding children and youth with a nurturing, safe environment for the full realization of their al system should look like for Oregon students, but the leg- islature has never provided the funding to meet it. … We be- lieve funding a strong system of public education is the best investment Oregonians can make to strengthen our econ- omy, create thriving commu- nities and improve the quality of life for every Oregonian,” the school board’s resolution reads. The report acknowledged that there has been recent prog- ress in achievement, as well as reinvestments in education funding, “but funding momen- tum is fragile due to looming costs increases related to health care and PERS.” Resolution # 011619-8(b), “Oregonians for Student Suc- cess,” concludes, “Now there- fore, be it resolved, that the Siuslaw School District Board of Education pledges to join and support the efforts of ‘Or- egonians for Student Success’ campaign to ensure that Ore- gon’s lawmakers prioritize in- vestments to improve the edu- cational outcomes for Oregon’s greatest natural resource: our children.” The five present members of the school board voted in favor of the resolution, which will now be sent to the OSBA. For more information on “Oregonians for Student Suc- cess,” OSBA is holding a Lane County Town Hall on State School Funding on Wednesday, Feb. 9, at the Lane Education Service District in Eugene.
