As an aside, Emily you have done more to promote the discussion of education in this state in the past 6 months than any legislator. Thank you for consistently furthering this topic. I am sure you have found that there is some consensus on the school level-teachers, parents etc. How can we move forward for solutions? When will the state take real action?

Doesn't it still come back to putting public education on the forefront and providing consistent funding source(s) via taxes etc.? Then we can stop all the end runs? Best for students is absolutely more days, appropriate day length, managed class size. As a parent and masters candidate for teaching credential, we need to stop the stop gaps and commit to the basic education principles that we all know will serve students and the future of Oregon.
