SB1532 directs the Oregon Department of Education to create and implement a statewide education plan for students who are asylum seekers, refugees, or immigrants, regardless of their status. It includes forming an advisory group, awarding grants to various educational and community organizations, and submitting biennial progress reports to the legislature.
The Oregon State House of Representatives passed SB1532 on March 6, 2024 by a vote of 46 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the nays because persons who enter the United States illegally—which, by definition, is a crime—ought not to be permitted sanctuary or residency in Oregon, let alone be considered for taxpayer funded education plans. We encourage parents to remove their children from government-run schools and seek sound alternatives, such as homeschooling or patriotic private institutions such as FreedomProject Academy, which operate without government funding.
