Changes instructional time requirements from "increased learning time" to "sufficient learning time," reframing the focus from expanding hours to ensuring adequate hours for instruction and teacher collaboration

Adds a new K-12 education goal ensuring all students have the opportunity to earn a high school diploma, modified diploma, or equivalent credential

Revises Oregon's post-secondary education mission from specific percentage targets (40% bachelor's, 40% associate's by 2025) to ensuring all high school graduates have the "opportunity to attain" higher education degrees or credentials
