LGBTQ2SIA+ Student Success

Senate Bill 52 (2021) allocated $2.1M in funding for the implementation of the LGBTQ2SIA+ Student Success Plan for the 2021-2023 biennium. The LGBTQ2SIA+ Student Success Plan was written to address barriers to educational success for Oregonian students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, queer, questioning, Two Spirit, intersex, asexual, nonbinary, and the myriad of marginalized gender identities and sexual orientations represented by the (+). This Student Success Plan establishes a framework for creating safe, inclusive and welcoming schools for LGBTQ2SIA+ students.

Through this program, the Oregon Department of Education awards grants to community-based organizations, culturally specific organizations, early learning hubs, providers of early learning services, school districts, education service districts, public charter schools, Tribal governments, post-secondary institutions of education, or a consortium of these entities to implement strategies and objectives outlined in the plan.
