                             AN ACT

Relating to school mascots; amending ORS 332.075; and declaring
  an emergency.

Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:

  SECTION 1. ORS 332.075 is amended to read:
  332.075. (1) Any district school board may:
  (a) Fix the days of the year and the hours of the day when
schools shall be in session.
  (b) Adopt textbooks and other instructional materials as
provided in ORS 337.120 and 337.141 and courses of study for the
use of such schools as provided in ORS 336.035.
  (c) Authorize the use of the schools for purposes of training
students of an approved teacher education institution, as defined
in ORS 342.120, and for such purposes may enter into contracts
with the approved teacher education institutions on such terms as
may be agreed upon. Such contracts as they relate to student
teachers shall have the same effect and be subject to the same
regulations as a contract between a licensed teacher and a
district school board.
  (d) Develop and operate with other school districts or
community college districts secondary career and technical
education programs for pupils of more than one district and fix
by agreement the duration of the district's obligation to
continue such activity, subject to the availability of funds
therefor.
  (e) Authorize the school district to be a member of and pay
fees, if any, to any voluntary organization that administers
interscholastic activities or that facilitates the scheduling and
programming of interscholastic activities.
  (f) Accept money or property donated for the use or benefit of
the school district and, consistent with the laws of this state,
use such money or property for the purpose for which it was
donated.
   { +  (g) Enter into a written agreement with the governing
body of a federally recognized Native American tribe in Oregon
that is located closest to the school district to identify:
  (A) The acceptable name, symbol or image of a mascot that
represents, or is associated with, a Native American tribe;
  (B) The behavior expectations of students and other spectators
at athletic events that shall be enforced by the school district
in relation to the mascot; and

  (C) The training on cultural diversity that athletic directors
or other persons identified by the district school board shall be
required to complete. + }
  (2) All contracts of the school district must be approved by
the district school board before an order can be drawn for
payment. If a contract is made without the authority of the
district school board, the individual making such contract shall
be personally liable.
  (3) Notwithstanding subsection (2) of this section, a district
school board may, by resolution or policy, authorize its
superintendent or the superintendent's designee to enter into and
approve payment on contracts for products, materials, supplies,
capital outlay, equipment and services that are within
appropriations made by the district school board pursuant to ORS
294.456. A district school board may not authorize its
superintendent or the superintendent's designee under this
subsection to enter into and approve payment on contracts that
are collective bargaining agreements or service contracts that
include the provision of labor performed by employees of the
school district.
  SECTION 2.  { + This 2013 Act being necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency
is declared to exist, and this 2013 Act takes effect on its
passage. + }
