Why is this important?
Parent Eric Neiwert's call to action on Facebook: Oregon parents and other interested parties. I need you to make your voices heard. This past week the Oregon legislature announced a K12 budget that is $600 Million short of what is recommended by educators statewide. What is clear is that this budget will result in cuts to school districts across the state. In my children's district, Gresham-Barlow School District, this will result in a $5 million cut. This means either a 10 day reduction in each of the next two years or 45 additional staff will be cut. This is after sustaining cuts over six years leaving us with bare bones programs that shortchange our students.
