What We Believe
- Strong schools support strong families, communities, and a stronger Oregon
- Fund our schools now for today’s students and Oregon’s future
- Investing in public schools is Oregon’s way out of economic crisis
What Oregon Leaders Need to Know
- Listen to educators, students, and parents. Before making decisions that affect our schools, engage the people directly involved in the lives of students every day.
- Schools are not factories. Our students have diverse backgrounds and come to school with a variety of needs and experiences. They all learn differently and their successes cannot be solely measured by test scores.
- Rebuild the dream for Oregon’s students. Invest in Oregon’s public schools today to set the path for a better, more prosperous future for all Oregonians.
