NCSD’s Involvement with Student Success Act

This page provides an overview of NCSD's efforts related to the Student Success Act (SSA), which allocates approximately $1 billion annually to Oregon's public schools. One of the SSA's requirements is that school districts engage stakeholders as part of an ongoing, multi-phase process to apply for funding. A summary of NCSD's engagement efforts, along with important dates related to the SSA follows. The content on this page is refreshed frequently. (updated: mid-Feb. 2020)
