Oregon House lawmakers are scheduled to vote Wednesday on a scaled back proposal to require school districts to negotiate with teachers unions over class sizes only at schools serving a concentration of low-income students. A broader version of the plan that would have required districts to give their teachers union a say on class size at all schools passed the Senate with primarily Democratic .
Oregon school districts have increasingly targeted resources to reduce class sizes and boost other supports in historically underserved schools. Uniform class size mandates would redirect resources to students from more affluent families.
Senate Bill 580, which would require school districts to negotiate with teachers unions over class size, won't significantly reduce class sizes and instead could reduce investment in the kinds of equity initiatives and mental health supports that have been shown to help students, the editorial board writes. But the bill, which passed the Oregon Senate and now sits in a House committee, is a priority of the teachers union, one of Democrats' biggest donors.
