Student Success Act
October Staff Information
Introduction:
Signed into law in May of 2019, the Student Success Act is a historic opportunity for Oregon schools. When fully implemented this act will invest approximately $2 billion for early learning and K-12 education, and close to $500 million will go directly to Oregon school districts and eligible charter schools through the Student Investment Account. We anticipate this is approximately 1.7 million for North Santiam School District. This account is a non-competitive grant. The focus of the Student Investment Account is on key areas for improvement – from reducing class size, increasing instructional time, addressing health and safety needs and ensuring a well-rounded education. The law requires school districts to meaningfully engage stakeholders to determine the best investments for students in their local community while explicitly focusing on student mental and behavior health, addressing disparities based on race or disability, and improving teaching and learning conditions.

Continuous Improvement Plan
How Are We Engaging Stakeholders
The Student Success Act (SSA) requires each district to develop specific engagement activities for students of color, students with disabilities, emerging bilingual students and students navigating poverty.
In addition to all the information that will be sent home via our communication system, the ISST Staff will be targeting these groups by making individual phone calls to gather this important stakeholder input.
On October 24, all SHS students will be completing a short input form in guide groups and we have asked principals to engage staff during staff meetings.
