To: Superintendents, Principals, Charter School Leaders, Private School Leaders From: Colt Gill, Director of the Oregon Department of Education Date: March 12, 2021 Re: Governor’s Executive Order and Two Important Updates
This morning, Governor Brown published Executive Order 21-06, which orders public school districts and charter schools to offer fully On-site or Hybrid in-person instruction. The Order continues the requirement of all schools (public and private) to comply with guidance issued by ODE and OHA, including the health and safety protocols outlined in Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance.
Later this afternoon, ODE will send a survey for public school districts and charter schools to report on their progress towards meeting the Governor's direction for offering fully On-site or Hybrid in-person instruction.
ODE will release updated Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance late Monday or early Tuesday of next week, with additional updates to supplemental guidance following later in the week.
Please continue to use the ODE COVID-19 inbox for your questions. Thank you!
