YO Shelly. I heard that you don't want to bail out Portland schools. Is this true? So that would mean a next generation of failed students would it not? I understand your opinion of public schools is unfavorable but you should understand that your small town may need a state bail out some day. I guess we could just ignore your plight if such a situation arises in the future. As a product of the Portlad public school system I get the feeling that our schools and teachers have always been fighting for money and always put last. If you want success for your small rural area. You will need for the entire state to succeed or we will end up like Mississippi or Alabama compleatly dependent on Federal support for mere existance. If our schools and teachers continue to be underfunded, OREGON falls behind! I assume you live in Oregon?
