    The bill I chose was bill number 2276. This bill is designed to make it so a child in the third grade will not be able to pass the third grade unless they are able to read at a 3rd grade level. So far, the bill was introduced to the House Jan. 11, and referred to Education on Jan. 21.

    Senate bill 742 would make it so that illegal immigrants who grew up in oregon could still go to an oregon college and pay in state tuition. This would greatly increase the high school graduation rate and success of immigrants in oregon, as they would have much more motivation to get through high school and go on to college. This article is about some of the controversies around the bill.
