Status of Schools Report

Oregon State law (ORS 327.103) requires that all public schools and districts must meet standards set by the State Board of Education. By January 15 of each year, school district superintendents are required by OAR 581-022-1610 Operating Policies and Procedures to report to their communities the district’s standing with respect to all of the standards for Public Elementary and Secondary Schools as set out in Oregon Administrative Rules Chapter 581, Division 22.     An Oregon school district, to be standard, must provide acceptable educational opportunities for all Oregon students who reside in the District.  Each year, to verify compliance with the OAR Chapter 581, Division 22 Standards, school districts submit an Assurance form to the Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction.  Additionally, this year, the form highlighted five OARS located in Chapter 581, Division 22.  The five areas are: OAR 581-022-0606 District Improvement Plan, OAR 581-022-0711 Policies on Reporting Child Abuse, OAR 581-022-1130 Diploma Requirements, OAR 581-022-1210 District Curriculum, and OAR 581-022-1620 Required Instructional Time.  The Fern Ridge School District is in compliance with all standards. The District and School Report Cards are available at each school, at the FRSD office, with a link on our website to the Oregon Department of Education website which contains all district and school report cards, an email will be sent to parents informing them of where to look at the Report Cards, and information will also be included in school newsletters.
