Section 581-022-2130 - Community-Informed Information Gathering Process at Kindergarten
(1)
(a) The Department of Education shall implement a community-informed process at the kindergarten level as part of the statewide assessment system implemented pursuant to ORS 329.485. The process shall allow for information collection that will inform state level decisions about Oregon's early education and child care programs and policies to improve quality and access to programs and promote relationship building among educators, children and families.
(b) Once the Department determines that the information gathering process is scalable statewide, school districts shall support families, students, and educators in participating for all students who are enrolled in kindergarten.
(2) The Department shall work jointly with the Department of Early Learning and Care and in partnership with Oregon community members to develop an anti-racist information gathering process. The process shall collect information in areas determined to be important to Oregon families and educators to inform the Early Childhood Education and Care Sector. The process will be appropriate for all children, including children with disabilities and multilingual learners.
(3) The Department shall work with the Oregon Longitudinal Data Collaborative to include results from the process in the statewide longitudinal data system, as applicable.
