The State of Oregon, acting by and through the Department of Education (“Agency”), is issuing this Request for Grant Applications (“RFA”) to provide funding for Summer Duty Extended Contracts in school districts to allow school district personnel to manage approved Agriculture Science and Technology Programs of Study during the summer months between school years as charged by the Oregon Legislature in House Bill 2444 (HB 2444) of the 2019 legislative session. The grant funding available through this RFA will expand the current level of services provided by school districts in the form of FFA Summer Duty Extended Contracts for licensed agriculture teachers. Funding is intended to remove barriers associated with any student that is enrolled within a state approve Agriculture Science Technology Program of Study from fully participating within the Oregon FFA Association activities.
