Student Services

The Student Success Act of 2019 created the potential to dramatically improve the equity of the state’s K–12 education system by significantly investing in programs that support historically underserved students and improve all students’ mental health. Each district has written a plan that has been approved by their local school boards and the Oregon Department of Education to utilize the SSA funds allocated to them. These specific plans are incorporated into a larger Integrated Plan inclusive of several other improvement initiatives and funding streams.

Clackamas ESD is familiar with all of the plans in our region, and our Comprehensive Integrated Support Plan is designed specifically to support our component districts in successful implementation of their plans. We collaborate closely with our district colleagues to provide technical assistance in meeting their expanded educational goals.
