An eventful state legislative session finally over, policymakers were pleased to see a wide range of education bills make it to the finish line. After the six-week walkout by Oregon Senate Republicans ended on June 15, the last 10 days of the session generated a tidal wave of legislation. Some of the bills negotiated and passed during the last week included education legislation that will impact schools across the state. Senate President Rob Wagner, who represents Lake Oswego in Salem, shared his perspective on what he viewed as victories for students, teachers and Oregonians in this session's education bills.
