Mackenzie Worthington, testifying for Senate President Rob Wagner, called the bill \"a technical fix to Senate Bill 1502 from the 2024 session\" and said the intent is to limit the recording requirement to the principal governing body and to permit audio-only posting where broadband limits make video impractical. Susan Myers, executive director of the Oregon Government Ethics Commission, told the committee the change reflects concerns that the prior bill's language could be read to require recordings for many advisory committees and other bodies the legislature did not intend to cover.

Adrienne Anderson of the Oregon School Boards Association and Morgan Allen of COSA both testified in support, saying the change will provide clarity for local boards and for training on compliance. Morgan Allen noted the bill includes language making the clarification retroactive to Jan. 1, 2025, so that entities that relied on the original statute during the first months of 2025 will not face enforcement actions.

No vote was taken; the bill was heard in public testimony and remains under committee consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Committee On Education 05/05/2025 3:00 PM","oneSentenceSummary","Senate Bill 1109A would clarify that only the main governing bodies of school districts, ESDs, community college boards and public university boards must post recordings of their meetings online, witnesses told the House Education Committee on May 5.","taxTitle","Education, House of Representatives, Committees, Legislative, Oregon","taxId",17513,"location","Oregon","headline","","shortSummary",{"_32":76,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":77,"_40":78,"_42":79,"_44":80,"_46":81,"_48":82,"_50":83,"_52":84,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":85,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":86,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6251738,"Bill would require licensing standards before districts use public funds for out-of-state student placements",440,312000,752000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3193494-00d5ec177aa1246532f53adf432d1a95&start=312&end=752","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3193494-00d5ec177aa1246532f53adf432d1a95/thumbnail_312000.jpg","/articles/6251738/Oregon/Bill-would-require-licensing-standards-before-districts-use-public-funds-for-out-of-state-student-placements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6251738-d3c1c3be01acd0f4ddcd6e657ac2743f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770041505&Signature=B2MVzjcxAMzKTnMYupVah5YX0XgAu4K50oA7qkm48afL7jbVczEujJ79b171MRhXxhPhC5ydM4057ram220GfW-~akLTrBm-uAdkpdXvJNUCC5zkhSziDRdrfYRSznJyehZASLgH1Fv8fc3PGH9f6cStcco3AbocSeY0c2gWnSeonteSLxO~4nB3Ye1WykjuKLGhro29ahLChY6G8qHOLhjrKeFzQSVsiMsItxS7kDurBlnUQ9AvqMEaIHXyeLpat~vQnPHNyUWbeyKjHO-lhg-ITGecMmFjrkDMF8y1KXuWQNkYWDmH2w6n1vLI362CbM7B~89WsRQhKORSU19X9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate Bill 982 would require school districts to ensure out-of-state residential placements meet Oregon-equivalent licensing and safety standards before using public funds to place students there, State Senator Sarah Gelser Blouin told the House Education Committee at a May 5 public hearing.

Lisa, the committee staff member who gave the measure summary, said the bill \"establishes standards under which school districts may use public funds to place a student in an out of state agency. The standards include licensing criteria and the inclusion of certain provisions in the school district's contract with the agency.\" She also noted the measure \"declares an emergency and takes effect on passage.\"

Senator Gelser Blouin, the bill sponsor, said: \"What this bill does not do is create a new pathway to require school districts to pay to put children in private placements, whether in the state or outside of the state.\" She described the measure as protective of students and school districts, saying districts should have visibility into and assurance about the safety of placements that public funds might cover following due-process or court orders under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

The bill would require school districts to review contracts and ensure the out-of-state setting meets residential-care standards similar to those applied to in-state residential programs — including basic living conditions, access to hygiene and food, and whether students are allowed to contact family — before the district would use public funds for the placement. The measure excludes placements in out-of-state public state schools for the deaf or blind if they meet equivalent standards.

