6A | WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2019 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL School district seeks community input on new district funding The South Lane School District (SLSD) is tak- ing steps to engage stake- holders in the process of investing funds allocated through Oregon’s Student Success Act (SSA). Passed by the legislature, the SSA provides $1 billion per year beyond the regular Early Learning and K-12 State School Fund to support early learning, local school districts and a number of statewide educational initiatives starting in the 2019-20 school year. The additional funding provided by the SSA-Stu- dent Investment Account is expected to generate an additional $2.3 million per year beyond regular state funding for the school dis- trict. Equity is the driving vi- sion behind this legisla- tion. The primary goal of the SSA is to improve out- comes for historically un- derserved or underachiev- ing students. The district will be pro- viding input opportuni- ties for all stakeholders through surveys and dis- cussion groups. For any parents, stu- dents, school board and community members that want to be more involved, SLSD is soliciting partic- ipants on a district-level team that will review data and recommendations and help facilitate stakeholder meetings and surveys. SLSD staff that wish to be more involved will have an opportunity to be on small- er teams that will identify and analyze critical data, especially disparities in outcomes. To participate on either of these teams, contact Jer- emy Smith (Jeremy.smith@ slane.k12.or.us).
