HISTORY OF OREGON’S CHARTER SCHOOL LAW
In 1999, Oregon became the thirty-fifth state to enact charter school legislation. The form of charter
school legislation varies widely from state-to-state. Oregon’s charter laws are a reflection of both the
broader national and state policy context during which the laws were enacted, as well as the
particular path the legislative debates and discussions followed.
Education Reform Context
Following the landmark “Nation at Risk” report in 1983, 1 many states and localities embarked on
efforts to reform their public schools and school systems. The report included several major areas of
recommendations, including the following:
• Establishing state and local graduation requirements;
• Establishing rigorous and measurable standards and expectations for students;
• Increasing instructional time and the amount of time devoted to addressing basic subjects;
• Upgrading the quality of teacher preparation and the teaching profession; and
• Holding educators and elected officials accountable for the performance of education
systems
Though these recommendations enjoyed significant public and political support, and spurred many
states to initiate reform efforts and legislation, implementing them proved more challenging than
many had anticipated.
As a result, the late 1980s and early 1990s were marked by growing frustration in many sectors
regarding the apparently slow pace of reform and change within public education systems. Many
frustrated observers began to look for alternative reform tools. Deregulation and market-based
competition presented a promising picture to some reform advocates. In the 1970s and 1980s, major
industries such as airlines, telecommunications, and energy were deregulated with dramatic and rapid
result. Though these deregulation efforts had many unintended consequences, they were generally
understood to have led to intense competition, lower prices, and a much broader (if confusing) array
of choices for consumers.
Several individuals and policy makers began to focus on market and deregulatory efforts within the
public education sector. In Minnesota, for example, reform advocates successfully pressed for
legislation to establish new laws to give parents and students increased choices within the public
education system. These included laws to permit students to opt to attend public schools in nonresident districts and to attend post-secondary institutions at the expense of their “home” K-12
school district. They were seen as a less radical alternative to full-blown public voucher
arrangements enabling the state to capture some of the market leverage of consumer choice, but
exercised within a context of public operating principles and public oversight. These public school
choice options, however, initially proved somewhat anemic due to the lack of genuinely different
choices and educational options. Minnesota’s policy makers began to look for methods to enable a
broader array of instructional options within the public system.

Origins and Expansion of the Charter School Concept
In an effort to broaden the supply of new schooling options, Minnesota was the first state to enact
charter school legislation in 1991. The charter school concept, however, originated in various places
much earlier. Discussion and debate continues over what “charter schools” are and should be and
these debates were and remain an integral part of the discussions surrounding Oregon’s charter law.
Part of the charter concept originated with Ray Budde, an education professor whose 1974 paper,
“Education by Charter” and 1988 book, “Education by Charter: Restructuring School Districts”2
advocated for restructuring of school districts by moving authority from the central office to
teachers. Early advocates of charter schools in Minnesota had a subtly, but significantly different
concept of “charter schools,” though they used the same “charter school” terminology.
The Minnesota advocates defined charter schools as a state-level, rather than district-level, policy
change. Under this definition, “charter schools” was a state policy that permitted the creation of new
forms of public schools that could be authorized and operated outside of the traditional school
district framework. According to charter advocate Ted Kolderie, the central charter idea, “is to offer
change-oriented educators or others the opportunity to go either to the local school board or to
some other public body for a contract under which they would set up an autonomous (and therefore
performance-based) public school that students could choose to attend without charge.”3 This
Minnesota version was a more radical, and arguably fundamentally different approach from what
Budde had advocated and was specifically designed to permit change to occur outside of the
traditional school district-controlled structure.
After Minnesota enacted the first charter school law in 1991, California became the second state to
enact charter legislation in 1992, borrowing heavily from Minnesota’s law with a variety of local
adaptations. Charter legislation began to spread rapidly in 1993 with three to eight additional states
added each year until 1999 when Oregon’s charter law [Senate Bill (SB) 100, which became Oregon
Revised Statute (ORS) Chapter 338] was enacted. As of June 2011, forty-one states and Washington,
D.C. have charter school laws; states without charter school laws are Washington, Montana, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kentucky, Alabama, West Virginia, Vermont.
Federal Influences
The spread of charter legislation can be partly accounted for by encouragement from the federal
government. In 1991, Minnesota Senator David Durenberger, a liberal Republican with ties to
Minnesota’s charter school advocates, introduced legislation to amend the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to create a federal grant program to support the planning and
start-up of charter schools. Durenberger’s original proposal was not enacted, but with the bipartisan
support of Durenberger, Senator Joseph Lieberman, and the Clinton Administration. The Public
Charter Schools Program was incorporated into the 1994 reauthorization of ESEA. The program
has expanded rapidly from $6 million in 1994 to over $216 million per year in 2005, fueling the startup of hundreds of schools nationally. The rapid expansion of federal charter school start-up and
implementation funding also helped with efforts to enact charter schools legislation in many states,
including Oregon.

