We must bring back an Oregon where our kids get a quality education that prepares them for community service and a family wage job. Parents should be able to count on schools that provide good curriculum and encourage high levels of academic achievement. Employers should be able to expect job applicants that show up on time able to read, write, and spell. And, taxpayers should be able to count on fiscally responsible decisions that safeguard their hard earned tax dollars. Our children can do great things if we provide them the tools to succeed.
