Zitat des Tages von Kate Brown:
Under HB 2655, the state is responsible to ensure parents are aware of the purpose and value of assessments and receive notice from their local school districts about their rights and obligations. Educators must engage with parents about the value of assessment and the potential consequences if parents opt out and student participation diminishes.
I certainly think it's really important that folks in the metropolitan area be able to meet the increased cost of living.
If I can save one kid's life, for me, it's absolutely worth it.
I'm really pragmatic. That's my reality.
We need to quit arguing about whether the glass is half full or half empty - and instead acknowledge that there's not quite enough water to go around.
Cities around the United States do not have land use planning like we have in Oregon, and they are all struggling with issues like affordable housing.
Oregonians continually demonstrate a strong belief in fairness and equal treatment under the law.
Water is the foundation for our economies, communities, ecosystems, and quality of life.
I know what it feels like to be a victim of domestic violence.
I love working the legislative process.
We deploy a full arsenal of tools against voter fraud, including long prison terms, heavy fines and deportation. We have checks and balances at all levels of the system. And we have the Department of Justice prosecutors backing us up.
I grew up in a middle-class family. I went to law school.
I realized I could make a difference. I could be their voice; I could fight for them... There's no better place to fight for working families than the governor's chair.
The chaos and confusion during the waning days of the Kitzhaber administration, as well as the ensuing federal investigations into allegations of misconduct, caused Oregonians to question their faith in their governor and state government.
I have spent my career fighting to make Oregon a place where everyone can thrive.
I'm committed to the goal of Senate Bill 324, and that is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
I seek solutions, not battles.
As educators and policy makers, it is important to demonstrate for parents the connection between high levels of student participation in assessment and system accountability - ensuring the success of every student.
Anytime you do something in this arena, whether it's public records or ethics, it's not like throwing a stone in a quiet pond. It's like throwing a boulder.
Public health and safety are my highest priorities.
Oregonians have many good reasons to be proud of our election system.
Economic growth is important. But we cannot count on economic growth alone to fund the public education system our children need and deserve.
The challenge is sort of capturing the issues that Oregonians feel strongly about and moving forward on those.
