Lampreys of Oregon
2021-07-28 | Deschutes Brewery Public House, 1044 NW Bond St, Bend, OR, 97701, United States
Don’t judge a book by its cover – lampreys may simultaneously be Oregon’s most misunderstood and most important fish species! If you look beyond their boneless bodies and slightly terrifying disc mouth, you’ll find there’s a lot to respect. These fish (yes, they are fish!) are some of the Columbia River Basin’s most ancient inhabitants, with origins dating back several hundred million years. That means they pre-date dinosaurs!

Home life and family circumstances can have an effect upon student achievement. As a result, educators have long included in their role the need to provide a listening ear and sometimes helpful counsel to students and families.
The Fair Housing Council of Oregon is here to help educators better understand and be effective advocates for housing rights so that all families can enjoy equal access to housing.
This online Fair Housing for Educators training includes:

basic knowledge on fair housing laws (federal, state and local)
the history of housing discrimination
how to provide fair housing information to families
and how to refer families to resources to help enforce their housing rights.

This training is designed for teachers, educational administrators, school board members, educational non-profit staff, and others who interact with students and families.
