Exploring One Area of Focus for the Future of EduAndYou: Special Education Legislation and Funding in Central Oregon

Hey there! I’m super excited to share with you what’s brewing at EduAndYou this month and beyond. We’re diving deep into something that truly matters: special education legislation and funding in Central Oregon. We’re also kicking off a brand-new series called Letters from the High Desert that you won’t want to miss! So, grab a comfy seat, and let’s explore how we’re can shape the future of education one letter at a time.

Funding Special Education: What We're Talking About

Funding is the backbone of any educational program, and special education is one of many. We will be discussing a lot of changes to special education funding at a state, local, and federal level. But we won't just be talking about it: we are actively working to make a change by highlighting the impact that cuts to funding is having on Central Oregon schools and organizations, as well as emailing local legislators to plead them to continue funding special education programs.

Together, we can help ensure that funding supports the best possible outcomes for every child.

Introducing Our New Series: Letters from the High Desert

We’re launching Letters from the High Desert, a fresh series that brings stories, insights, and voices from Central Oregon’s education community right to your screen. Think of it as a friendly letter from the heart of the High Desert, sharing real experiences and practical advice.

Each letter will cover topics such as:

• Stories or quotes from local schools or organizations.

• Updates on legislation and funding changes.

• Tips for early childhood and education majors who want to get involved with special education funding.

  
  

Our mission is to build a bridge between information and action. We want you to feel empowered, informed, and inspired. And hey, if you have a story or question, we’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out through the chat feature on our website.
