Overview
Outdoor School in Oregon
In 2016, the Oregon "Outdoor School" program was a week-long field science curriculum focusing on the environment, natural resources, economic development, and related careers. Participation in Outdoor School varied by school district. Due to budget constraints, many school districts shortened or eliminated Outdoor School.[2]
Initiative design
Measure 99 created an Outdoor School Education Fund with 4 percent of the revenue or between $5.5 and $22 million per year and adjusted for inflation in the Oregon State Lottery Fund. The measure required that withdraws from the State Lottery Fund cannot reduce lottery proceeds dedicated to the restoration and preservation of parks, beaches, watersheds, and native fish and wildlife. The Outdoor School Education Fund was designed to provide Oregon fifth- and sixth-grade students with a week-long outdoor school program. The Oregon State University Extension Service was intended to administer the fund.[1]
State of the ballot measure campaigns
Save Outdoor School for All, the campaign supporting Measure 99, raised $3.31 million. Opponents did not organize a political committee and therefore did not receive contributions. The top donor to the “Yes” campaign was the Gray Family Foundation, which contributed $240,000. Polls indicated that around 69 percent of voters favored Measure 99 prior to the election. Gov. Kate Brown (D) supported the initiative.

Ballot title
The certified ballot title was as follows:[1]
“ | Creates "Outdoor School Education Fund," continuously funded through Lottery, to provide outdoor school programs statewide
Result of "Yes" Vote: "Yes" vote creates separate fund, financed through Oregon Lottery Economic Development Fund and administered by Oregon State University (OSU), to provide outdoor school programs statewide. Result of "No" Vote: "No" vote rejects creation of fund to provide outdoor school programs statewide; retains current law under which OSU administers outdoor school grants if funding available.

Measure creates separate "Outdoor School Education Fund" (Fund) that is financed by Oregon State Lottery money distributed for economic development. Caps annual distributions of Lottery revenues to Fund. Specifies Fund's purpose to provide every Oregon fifth- or sixth-grade student week-long outdoor school program or equivalent. Continuously appropriates Fund to OSU to administer and fund outdoor school programs statewide consistent with current law's grant program criteria; may require Fund dispersal outside of grant program.

