OAR 705-010-0035: Completion and Execution of Achievement Compacts

(1) The governing body of each education entity must complete and execute its achievement compact with the Board annually by the following dates: (a) For school districts and education service districts, by October 15. (b) For community colleges, public universities and the Oregon Health and Science University, by June 30. (2) Completion means that the governing body shall identify a target number and percentage of students for achievement of the outcomes, measures of progress and goals specified in the achievement compact for the fiscal year, as directed by the Board. The Board may waive the requirement to identify both a target number and percentage of students and require either a number or percentage for specific outcome measures, depending on the specifications of the compacts it approves. (3) Education entities may provide a range of target numbers and percentages, but the Board shall use the lowest figure of any range provided. (4) Education entities may provide target numbers and percentages for years beyond the next year. (5) Execution of an achievement compact requires the signature of the chair or president of the governing board or that of its chief executive officer and its submission to the Board. Electronic signature is permitted. (6) Community colleges, public universities and the Oregon Health Sciences Universities may submit executed achievement compacts by electronic means. School districts and education service districts must complete achievement compacts through the Oregon Department of Education’s secure web-based portal designated for that purpose.
