Roseburg Schools will receive full funding through the Oregon Department of Education’s Summer Learning Grant program following a state review process involving the Governor’s Office.

The three-year grant is expected to provide nearly $1 million annually to support summer literacy and math programs serving more than 1,100 students each year.

“Immediately after learning that funding for summer learning was not initially granted to our district, I contacted the Governor’s Office to express the significant need for these resources in our community,” said Superintendent Jared Cordon. “I’ve seen the incredible things students can accomplish when they have the right support, and I will continue advocating to make sure they have the tools they need to succeed. This is a major win for our students and families. We are incredibly grateful they will now have access to these important learning opportunities, and we’re excited to continue supporting students throughout the summer as we prepare them for a strong start to the 2026-27 school year.”

Summer learning opportunities are designed to reduce summer learning loss and provide additional academic support for students with the greatest needs. Student eligibility is based on achievement data, though all incoming kindergarten students will be eligible to participate.

Sign-up information has already been shared with qualifying families of current students. Parents who are unsure about eligibility are encouraged to contact their child’s school for additional information. Registration is required by May 26.

Program dates include:

• Incoming kindergarten students: Mondays-Thursdays, July 20-31
• Students currently in Grades K-7: Mondays-Thursdays, July 6-31

Transportation and meals will be provided. Optional afternoon programming will be available through the Boys & Girls Club of the Umpqua Valley for students currently in Grades K-7.

Roseburg Schools was initially not included in the state’s approved funding list. Following concerns raised by impacted districts across Oregon about the consistency of the funding process, state leaders expanded funding to include additional qualifying districts, including Roseburg Schools.

Additional program details, schedules and participation information will continue to be shared directly with families in the coming weeks.