Ballot summary
The explanatory statement was as follows:[2]
Ballot Measure 99 requires a portion of lottery-related moneys to be dedicated for the purpose of providing every student in fifth or sixth grade in this state with the opportunity to attend a week-long outdoor school program or an equivalent outdoor education experience that reflects local community needs. Historically, “Outdoor School” is a week-long residential field science program designed to give students the opportunity to study natural sciences and the interrelationship of nature, natural resources, economic development, and career opportunities in Oregon in collaboration with students from other schools. Outdoor school programs have been offered throughout the state since the 1950’s. Due to budget constraints, many school districts have either shortened the length of outdoor school or eliminated it altogether. During the 2015 session, the Oregon Legislative Assembly passed Senate Bill 439, a bill authorizing the Oregon State University Extension Service to support, administer, and fund outdoor school programs throughout the state. Under Senate Bill 439, grants would be made to local school districts and education service districts consistent with the priorities outlined in the bill. However, the Legislative Assembly provided no funding for the program. The measure establishes the Outdoor School Education Fund for the purpose of receiving moneys made available under the measure. Moneys in the fund are appropriated to the Oregon State University Extension Service to support, administer and fund outdoor education programs as authorized by the Legislative Assembly in Senate Bill 439. The measure authorizes the transfer of no more than $22 million annually from the Oregon State Lottery Fund to the Administrative Services Economic Development Fund. The minimum amount will be adjusted each year based on the Consumer Price Index. The measure prohibits any reductions in the amounts of lottery proceeds that are constitutionally dedicated to education or to the restoration and preservation of parks, beaches, watersheds and native fish and wildlife. |
Full text
The full text of the measure was as follows:[2]
The people of the State of Oregon adopt this ACT TO CREATE THE OUTDOOR SCHOOL EDUCATION FUND TO ALLOW ALL OREGON STUDENTS TO ATTEND OUTDOOR SCHOOL, to be made a part of the Oregon Revised Statutes, Chapter 461. Section 1. Findings (1) Since the late 1950s, nearly one million Oregon students have attended Outdoor School, a unique week-long, field science program giving students the opportunity to study natural sciences and responsible use of natural resources in collaboration with students from other schools. (2) Currently, only about half of Oregon students attend Outdoor School. Most remaining programs have been significantly shortened. Rural and lower income districts have been particularly affected. (3) Every Oregon student in the fifth or sixth grade should have the opportunity to attend a week-long outdoor school program or a comparable outdoor education program. (4) Outdoor School builds self-sufficiency and leadership skills, helps students understand the interdependence of Oregon's rural and urban areas, develops critical thinking skills and improves school attendance and retention rates. (5) Fully supporting Outdoor School for all Oregon students will help students meet state standards in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics through direct, hands-on experience, which is shown to strongly influence learning and career choices. (6) Fully supporting Outdoor School for all Oregon students will create jobs throughout Oregon as well as support economic development in rural areas. (7) Under Article XV, Section 4 of the Oregon Constitution, net proceeds from the Oregon Lottery shall be used to create jobs, further economic development, finance public education and restore and protect Oregon's parks, beaches, watersheds, and native fish and wildlife. Section 2. Creates Outdoor School Education Fund (1) The Outdoor School Education Fund is created within the State Treasury, separate and distinct from the General Fund. (2) Moneys in the fund shall consist of: a) Amounts donated to the fund; b) Amounts allocated under Section 2(3) below or otherwise transferred to the fund by the Legislative Assembly; c) Investment earnings received on moneys in the fund; and d) Other amounts deposited in the fund from any source. (3) In each fiscal quarter of a biennium, commencing with the first quarter of the biennium beginning July 1, 2017, there is allocated from the Administrative Services Economic Development Fund to the Outdoor School Education Fund established by this measure an amount equal to the lesser of: a) Four percent of the moneys transferred from the Oregon State Lottery Fund in that fiscal quarter; or b) $5.50 million, but not to exceed $22 million annually, adjusted annually pursuant to the Consumer Price Index, as defined in ORS 327.006. (4) The allocation of funds to the Outdoor School Education Fund shall not reduce lottery proceeds dedicated to education under Article XV, Section 4 of the Oregon Constitution, or to the restoration and preservation of parks, beaches, watersheds, and native fish and wildlife under Article XV, Sections 4a and 4b of the Oregon Constitution. Section 3. Purpose of Outdoor School Education Fund (1) The primary purpose of the Outdoor School Education Fund is to provide every Oregon student in fifth or sixth grade the opportunity to attend a week-long outdoor school program, or an equivalent outdoor education experience that reflects local community needs, consistent with provisions of Enrolled Senate Bill 439 (2015 Regular Session). (2) Any moneys remaining in the Outdoor School Education Fund after providing every Oregon student in fifth or sixth grade with an opportunity to attend a week-long Outdoor School may be used by the Oregon State University Extension Service to support the development and delivery of additional outdoor education programs in Oregon's K-12 public schools. Section 4. Continuous Appropriation Moneys in the fund are continuously appropriated to the Oregon State University Extension Service to support, administer and fund an Outdoor School program as set forth in Enrolled Senate Bill 439 (2015 Regular Session) and additional outdoor education programs for Oregon K-12 children. |
Fiscal impact statement
- See also: Fiscal impact statement
The fiscal impact statement was as follows:[2]
“ | This measure amends Oregon Revised Statutes to dedicate a portion of lottery proceeds for a statewide outdoor school program. In 2015, the Oregon State Legislature established an Outdoor Education Account for the purpose of funding a six day, residential, hands-on outdoor school program or equivalent for fifth and sixth grade students across the state. The Legislature did not provide funding at that time. This measure would affect distributions from the Department of Administrative Services Economic Development Fund. It dedicates the lesser of the following two amounts to the Outdoor Education account: either four percent of the quarterly transfers to this fund or $5.5 million quarterly, with a maximum of $22 million each year.
The measure would result in an expenditure shift of $22 million annually to the Outdoor Education Account from the Department of Administrative Services Economic Development Fund. The measure does not affect the overall amount of funds collected for or expended by state government. This measure would not have an impact on the constitutionally dedicated amounts for the Educational Stability Fund or the Parks and Natural Resources Fund.[3] |

