Hello LCMCS Community! 

We have been closely following the progress of HB 3444 which would increase funding for Charter Schools in the state. This bill would have the potential to significantly increase LCMCS's funding and therefore the resources and services we are able to provide to your students. 

Now our partners at the Oregon Coalition of Community Charter Schools share this update:

Exciting news!! Our priority legislation, HB 3444 is scheduled for a public hearing on Wednesday, March 12th at 3pm in the House Education Committee. The bill (and a clarifying amendment that ensures ALL public charters are included), increases the State School Fund pass through for ALL public charter schools to 95%

We, charter school supporters, have worked tirelessly this legislative session to push Legislators to pay attention to charter school funding. NOW IS OUR CHANCE. RSVP here to join the public hearing!

How can you be involved in this important public hearing? 
We need to turn out AS MANY charter school supporters as possible to:

• provide live testimony (in person or virtual); 
• submit letters of support to the House Education Committee
• pack the committee hearing room with charter school champions
