League of Women Voters of Oregon’s Social Policy Coordinator, Jean Pierce, is seeking someone from our League who might serve on an ad hoc statewide K-12 Education Position task force. Here is her message:
I’ve discovered that the Oregon League does not have a K-12 position which would permit us to take action on charter schools, a statewide minimum teacher salary, class size, collective bargaining, state assessments, career education, and other issues which are being addressed by the legislature. So I am pulling together a group of League members who would be willing to help me examine K-12 education positions of other state Leagues to determine whether one might be proposed for concurrence at the 2025 LWVOR Convention.
Proposed timeline:
- Through January, 2024: helping to recruit volunteers
- Feb. – Sept. 2024: info collection from local leagues, national research
- Oct. – Jan. 2025: consolidating info into a report, including concurrence proposal
- Feb. – June, 2025:If the Board approves the proposal, campaigning for statewide concurrence at the June 2025 convention
I truly appreciate your help with identifying potential task force members.
