AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to contract with a third-party researcher to conduct a comprehensive study on improving instructional time in K-12 classrooms. The study will explore multiple strategies for enhancing classroom effectiveness, including fully funding research-based behavioral programs (especially for students with individualized education plans), hiring additional support staff like counselors and mental health professionals, providing necessary support materials, and implementing schoolwide behavior management programs. The researchers will also identify legal, regulatory, or procedural obstacles to effective classroom time by consulting with educators, administrators, students, and parents from five rural and five urban schools across different congressional districts. Additionally, the study will estimate the potential costs of implementing these recommendations. The ODE must submit a report of its findings to legislative education committees by September 15, 2026, and the bill includes provisions that will automatically repeal the study mandate on January 2, 2027, with the bill itself taking effect 91 days after the 2025 legislative session adjourns.
