Input Invited on Career and College-Readiness and the High School Diploma
The Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission invites college and university staff, faculty, and administration input on the evaluation of Oregon's high school graduation policies. The Oregon Department of Education is evaluating its graduation policies and requirements pursuant to Senate Bill 744 (2021) and will make recommendations to the Legislature and the State Board of Education about a possible redesign by September 1, 2022.
We need your expertise about college and career-readiness for students in Oregon! Please complete the survey based on your professional insight about recent high school graduates, in particular, based on your understanding of the skills and knowledge expected for education and training beyond high school. Your feedback will be used to draft recommendations to the Oregon Legislature.
The opportunity to review and provide feedback on the recommendations—once they are drafted—will be offered over the summer, 2022. Please watch for that opportunity. We invite representatives from postsecondary institutions to be involved in these discussions, to help ensure that recommendations support the equitable success of students in pursuit of their career and college goals. Survey Due May 2.
