School Improvement Act Funds Input Needed
The Oregon Legislature approved additional state funding for K-12 education in their last legislative session. The funds may be used for programs and improvements in the following areas: Creating a well-rounded education for students, providing behavioral supports for schools, reducing class sizes, and/or providing more learning time. If you would like to make a suggestion for the best use of this investment to improve education in the Klamath Falls City Schools, please email your ideas to the superintendent at this email address: hillyerp@kfalls.k12.or.us. You may also call him at 541-883-4700 ext. 1. Thank you in advance for any ideas you wish to share with us to maximize the impact of these funds
