UNIVERSITY ACCESSIBILITY

OSU Outdoor School provides funding to implement outdoor school within the requirements of the law (ORS 327.390). OSU can only award grants to public School Districts, Education Service Districts (ESD) ("district"), or to the four state-sponsored charter schools. Individual schools and local charter schools need to coordinate activities with their district or ESD. Outdoor School definition and requirements can be found within the ORS 327.390... Launched in 1957, outdoor school is an innovative field science program started in Southern Oregon. Within a few short years, pilot programs in other regions of Oregon took hold. In 1965, federal grants aided this process, leading to regional outdoor school programs. Communities across Oregon embraced this chance for students to move from classrooms to the outdoors to learn. By the 1970s, Outdoor school was being offered to students in school districts from the coast to the central high desert.