Background
Outdoor School
In 2016, the Oregon "Outdoor School" program was a week-long field science curriculum focusing on the environment, natural resources, economic development, and related careers.[2] In 1957, Professor Irene Hollenbeck of Southern Oregon University organized a program similar to what would become Outdoor School with the Medford School District. The first Outdoor School program was launched in 1958 by Crook County School District.[4]
Participation in Outdoor School varied by school district, with some funding full-week programs, others funding two- or three-day programs, and others not providing Outdoor School at all. Most districts funded the program through private donations or by asking parents to contribute. Due to budget constraints, many school districts shortened or eliminated Outdoor School.[2]
In a statement to the Oregon Legislature in 2015, the Oregon Outdoor Education Coalition said eight Oregon counties had greater than 80 percent of students participating in Outdoor School, another eight had between 41 and 80 percent participating, the next eight had between 21 to 40 percent enrolled, eight more had participation under 20 percent, and four counties had no participation.[5]
Senate Bill 439
In 2015, the Oregon Legislature approved Senate Bill 439 (SB 439). Only one legislator voted against the bill. SB 439 assigned the Oregon State University Extension Service with assisting school districts in providing Outdoor School programs through grants. To receive grants under SB 439, school districts need to develop programs that provide a "six-day, residential, hands-on educational experience, or an equivalent outdoor educational experience that reflects local community needs and contexts, featuring field study opportunities." The legislature did not, however, provide funding for the grant program.[5]
Lottery funding
Measure 99 funded Outdoor School through appropriating $22 million per year, adjusted for inflation, from the Oregon State Lottery Fund. The measure prohibited any reduction in authorized funds from the State Lottery Fund to education, parks and beaches, and environmental conservation.[2] In 2013 through 2015, revenue in the Oregon State Lottery Fund was distributed as follows:[6]
- 57 percent towards public education.
- 27 percent towards economic development and assistance for the state's industries.
- 15 percent towards state parks and natural resources, including watershed enhancement and salmon restoration.
- 1 percent towards problem gambling treatment.

Arguments
Save Outdoor School for All answered the question "Why Measure 99?" with the following:[11]
A Save Outdoor School for All advertisement

“ | PRESERVING OUR HERITAGE
Since its first band of Medford sixth graders in 1957, Outdoor School’s mission has been simple: get our next generation of leaders off the couch and out into Oregon’s great outdoors. Oregon is a stunning tapestry of natural wonder and natural riches. Our challenge as Oregonians is making sure it stays that way. How do we inspire and equip the next generation to be the leaders we need? THE ANSWER IS OUTSIDE Outdoor School is a proven answer. Kids come alive – curious and engaged – when they get outdoors. Outdoor School is a smart, time-tested, hands-on science-based week of solid, effective education. Breathing fresh air, surrounded by wonder, collaborating with other kids builds confidence and self-sufficiency as kids learn to value and make responsible choices about our incredible natural resources. Simply put, Outdoor School is a time-tested experience that changes kids’ lives and makes them better prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow. IT’S TIME TO ENSURE OUTDOOR SCHOOL IS THERE FOR ALL KIDS Because of tight school budgets, currently only about half of Oregon’s students get to experience Outdoor School. And even then, sometimes only for a day or two rather than the full week experience that research shows is most effective. That’s not good for Oregon. Or our kids. With your help, we can change this. The benefits of Outdoor School are clear: strengthening today’s economy, creating tomorrow’s leaders, and preserving for all time the natural resources and natural legacy that make us who we are – Oregonians.[3] |
” |
Carol Packard, a middle school teacher and outdoor school program coordinator, contended:[12]
“ | Countless graduating high school seniors have noted that their time at outdoor school was the single most important experience in all of their school years. Middle school students rave about how it was the most amazing experience of their lives and they can’t wait to “pass it on” and be a high school or college counselor. Across Oregon, educators, scientists and natural resource professionals credit outdoor school as the motivating spark that led them to their careers.[3] | ” |
Matt Bradley, Executive Director of the Whole Earth Nature School, argued:[13]
“ | Six hundred full-time-equivalent jobs would be created with the passage of Measure 99, and $27 million would flow back into local economies annually, much of it in rural areas. In the long term, making Outdoor School a priority would encourage young people to study science, technology, engineering and math, therefore helping to create our next generation of high-tech workers as well as a healthier generation of youth.[3] | ” |
Other arguments in support of Measure 99 included:
- Gov. Kate Brown (D) stated, "There’s no better way to develop a bond with our natural environment than spending time outdoors. That connection is an important part of growing up in Oregon and is fundamental to instilling the values of conservation in our children."[13]
- Chris Enlow, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at KEEN footwear, said, "If you don't have those experiences young in life, you won't have a lifelong appreciation for parks and natural areas, conservation and ultimately protecting the places where we play."[14]

