EARLY CHILDHOOD SUSPENSION AND EXPULSION PREVENTION PROGRAM

Short Description

In July 2021, the passing of HB 2166 and SB 236 by Oregon legislature established the Early Childhood Suspension and Expulsion Prevention Program and launched a study on Oregon’s use of suspension and expulsion in early childhood care and education programs. In the 2022 Legislative Session, HB 5202 approved the full $5.8 million funding for the program. The purposes of the Early Childhood Suspension and Expulsion Prevention Program are to:  

  • Reduce the use of suspension, expulsion, and other forms of exclusionary discipline in early care and education (ECE) programs, and  
  • Reduce disparities in the use of suspension, expulsion, and other forms of exclusionary practices in ECE programs based on race, ethnicity, language, ability, or gender.
