Why not tax the hundred high earning people left in a few years 2000% to make up for those leaving? That would solve it right?

Berkeley to Sacramento - the roads are trashed. Potholes. Uneven patchwork on highways. Just like Portland. Why can’t these over taxes cities that don’t use salt and have more mild winters keep the roads in good shape? Cleveland does better and taxes less. Makes no sense.
The NY Times has a new tool for comparing the rate of chronic absenteeism by school district from 2019 to 2023. I used the tool to create this chart for all the Oregon school districts in their database. datawrapper.de/_/DqzDI/
I read the letter. @jrlsilverman literally doing the job as a reporter trying to get a public official to provide public information. Amazing that MESD thinks this in any way does anything except make them look like they are hiding things. Happy sunshine week indeed.

This is just mind numbing. @ORDems legislators are so out of touch with education. I guess if unions aren’t pushing for it they don’t do it. Summer school and high dosage tutoring is 100% the best proven solution to catch up those that have fallen behind. It is the best $$ spent

Thanks so much @azcfilm and @rationalinpdx. Such a meaningful conversation. Thanks for giving me a chance to share my thoughts on the critically-important issues facing our public schools. Everyone - watch NW Fresh's podcast! He's got many really great episodes.

It is time to undo a huge mistake - measure 110 that was funded by out of state money with its massive marketing campaign that succeeded in hoodwinking Oregonians.

Wow- holy cow. This is an incredible waste of money in a city fighting to stay alive. And let’s not forgot the originators of this snowflake structure set to cost portland millions are running for the very seats they created. @candaceforpdx seems legit no?

Really important article for what matters to improve education in our classrooms. Question is, are the district, union leaders, ODE and state legislators all paying attention or is each in it for themselves? Remember the kids…

What a phenomenal story about a kid who didn’t complain about being on JV but used it as a catalyst to improve and now is crushing it at varsity. Inspiring.

While it is being debated in the Oregon legislature, you should know our key elected leadership in the majority has been financially incentivized NOT to fix measure 110. Care to explain @DanRayfield @KateForOregon @DreaValderrama @RobNosse @TinaKotek @juliefahey ?
Measure 110 is funding corruption - enriching politician campaigns and keeping non profits incentivized to do little. AKA destroying Oregon.

The young man who cuts my hair was a senior in 2020. Every time I sit in his chair missing Prom comes up. He purchased a velvet suit that he was excited to wear, he’s never worn it & is considering selling it because seeing it hanging in his closet makes him sad. He deserved…

Everyone has known this for years. Yet UC system removed SAT anyway. Time to reinstate. It was just virtue signaling all along.
College admission essay content has a stronger correlation with household income (R2 = 16%) than SAT scores. This explains how removing standardized tests can increase inequality. Based on 240,000 admission essays to the University of California. science.org/doi/full/10.11…

@DAMikeSchmidt @DAMikeSchmidt saying he stands for safety. That’s rich. DA Schmidt is a primary contributor to the worst public safety in the history of Portland.

She also doesn't have @Drewid95 who says the process to eliminate individual school fundraising was focused on finding a villain, not on coming up w/ a collaborative solution.
I will note here that board member @BrimJulia, also a MultCo commissioner, is strongly behind this change. She can count votes. One she doesn't have: board member Patte Sullivan, who says she doesn't feel that there's been enough work done for a districtwide foundation to succeed
