OEIB and Achievement Compacts

The Oregon Education Investment Board recently approved achievement compacts for school districts, community colleges, and the public universities. The purpose of the compacts is to focus on outcomes in order to better align Oregon’s education system toward achievement of the 40/40/20 goal and college and career readiness; to focus and inform state investment and local budget and program decisions to achieve these outcomes; and to showcase best practices and promote collaboration among community colleges and our education partners. Community College Boards of Education are required to enter into the compacts annually by July 1 beginning with the 2012-13 academic year.
