A Toolkit for Engaging your Community.Part One:Introduction & General Overview4For more information visit: https://www.oregon.gov/ode/StudentSuccess

A Toolkit for Engaging your Community.Dear Oregon School District Leaders:I hope you’ll read and share what follows.On August 21st we released the initial version of this document. ODE received dozens of comments andhas since had hundreds of interactions with district leaders. That is so important and appreciated. Wesee your sincerity and focus. We have also heard your appreciation, requests for additional clarity, andyour sharing of points of challenge or confusion. This document provides our final guidance for schooldistrict leaders and other eligible applicants for the Student Investment Account on communityengagement. More guidance on the application process, setting longitudinal growth targets, and more isheaded your way in November.One of my consistent messages to Oregon’s school district leaders as I’ve been traveling and speaking,along with other members of our team, is both a statement and a question:Right Place Right Time Right Action?We have the right people in roles all across the state or better said “we are the ones we’ve been waitingfor.”It is the right moment in Oregon to focus on equity and educational improvement with focused attentionon both the assets and the disparities that exist for students based on race, poverty, disability, orexperiences with homelessness or the foster care system. These are the students the state legislatureplaced at the center of this act.The essential question is whether, with this historic investment, we will each play our parts to take theright action.I believe we can and that we will.And that optimism doesn’t come by avoiding our state’s history and the facts.In 1844 Oregon had a lash law pushing people of color out of the state and requiring “lashes” if theyrefused to leave. In 2018 the suspension/expulsion rate of Black/African American boys was 7.4% - inKindergarten. Recent data suggests that over 50 percent of Oregon’s 580,000 K-12 students arenavigating poverty.Facing our history also allows us to see how bright the future can be. Our state is strengthened bygrowing cultural diversity and language learning. This creates important opportunities and challenges.Oregon has invested in the idea that we can complete a skilled and focused remodel of public educationto meet the needs and realize the potential of each and every learner and their families.The act focuses on students of color; students with disabilities; emerging bilingual students; andstudents navigating poverty, homelessness, and foster care. I ask that you know, give voice to and holdthese students at the center of your conversations about school and district improvement.5For more information visit: https://www.oregon.gov/ode/StudentSuccess

A Toolkit for Engaging your Community.This is an incredible time for public education in Oregon, and a turning point for how we, as educationalleaders, think about improving the conditions, access and opportunities for young people in publiceducation.We are poised to make a difference. Our state’s past does not have to predict our future. Let’s take theright action, let’s join together as champions for Oregon education.Colt GillDirectorLeading with ODE’s Equity StanceEducation equity is the equitable implementation of policy, practices, procedures, and legislationthat translates into resource allocation, education rigor, and opportunities for historically andcurrently marginalized youth, students, and families including civil rights protected classes. Thismeans the dismantling and restructuring of systems and institutions that create the currentdichotomy of beneficiaries over oppressed and marginalized peoples.6For more information visit: https://www.oregon.gov/ode/StudentSuccess

A Toolkit for Engaging your Community.Toolkit PurposeThis toolkit is designed to support school leaders and their partners across Oregon’s 197 school districtsin authentically and meaningfully engaging students, families, communities, and staff, particularlyunderserved or marginalized groups, in their strategic planning efforts as required by the StudentSuccess Act (House Bill 3427).This toolkit aims to clarify how this first set of engagement processes will enable school districts to stayon track with the steps they need to follow to apply for SSA Student Investment Account funds. Weknow many districts and communities may have already engaged in needs assessment or self-evaluationprocesses, continuous improvement or strategic planning, and community engagement work. Please usethis opportunity to align your work to meet the requirements in the law and reach out with questions,needs and challenges you’re experiencing.We are partners in this work and we each have a distinct role to play in it. We will do our best to provideconsistency, clarity, and state-level systems and expertise around how the requirements of the SIArelate and can be coupled with other investments and requirements of districts and charter schools, sothat integration between continuous improvement plans, ESSA, High School Success, and otherinitiatives can be linked over time. We ask that you stay in the conversation, raise any questions, andname barriers to our goal. We are focused on supporting you in order to help our students succeed.7For more information visit: https://www.oregon.gov/ode/StudentSuccess
