"Pay for Delay: Compensating Parents for Prolonged School Closures" - February 4th Policy Picnic
from Cascade CounterPoint · host Cascade Policy Institute
With teachers’ unions slow-walking the governor’s guidance for reopening schools, it is looking more likely that many of Oregon’s largest school districts will not return to full-time in-person instruction for all students this year. In Cascade Policy Institute's February online Policy Picnic, Vice President of Research Dr. Eric Fruits argues that families should be compensated for the time and resources they must spend to manage their kids’ online public schooling. In this virtual presentation, he outlines the state law that could allow for such compensation and identify a readily available funding source.
