| Abstract: | The Student Investment Account (SIA) was established with the passage of the Student Success Act (SSA) ORS 327.175 in May 2019. The SIA provides all Oregon school districts, eligible charter schools, Youth Corrections Education Programs (YCEP), and Juvenile Detention Education Programs (JDEP) with access to non-competitive grant funds from the SIA when they have complied with application requirements set forth by the legislature and administered by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). The SIA receives at least 50% of the funds collected and deposited in the Fund for Student Success. SIA grants are established for two purposes: (1) meeting students' mental or behavioral health needs and (2) improving academic outcomes and reducing academic disparities for students of color, students with disabilities, emerging bilingual students, and students navigating poverty, homelessness, and foster care and any other student groups that have historically experienced academic disparity as determined by the State Board of Education (SBE) by rule. The student groups set out in the SIA are referred to in ODE communications and guidance as "focal student groups,'' which will be used throughout this document. This annual report provides an update on program implementation in the 2024-25 school year, the investment of resources, an analysis of impact of investments, and a report on the 2025-27 application process. This report also marks an update of ODE's integration of ODE programs, a significant effort to further operationally align efforts within the agency that share common elements and common goals. School districts and eligible SIA grantees submitted the first applications in Spring 2023 for the 2023-26 school years and set performance growth goals through the 2027 school year. In Spring 2025, grantees submitted a second application and updated plan for the 2025-29 school years representing updates to the first plans and the integration of three additional ODE programs: Career Connected Learning, Early Literacy Success School District Grants, and Federal School Improvement for Comprehensive/Targeted Support. This report focuses on the impact of the SIA grants through the 2024-25 school year, which is the second year of a four-year plan, with updated every two years. However, SIA grants are an integral part of the integrated programs and thus, the report will address other aspects of this integration as well. Additionally, the passage of the Education Accountability Act in 2025 (SB141) will further ODE's agency-wide efforts to effectively and operationally align even more programs with the goal of reducing administrative burden for school districts and other grantees and bringing focused attention on supporting student success across all programs. |
