Dear Partners,

In the 2021 Regular Session, the Oregon Legislature amended ORS 339.990 and public schools and districts and/or courts are no longer allowed to cite a parent with a Class C violation as part of a school district process in response to their child’s irregular school attendance.

This change was legally effective on September 25, 2021.

In consultation with the OSBA and COSA, ODE is releasing this white-paper that shares promising practices across the state, resources, and contains a brief FAQ.

Please review and send questions to ODE.EII@ode.oregon.gov
