Bill > SJR201

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the Oregon Constitution to establish a parental right to choose their child's school, including public schools outside of their assigned attendance zone, and to opt for nonpublic education such as private schools or homeschooling. For parents choosing nonpublic education, the state would establish "school choice accounts" funded with a significant portion of the state's per-pupil funding, which parents can use for a wide range of educational expenses including tuition, tutoring, materials, and transportation. This proposed amendment, which aims to give parents more control and flexibility in their children's education, will be put to a vote of the people at the next general election.
