Description:
In 2013, the Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 2013 authorizing the Early Learning Council to create sixteen regional Early Learning Hubs in order to accomplish three goals: (1) create an early childhood system that is aligned, coordinated, and family-centered; (2) ensure that children arrive at school ready to succeed; and (3) ensure that Oregon's young children live in families that are healthy, stable, and attached. House Bill 2013 instructed the Early Learning Council to fund no more than seven Early Learning Hubs during fiscal year 2013-2014 and no more than a total of sixteen Hubs during fiscal year 2014-2015. The Early Learning Council was also made responsible for maintaining continuity of services supported by funds that previously flowed through local Commissions on Children and Families. House Bill 2013 also required Early Learning Council to: "submit a report to the Legislative Assembly no later than February 4, 2015. The report must include: (A) A summary of the results of the Early Learning Hub Demonstration Projects; and (B) Proposed legislation that takes into consideration the results of the Early Learning Hub Demonstration Projects and attempts to increase the effectiveness and successfulness." This report is submitted in compliance with this provision. (author abstract)
