Gov. Kate Brown, the Oregon Democrat, signed a bill last month with little fanfare that drops the requirement that high school students prove proficiency in reading, writing or math, before graduation, a report said.
reported that the governor has seemed to avoid discussing Senate Bill 744. Her move to sign the bill was"not public until recently, because her office did not hold a signing ceremony or issue press release." The paper also pointed out that the bill was first signed on July 14 but not added into the state’s database until July 29 due to a glitch in the system.In June, state lawmakers voted to approve the bill that suspended the requirements for students for three years,.
The KATU report pointed out that Republicans have come out against the bill and claim that it lowers"expectations for our kids." But there was some bipartisan support.Charles Boyle, the deputy communications director from Brown’s office, told the paper in an email that staff from the governor’s office informed legislative staffers about the bill's signing on the day it was passed.
"Oregon schools were among the last in the country to reopen to in-person instruction during the pandemic," "Our legislators should be focused on how to help students regain the ground they’ve lost after a year and a half of distance learning and hybrid instruction – not on lowering our standards."Get all the stories you need-to-know from the most powerful name in news delivered first thing every morning to your inbox
