26th District Oregon State Republican Senator Chuck Thomsen is introducing legislation that would assist families and students who have been dealing with school closures.  Under the legislation, a Restorative Equity Education Fund would be created and dedicate $3 million to give low-income students access to financial assistance to pay for summer tutoring.  To make up for lost learning, families could qualify for up to $2,000 to pay for tutoring.  Hours spent in tutoring would count towards graduation for high school students.  Others would qualify for a tax credit to put the cost of tutoring within reach for middle-class families.  Thomsen is the vice-chair of the Senate Education Committee.
