The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) continues to effectively implement the High School Success program created by the passage of Measure 98, according to an audit released Dec. 5 by Secretary of State Shemia Fagan.
“Education must be a top priority for leaders in our state,” said Secretary Fagan.
Since the previous audit of Measure 98 in 2020, ODE has developed and released a new document integrating the guidance and applications for six agency programs, including the High School Success program. The agency also fully implemented four of the recommendations from the previous audit, and partially implemented a fifth, which is expected to be completed by summer 2023.
Oregon Ballot Measure 98, approved by voters in November 2016, established the High School Graduation and College and Career Readiness Fund. The measure’s intent was to provide targeted funding to address Oregon’s low high school graduation rate and expand career and technical programs and college-level course offerings.
