Update: Fair School Funding Plan – Substitute House Bill 305

10/13/2020

With support in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, the hope is that the Fair School Funding Plan is passed before the end of the year. Considering this unprecedented time, plus the fact that we are in the middle of an election season, the scheduling of testimony has been challenging. Rest assured, efforts in support of Substitute House Bill (HB) 305 are moving forward!

A companion bill is likely to be introduced in the Senate. However, hearings are not likely to be held until immediately after the November election. The Legislative Service Commission (LSC) is expected to release the Analysis and Fiscal Notes for the substitute bill soon.

Thank you to OASBO members for your contributions and sustained commitment to the success of the Fair School Funding Plan. We urge members to continue to contact both your House and Senate members in support of the Fair School Funding Plan and to push for its passage before the end of the year.  

Details will be shared on the OASBO Advocacy Hub as soon as they become available.
