History of Oregon’s Charter School Law In 1999, Oregon became the thirty-fifth state to enact charter school legislation. The form of charter school legislation varies widely from state-to-state. Oregon’s charter laws are a reflection of both the broader national and state policy context during which the laws were enacted, as well as the particular path the legislative debates and discussions followed.

Education Reform Context

Following the landmark “Nation at Risk” report in 1983,1 many states and localities embarked on efforts to reform their public schools and school systems. The report included several major areas of recommendations, including the following:

Establishing state and local graduation requirements;

Establishing rigorous and measurable standards and expectations for students;

Increasing instructional time and the amount of time devoted to addressing basic subjects;

Upgrading the quality of teacher preparation and the teaching profession; and

Holding educators and elected officials accountable for the performance of education systems

Though these recommendations enjoyed significant public and political support, and spurred many states to initiate reform efforts and legislation, implementing them proved more challenging than many had anticipated. As a result, the late 1980s and early 1990s were marked by growing frustration in many sectors regarding the apparently slow pace of reform and change within public education systems. Many frustrated observers began to look for alternative reform tools. Deregulation and market-based competition presented a promising picture to some reform advocates. In the 1970s and 1980s, major industries such as airlines, telecommunications, and energy were deregulated with dramatic and rapid result. Though these deregulation efforts had many unintended consequences, they were generally understood to have led to intense competition, lower prices, and a much broader (if confusing) array of choices for consumers. Several individuals and policy makers began to focus on market and deregulatory efforts within the public education sector. In Minnesota, for example, reform advocates successfully pressed for legislation to establish new laws to give parents and students increased choices within the public education system. These included laws to permit students to opt to attend public schools in non-resident districts and to attend post-secondary institutions at the expense of their “home” K-12 school district. They were seen as a less radical alternative to full-blown public voucher arrangements enabling the state to capture some of the market leverage of consumer choice, but exercised within a context of public operating principles and public oversight. These public school choice options, however, initially proved somewhat anemic due to the lack of genuinely different choices and educational options. Minnesota’s policy makers began to look for methods to enable a broader array of instructional options within the public system.

Origins and Expansion of the Charter School Concept

In an effort to broaden the supply of new schooling options, Minnesota was the first state to enact charter school legislation in 1991. The charter school concept, however, originated in various places much earlier. Discussion and debate continues over what “charter schools” are and should be and these debates were and remain an integral part of the discussions surrounding Oregon’s charter law. Part of the charter concept originated with Ray Budde, an education professor whose 1974 paper, “Education by Charter” and 1988 book, “Education by Charter: Restructuring School Districts”2 advocated for restructuring of school districts by moving authority from the central office to teachers. Early advocates of charter schools in Minnesota had a subtly, but significantly different concept of “charter schools,” though they used the same “charter school” terminology. The Minnesota advocates defined charter schools as a state-level, rather than district-level, policy change. Under this definition, “charter schools” was a state policy that permitted the creation of new forms of public schools that could be authorized and operated outside of the traditional school district framework. According to charter advocate Ted Kolderie, the central charter idea, “is to offer change-oriented educators or others the opportunity to go either to the local school board or to some other public body for a contract under which they would set up an autonomous (and therefore performance-based) public school that students could choose to attend without charge.”3 This Minnesota version was a more radical, and arguably fundamentally different approach from what Budde had advocated and was specifically designed to permit change to occur outside of the traditional school district-controlled structure. After Minnesota enacted the first charter school law in 1991, California became the second state to enact charter legislation in 1992, borrowing heavily from Minnesota’s law with a variety of local adaptations. Charter legislation began to spread rapidly in 1993 with three to eight additional states added each year until 1999 when Oregon’s charter law [Senate Bill (SB) 100, which became Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) Chapter 338] was enacted. As of June 2011, forty-one states and Washington, D.C. have charter school laws; states without charter school laws are Washington, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kentucky, Alabama, West Virginia, Vermont.

Federal Influences

The spread of charter legislation can be partly accounted for by encouragement from the federal government. In 1991, Minnesota Senator David Durenberger, a liberal Republican with ties to Minnesota’s charter school advocates, introduced legislation to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to create a federal grant program to support the planning and start-up of charter schools. Durenberger’s original proposal was not enacted, but with the bipartisan support of Durenberger, Senator Joseph Lieberman, and the Clinton Administration. The Public Charter Schools Program was incorporated into the 1994 reauthorization of ESEA. The program has expanded rapidly from $6 million in 1994 to over $216 million per year in 2005, fueling the start-up of hundreds of schools nationally. The rapid expansion of federal charter school start-up and implementation funding also helped with efforts to enact charter schools legislation in many states, including Oregon.

