---------------------------------------------------------------------- From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- June 23, 2003 Dear HSLDA Members and Friends, In a major disappointment to home educators in Oregon, on June 16, 2003, Governor Ted Kulongoski vetoed legislation that would have removed unnecessary state oversight of homeschools. Senate Bill 761 had passed both the Oregon Senate and House of Representatives by healthy margins. Unfortunately, there are not enough votes in the House to attempt an override of the Governor's veto. Many thanks to all of you who were faithful to write, email, and call your state legislators. We are encouraged by the great progress made during this legislative session and believe the foundation has been laid for enactment of a bill in the future. Oregon homeschool leaders plan to have a similar bill introduced in the next legislative session in 2005. To see more information on this and other bills HSLDA is monitoring in Oregon, visit our website at: http://www.hslda.org/hs/state/OR/default.asp. Sincerely, Dewitt T.
