All changes and waivers to the Division 22 standards for the 2020-21 school year are set out in OAR 581-022-0104: State Standards for the 2020-21 School Year. Several rules were waived in their entirety: Assessment of Essential Skills, the Kindergarten Assessment and Identification of TAG students. This is indicated on the linked report, as well.
Subsections of multiple rules were also waived or modified for the 2020-21 school year. Waivers include diploma requirements for essential skills, education plan and profile, extended application, and career related learning experiences, as well as required vision and hearing screenings. Specific grade level weekly minimums for PE minutes were also waived; however, each public school student in kindergarten through grade eight should have received physical education throughout the entire school year. And finally, instructional time requirements were modified to allow the inclusion of up to an additional 60 hours for staff professional development and up to an additional 60 hours for parent teacher communication to facilitate student learning, including parent teacher conferences, training, and support for distance learning. This allowance is in addition to the 30 hours that the Instructional Time OAR allows.
