Senate Education Committee sends bill on standardized student-data transfer to budget committee
Summary
Senate Bill 3-12, which would require the Oregon Department of Education to create a standardized method for transferring student information from school districts to ODE and takes effect on passage, was moved with a due-pass recommendation to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means and approved by the committee.
Senate Bill 3-12, which directs the Oregon Department of Education to develop and implement a standardized method for transferring student information from school districts to ODE and declares an emergency, was moved to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means by prior reference on a committee vote March 31.
The bill’s summary was read for the committee by staff, and Vice Chair Weber moved the bill “with the due pass recommendation to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means for the prior reference.” After brief discussion and one member voicing opposition on grounds of local control, the committee called the roll and the motion passed. The clerk recorded affirmative votes from Senator Gelser Blue, Senator Sullivan, Vice Chair Weber and Chair Frederick and a no vote from Senator Robinson.
Proponents argued the bill creates a uniform process for the transfer of student records to ODE. No amendment or changes to the measure were taken on the floor of the committee; the committee closed the work session and referred the bill to budget review.
