Support Fair Funding for Oregon Public Schools Students
Oregon public charter schools receive 48 cents for every 1 state dollar
that district run schools receive.
​A new report by the respected research firm ECONorthwest compared funding for charter schools to their district-run counterparts. The report found that Oregon public charter schools receive less than half the funding compared to their district counterparts.
​
Oregon's charter school law shortchanges public charter school students, and it's up to the Oregon legislature to fix this. All students in Oregon's public education system should have access to fairly funded public education options that meet their needs.
Key Findings
Over the last ten years, even as charter school enrollment has gone up, the gap in their funding relative to district-run schools has grown.​​
