During the last legislative session the Oregon legislature amended ORS 329.105 relating to school and district report cards. These amendments included a revision in the school and district report card distribution requirements. In response, the State Board of Education adopted at its December meeting a change to OAR 581-022-1060 that provides more options for school and district report card distribution. The new distribution rules are as follows.

By January 15 of each year, school districts shall make a copy of the state provided school and school district performance report available to the parent(s) or guardian(s) of each child enrolled in a public school in the school district by doing one or more of the following:

(a) Mailing a copy;

(b) Electronically sending a copy; or

(c) Providing a link to a state or district web site containing the reports and also making copies available in local schools, libraries, parents centers, community centers, or other public locations easily accessible to parents and others.
