AI Summary

This bill allows school district boards to create policies that enable students to develop vocational skills by performing maintenance tasks within school district facilities. The proposed policy must serve multiple purposes: providing students with work experience and career exploration opportunities through work-study programs, potentially reducing district maintenance costs, and exposing students to a diverse range of work opportunities to help them build a broad set of vocational skills. The bill would add this provision to Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) Chapter 332, which governs school district operations. By enabling students to perform hands-on maintenance work, the legislation aims to provide practical learning experiences that can help students gain valuable job skills, potentially improve their future employability, and offer school districts a cost-effective approach to maintaining their facilities.