Committee members asked about how the bill interacts with existing processes and liability. Senator Gelser Blouin explained that parents may unilaterally place their child in a private out-of-state residential school and then seek reimbursement via due process or court order; the bill would not create a new reimbursement pathway but would require a safety check before public funds are used. She noted the bill is prospective and does not affect existing placements. Lisa confirmed the Department of Human Services may charge school districts for licensing investigation and oversight costs, describing those charges as reimbursement for actual travel and review costs rather than a licensing fee.

Senator Gelser Blouin recounted past problems in out-of-state residential placements, citing Mount Bachelor Academy and examples from other states where inspection found unsafe or abusive practices. She said the bill aims to give districts and state oversight entities the ability to verify conditions and to make licensing findings visible to protect students and reduce future liability.

No committee vote was taken; the measure was heard in public testimony and remains in committee for further consideration.","Senate Bill 982 would require school districts to ensure out-of-state residential placements meet Oregon-equivalent licensing and safety standards before using public funds, State Senator Sarah Gelser Blouin told the House Education Committee at a May 5 public hearing.",{"_32":88,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":89,"_40":90,"_42":91,"_44":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6251743,"House Education Committee advances bills to post Healthy and Safe Schools results online and standardize absence coding",353,53000,406000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3193494-00d5ec177aa1246532f53adf432d1a95&start=53&end=406","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3193494-00d5ec177aa1246532f53adf432d1a95/thumbnail_53000.jpg","/articles/6251743/Oregon/House-Education-Committee-advances-bills-to-post-Healthy-and-Safe-Schools-results-online-and-standardize-absence-coding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6251743-72300b5a20b2e29b342ff455ea702b8f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770041505&Signature=iUo2jhpS9HTjQrkBtJiI5O7P6JN~3TR4SQLHBqM0BLmYl-00eFRKB15nwvKZrLPu8C7-19UPWkdnPcjPUpnLpHtg17ToF77C~MJ1i4cS9S3hwxfTOp5gtengGSp0yAhA0IIiMVJEtvF4IaUST1hKgOYEbZUub-z6yGvE6n9WpVWTNj~PDWtkDAbGh3XUDyyduS8d6yZmc28FwLmd-4ytcw54MDogclcBQXifaJyc8ZoTcJv~djwqKIS6PnCt5hDjjsfDhh8QMVod0FEJK5L57vSEJypLDmKTDBoES0zaFzdpAGI78VMM~Y6TVxorhuemoIbv2dBnoHarpuJOGc9jVA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Education Committee moved two education bills to the floor during a May 5 work session, advancing Senate Bill 905 and Senate Bill 315A with due-pass recommendations and no objections from committee members.

Senate Bill 905 would remove the requirement that districts, education service districts and schools provide printed copies of the Healthy and Safe School test results and annual statements and instead require districts or schools to “maintain a website to post test results and annual statements,” according to a staff summary delivered by Chris, the committee staff member assigned to the measure. Representative Hudson volunteered to serve as the House carrier for the bill.

Senate Bill 315A directs the Oregon Department of Education to review and make recommendations for how school districts record student absences, develop a common coding system for absences, and submit a summary report and recommended changes to the Legislature and State Board of Education by May 31, 2026. The staff summary said the Legislative Fiscal Office issued a minimal fiscal impact statement and the Legislative Revenue Office issued a no revenue impact statement. Vice Chair McIntyre volunteered to carry the bill.

Both motions passed with no objection. The committee recorded two excused absences during the SB 905 vote (Representative Winn and Representative Ruiz) and two excused absences during the SB 315A vote (Representative Ruiz and Representative Wawen, per the hearing record). No substantive floor debate on either bill took place in committee beyond the staff summaries and the formal motions.

The measures now proceed to the House floor where further debate and votes may occur.","The House Education Committee moved two education bills to the floor during a May 5 work session, advancing Senate Bill 905 and Senate Bill 315A with due-pass recommendations and no objections from committee members.","actionData","errors"]
