Stand for Your Future: Join OASTL.

The Court of Appeals has ruled that Oregon students have standing to enforce the school trust. OASTL invites students and families to ask how they can participate.

Why We Need You

The “Corvallis Effect.”

On January 28, 2026, we won a historic victory. The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled that students have standing to sue.

We won that ruling in part because the hearing was held at Corvallis High School, with real students in the audience. Their presence reminded the judges that this case isn’t about theory — it’s about real people, real students.

To win the final victory, we need to show the court that students across Oregon are watching.