ORIGINS OF OREGON’S CHARTER SCHOOL LAW
Charter school bills were introduced during the three Legislative Sessions prior to Oregon’s passage
of its charter school law during the 1999 Legislative Session. Charter school legislation very nearly
passed in the 1995 and 1997 Legislative Sessions. Between 1993 and 1999, the charter school
concept built momentum and key education stakeholders wrestled over what the most suitable
charter school provisions would be for Oregon.
After years of dialogue around charter school legislation and months of deliberations around Senate
Bill 100, Oregon’s Charter Schools Act was signed into law on May 27, 1999 by the President of the
Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Governor, and became effective on
that date. Once enacted, it became Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) Chapter 338.
OREGON’S CHARTER SCHOOLS ACT
Legislative Intent and Goals
ORS Chapter 338 plainly articulates the Legislative and intent of Oregon’s Charter Schools Act:
“It is the intent of this chapter that new types of schools, called public charter
schools, be created as a legitimate avenue for parents, educators and community
members to take responsible risks to create new, innovative and more flexible ways
of educating children within the public school system. The Legislative Assembly
seeks to create an atmosphere in Oregon’s public school system where research and
development of new learning opportunities are actively pursued. The provisions of
this chapter should be interpreted liberally to support the goals of this section and to
advance a renewed commitment by this state to the mission, goals and diversity of
public education. It is the intent that public charter schools may serve as models and
catalysts for the improvement of other public schools and the public school system.
The goals of public charter schools shall be to:
(1) Increase student learning and achievement;
(2) Increase choices of learning opportunities for students;
(3) Better meet individual student academic needs and interests;
(4) Build stronger working relationships among educators, parents and other community
members;
(5) Encourage the use of different and innovative learning methods;
(6) Provide opportunities in small learning environments for flexibility and innovation,
which may be applied, if proven effective, to other public schools;
(7) Create new professional opportunities for teachers;
(8) Establish additional forms of accountability for schools; and
(9) Create innovative measurement tools.”4

Charter School Curriculum Orientations
Beginning in the 2009-2010 school year, each Oregon charter school was categorized by
type: 1) alternative, 2) conversion, 3) progressive, 4) traditional, or 5) vocation. With these
categories or typology, it became clear some schools have characteristics of multiple types. To
more accurately compare schools, the Oregon Department of Education has adjusted the five
types to include nine curriculum orientations to further categorize charter schools in the state.
In the fall of 2011 charter schools were requested to determine the type and orientation
that best fit their school and curriculum format. The information included in this directory was
self-reported from the charter school; made available to the public and may help prospective
parents understand the primary type and curricular focus of the school. Charter schools often
find multiple types or orientations fit their school. You may find a charter school has reported
they are a Progressive: Child-Centered charter school even though there is a strong
environmental (Content Specialties) or engineering (Trade Specialties) focus as well.
The following table outlines the curriculum orientation with the type of schools.

Mission Statement
At Howard Street, we believe that every child has special gifts and unique potential. It is the
responsibility of the School, the family, and the community to individually and collectively care for
and support each student's achievement. It is each student's responsibility to actively participate in
learning, within and without the classroom, and within and without the School. The School
believes that literacy in the English language and a second language, learning and experience in the
fine and performing arts, and the academic and experiential exposure to scientific, mathematical and
technological discovery are vital elements of middle school education. The School serves the
individual student, meeting the needs of the learner. Teachers and administrators are responsible for
curriculum and program development. A constructive, selfless, contributory partnership among
students, teachers, parents, and community resources ensures focus on the mission of the School.
Respect and responsibility guide the School's decisions and actions. Howard Street is a model for
curriculum and program innovation, teaching, governance, support for professional development of
staff and School-Community collaboration.
