Bill takes aim at ‘fifth-year’ high school programs Critics say extra year drains state’s educational funding By HOLLY DILLEMUTH H&N Staff Reporter The Klamath Falls Gospel Mission has increased its funding goal in order to relo- cate the site of new mission facilities from downtown Klamath Falls to a human ser- vices campus to be located on South Sixth Street. The Gospel Mission announced in its February newsletter that the facility will move from its current location on Walnut Avenue to a 17-acre parcel, which holds the former West One auto building, purchased in late 2014 by Sky Lakes Medical Center. Sky Lakes and Klamath Works, a group comprising business leaders, plans to open a human services campus at the site to consolidate services used by people in need. The idea is that people will be housed there, get training for work skills, and have other social needs addressed in one location in town. See MISSION, page A3 >> See page B1 ALBANY (AP) — Oregon lawmakers are considering a bill to alter or eliminate fifth- year programs designed to help high school students be successful in college. The programs allow some students to defer getting a high school diploma. Instead, they take additional courses at a community college in a so-called fifth year of high school. Because the students remain with their high school district, the districts get state money that helps pay for the students’ college costs, the Albany Democrat-Herald reported. Supporters say the program helps stu- dents prepare for and finish college, and they’re especially helpful for students whose parents didn’t go to college. But critics say they drain dollars meant for elementary and secondary schooling to college educations. A hearing on Senate Bill 322 is sched- uled March 19 in Salem. School districts handle the programs differently. In Corvallis, for instance, stu- dents are required to create an academic plan and take both Math 111 and Writing 121, the courses most often failed in the Oregon University System.