Origins of Oregon’s Charter School Law Charter school bills were introduced during the three Legislative Sessions prior to Oregon’s passage of its charter school law during the 1999 Legislative Session. Charter school legislation very nearly passed in the 1995 and 1997 Legislative Sessions. Between 1993 and 1999, the charter school concept built momentum and key education stakeholders wrestled over what the most suitable charter school provisions would be for Oregon.

After years of dialogue around charter school legislation and months of deliberations around Senate Bill 100, Oregon’s Charter Schools Act was signed into law on May 27, 1999 by the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Governor, and became effective on that date. Once enacted, it became Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) Chapter 338.

Oregon’s Charter Schools Act Legislative Intent and Goals ORS Chapter 338 plainly articulates the Legislative and intent of Oregon’s Charter Schools Act:

“It is the intent of this chapter that new types of schools, called public charter schools, be created as a legitimate avenue for parents, educators and community members to take responsible risks to create new, innovative and more flexible ways of educating children within the public school system. The Legislative Assembly seeks to create an atmosphere in Oregon’s public school system where research and development of new learning opportunities are actively pursued. The provisions of this chapter should be interpreted liberally to support the goals of this section and to advance a renewed commitment by this state to the mission, goals and diversity of public education. It is the intent that public charter schools may serve as models and catalysts for the improvement of other public schools and the public school system. The goals of public charter schools shall be to:

(1) Increase student learning and achievement; (2) Increase choices of learning opportunities for students; (3) Better meet individual student academic needs and interests; (4) Build stronger working relationships among educators, parents and other community

members; (5) Encourage the use of different and innovative learning methods; (6) Provide opportunities in small learning environments for flexibility and innovation,

which may be applied, if proven effective, to other public schools; (7) Create new professional opportunities for teachers; (8) Establish additional forms of accountability for schools; and (9) Create innovative measurement tools.”4

Charter School Curriculum Orientations Beginning in the 2009-2010 school year, each Oregon charter school was categorized by

type: 1) alternative, 2) conversion, 3) progressive, 4) traditional, or 5) vocation. With these categories or typology, it became clear some schools have characteristics of multiple types. To more accurately compare schools, the Oregon Department of Education has adjusted the five types to include nine curriculum orientations to further categorize charter schools in the state.

In the fall of 2011 charter schools were requested to determine the type and orientation

that best fit their school and curriculum format. The information included in this directory was self-reported from the charter school; made available to the public and may help prospective parents understand the primary type and curricular focus of the school. Charter schools often find multiple types or orientations fit their school. You may find a charter school has reported they are a Progressive: Child-Centered charter school even though there is a strong environmental (Content Specialties) or engineering (Trade Specialties) focus as well. The following table outlines the curriculum orientation with the type of schools.

Mission Statement

Burnt River School is a public charter school that provides instruction both locally and online. We are

committed to the success of all of our students. Our students are provided a rigorous curriculum that allows for

independent and cooperative learning with local students and online students alike. Although our online high

school uses the same rigorous curriculum, it does so with new and emerging distance learning technologies to

provide personalized instruction. Burnt River Online School will be able to meet the needs of an assortment of

21st century students by providing them with personal individualized instruction that focuses on skills such as

self-directed learning skills, innovative technology literacy, time management and personal responsibility.

Unique to Burnt River Online School is that students will be able to get face to face contact and “seat time” with

our highly qualified instructors through a variety of emerging technologies. All of these elements make Burnt

River Charter School an excellent choice for a high quality education.

Mission Statement

At Howard Street, we believe that every child has special gifts and unique potential. It is the responsibility of

the School, the family, and the community to individually and collectively care for and support each student's

achievement. It is each student's responsibility to actively participate in learning, within and without the

classroom, and within and without the School. The School believes that literacy in the English language and a

second language, learning and experience in the fine and performing arts, and the academic and experiential

exposure to scientific, mathematical and technological discovery are vital elements of middle school education.

The School serves the individual student, meeting the needs of the learner. Teachers and administrators are

responsible for curriculum and program development. A constructive, selfless, contributory partnership among

students, teachers, parents, and community resources ensures focus on the mission of the School. Respect and

responsibility guide the School's decisions and actions. Howard Street is a model for curriculum and program

innovation, teaching, governance, support for professional development of staff and School-Community

collaboration.
