Oregon schools chief Rob Saxton said he won't consider delaying the Smarter Balanced tests because that would lower expectations, deny parents and schools accurate information about how prepared students are for college and career and leave Oregon lagging behind other states.

So what are ESAs and why should you love them?

ESAs operate on the philosophy that parents are best equipped to make the important decisions about their child’s education. For their part, parents who choose to participate in the ESA option sign a contract agreeing to ensure that their children receive an education in the core academic subjects.

Portland School Board approves 28 percent raise for Superintendent Carole Smith

Portland School Board members voted 5-2 to grant Superintendent Carole Smith a 28 percent raise and a three-year contract extension, bumping her pay up to $247,000 and making her the highest-paid schools chief in Oregon. In addition to the raise, the board has also increased Smith's tax-sheltered monthly payments from $1,500 to $2,500. Teachers union vice-president Suzanne Cohen said the board should put more money back in the classroom, instead of giving Smith such an increase.

Portland Superintendent Carole Smith's New salary of $257,000 stack up in Oregon.

The news of a pay raise for Portland Public Schools Superintendent Carole Smith has generated a lot of discussion. Portland's school board is getting ready to give Smith, who has been at the helm of Oregon's largest district since 2007, a big raise. One proposal pegged the increase as high as 33 percent, though board members insist the proposal has not been finalized. For context, a $257,000 salary is the equivalent of Smith receiving a 3.85 percent raise every year since she began seven years ago. The chart only includes salary, not additional annuities that are fairly common among superintendents. Smith currently earns a $1,500 monthly annuity, and a proposal by board leadership wanted to up that to $2,500 a month. What do you think of the proposal? Should other school board members approve such an amount, or lobby for a smaller raise?

OBAMACORE BAD TO THE CORE

Common Core was invented by a handful of Washington-based education"experts” five years ago and bankrolled by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. But it took off when the Obama administration put $4.3 billion in state education grants called Race to the Top in the stimulus bill. President Barack Obama’s Education Secretary Arne Duncan made it clear the surest way for states to qualify was to adopt Common Core. Some states took it unseen, since the first grant applications were due in January 2010, and the standards were not written until months later. New York adopted Common Core in July 2010, in return for $697 million. All in all, 45 states signed on to a program that had never been tested in even one school. Contrary to what the public is told, Common Core is not about standards. It’s about content — what school kids are taught. In the social studies framework approved on April 29 by New York State’s education authorities (but not parents), American history is presented as four centuries of racism, economic oppression and gender discrimination. Teachers are encouraged to help students identify their differences instead of their common American identity. Gone are heroes, ideals and American exceptionalism.

Currently more than a dozen states are considering a repeal or a delay in implementation

What’s the Common Core debate all about? In April, we spoke to two sides on the issue: Oklahoma state representatives, Republican Jason Nelson and Democrat Emily Virgin. Common Core was initiated in 2009 by the nation’s governors, seeking national standards for math and English literacy. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan supported the move, spending $350 million to develop Common Core tests. More than 40 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the Common Core State Standards.

The Future of School Choice in Oregon Education Savings Accounts

Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman first popularized the school choice voucher concept in his 1962 book, Capitalism and Freedom. Now, a new concept is capturing the imaginations of a new generation of parents and policy makers: Education Savings Accounts (ESAs). Going beyond the voucher or tax credit idea for school choice, ESAs introduce market concepts that help parents become active shoppers for educational services, thus improving their quality while reducing costs.

More than one-third of Top 50 PERS recipients are retired educators!!

Most of those are retired college professors, primarily from fields such as math, science and engineering. But four of Oregon's Top 25 PERS pensions go to retirees who worked in K-12 education, including retired Lake Oswego Superintendent Bill Korach, former Portland Public Schools human resources director Steve Goldschmidt and retired Beaverton Superintendent Jerry Colonna. You can see the whole list, obtained by Oregonian investigative reporter Ted Sickinger, in a searchable database by The Oregonian and OregonLive.

Why Don't Public Schools Give Parents What They Want?

"No principal or teacher will get a raise for attracting more students to his or her school. A successful manager in a private business gets a raise, or gets hired away for a bigger salary. A successful entrepreneur expands his or her store or opens a branch. Can one imagine a public school choice system allowing a successful principal to open another school across town and run both of them?" Educational Savings Accounts A innovative concept that is capturing the attention of young parents and new policy makers. Going beyond the voucher or tax credit idea for school choice, ESA’s introduce market concepts that help parents become active shoppers for educational services, thus improving their quality while reducing costs.
