Oregon Governor Tina Kotek issued an executive order. This order aims to prevent school districts from reducing instructional time. Many districts previously shortened school years to address budget shortfalls. The order also stops the Oregon Department of Education from granting waivers. Education groups and school boards expressed concerns about the unfunded mandate.
