Overview
This is a federally funded program which supports the Statewide School Facility Assessments by allowing ODE to hire enough contractors to assess the State in two years rather than five.
Another detail of this program is to increase the capacity of States to support high-need local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools in leveraging other available Federal, State, and local resources. Oregon identifies high need LEAs by those who have not passed a bond and/or have higher than the State average of poverty.
