On April 14, Governor Tina Kotek held a press conference to reaffirm her commitment to protecting students from discrimination based on race, national origin, or immigration status in Oregon schools.The point of the announcement was to focus on the implied future threat from President Trump, but discrimination is already occurring in Portland.For the past decade, the Portland Public School district has been providing extra funding to schools in part on the basis of race (2024-2025 Proposed Budget – Volume 2, pp. 4-5). Students who are Black, Hispanic, Native American, or Pacific Islander are automatically characterized as “historically underserved,” which means the schools they attend receive more money. This is true even if their parents are rich and the students themselves are high achievers.For the current school year, the elementary school receiving the most generous funding is Rosa Parks, with $17,891 per student. The school with the least amount of funding is Richmond, at $7,649.At the high school level, Jefferson receives $15,812 per student, while Grant gets $8,109.It's not clear why Portland school parents have been tolerating this for so long. ORS 659.850 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in any public school, and PPS funding is clearly discriminatory.The Governor should stop grandstanding about President Trump, start enforcing civil rights laws in Portland, and put an end to race-based school funding.

The state provides funding to school districts for adult students earning a high school diploma through a virtual program. KSDE established a process for districts to submit adult virtual student credits for funding. We reviewed about 5,900 credits that 9 school districts submitted for funding across 2 years to determine if those credits complied with state statute. Nearly all (99%) the credits the districts submitted appeared to comply with the criteria set in state law, but there were a few exceptions. In total, districts submitted about 55 credits (out of nearly 5,900) that did not comply with statute.KSDE audits the credits that districts submit for adult virtual school funding each year. For half of the districts we reviewed, KSDE did not approve the number of adult virtual credits that were statutorily compliant. KSDE lacked adequate written policies and procedures to help auditors review adult virtual school credits consistently. The department does not consistently follow some of the written policies they do have. The department also lacks written policies for some important audit best practices such as policies to require supervisory review of audit work.The Central Plains school district raised concerns with the results of KSDE's audit of the adult virtual credits they submitted for the 2021-22 school year. We noted a couple problems with how Central Plains creates and monitors transcripts that contributed to some of the issues with the district's audit. Based on our review of Central Plains 2021-22 credits, we determined there were about 500 credits that appeared statutorily compliant that the department did not fund. The difference in our results and the department's is largely because we took different approaches.
