Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek high-fives children during a visit to a school in Vernonia. She is proposing changes to the way the state calculates the amount of money schools receive that she says could add an estimated half a million dollars to the total.
Hoping to head off the biannual brawl over how much money Oregon’s public schools will receive, Gov. Tina Kotek is proposing a trio of largely technical changes to the state’s education funding formula.
Her office estimates that the formula revisions will generate an additional $515 million or so for schools in the 2025-2027 biennium. That would represent an increase of perhaps 4% to 5% over what the current formula would deliver.
