State & US Representatives

Care about your neighborhood school? Share your thoughts and ideas with your State and U.S. Lawmakers

The Oregon Legislature meets annually and makes decisions on education bills that have a major impact on the state’s educational system and your neighborhood school.
State lawmakers are also responsible for creating a state budget.

A majority of the Gresham-Barlow School District’s funding comes from the state of Oregon.

The school district also receives funding from the federal government for programs such as:

• Title I (Federal funding for schools/districts with a high percentage of low-income families.)
• Special Education (Serving students with disabilities.)
• English as a Second Language (Serving English language learners.)

It is important for lawmakers to hear from the people they represent regarding:

• School funding
• Educational priorities
• Education bills