A total of 13 arguments in favor of Measure 99 were submitted to the Oregon Secretary of State. The following is a selection of five arguments:

Arguments
Oregon Sen. Betsy Johnson (D-16) wrote in the Oregonian the following:[16]
“ | Some programs that have proved their worth at OSU Extension Services are also now jeopardized. OSU would be tasked with developing the Outdoor School curricula, deciding which schools would receive funds and then distributing the grants. The time and work to do that has to come from somewhere. Programs such as 4-H and Master Gardeners could be cut. Some kids could lose their 4-H agricultural projects so other kids can go to camp for a week.
Even then, not all fifth- and sixth-graders will be selected for camp. A Portland-based political group named itself Outdoor School for All, but the truth is grants will only go to school districts whose outdoor programs promote 14 criteria — including higher test scores, fewer discipline problems, improved language arts skills and "accessibility to students of all abilities." Having an opportunity to be out in the woods and experience nature is valuable. No disagreement there. But we cannot rob other programs every time advocates organize for a cause and decide they know what's best for everyone — if someone else will pay for it.[3] |

Media editorials
Support
- The East Oregonian said: "Talk to anyone who attended outdoor school and they will tell you it’s one of the most memorable, rewarding and educational experiences of their lives. They learned about themselves at an important, if awkward, moment of their lives. They learned more deeply about their classmates and they learned about their planet."[20]
- East Oregonian endorsed a "Yes" vote.[21]
- Eugene Weekly said: "Even in Oregon, not all kids have access to the outdoors, and a week outside as part of a school program provides students with foundational skills to explore their world and gain an appreciation for it. After all, it’s up to our youngest generation to fix the planet — how will they want to save it if they never see it? This one gets a definite “yes” vote from EW."[22]
- Pamplin Media Group said: “State-run gambling now funds education and state parks. So in that respect, Outdoor School — which creates an educational experience in a natural setting — is a good fit.”[23]
- The Portland Mercury said, "But here’s the thing: You can teach kids all the natural science you want inside the classroom, but it’s no substitute for getting the firsthand knowledge that only being out in nature can provide. And smarter, more environmentally astute kids equal a more informed, better equipped workforce of the future. Vote “yes."[24]
- Street Roots said: "The Outdoor School provides vital experiences for Oregon youths and reinforces statewide values around our environment and natural resources. It shouldn’t be taken for granted, and the opportunity should be available to all students, rich and poor, regardless of their school district."[25]
- Willamette Week said: “But we think Outdoor School is an Oregon treasure that ought to be available to all schoolchildren for free for a full week. And right now in Oregon, many children aren't getting that, either because their school districts can't afford to send children for a full week or because their schools charge hefty fees.”[26]
Opposition
- Corvallis Gazette-Times said: "We think the measure, despite its good intentions, would end up shortchanging the state's badly needed economic development efforts. We also are leery about claims from measure proponents that expanding Outdoor School opportunities would result in widespread economic development for rural Oregon."[27]
- The Dalles Chronicle said: "The board unanimously opposed this measure because there are more practical needs for this funding."[28]
- Mail Tribune said: "No one questions the value of outdoor school, an Oregon tradition for more than half a century. But this measure would also tap the lottery, taking up to $22 million of money that now goes to economic development. If outdoor school is more important than other programs, the Legislature should find funding for it outside the lottery."[29]
- The Oregonian said: "But Measure 99, which would dedicate $22 million each year in Lottery dollars to pay for a week of Outdoor School for all the state's fifth- or sixth-graders, takes the wrong approach. Not only would the measure lay claim to dollars currently going to the State School Fund and economic development efforts, but it would send many of these dollars to wealthier districts that are already capably funding Outdoor School on their own."[30]
