Oregon Black Caucus
supports School Tax
11« Executive Com m ittee
of the Oregon Black Caucus
uiges support fo r School la x
I evy, Built■, Measure 1 on
the 23rd of May.
Education is v ita l to our
su rv iv a l. I he P ublic Schools
of P ortland are the only
places where most of our
ch ild re n can go to get an edu
cation. We must have the tools
to Ixiild a nation.
A fte r the passing of this
tax levy fo r the schools, we
must work fo r reform of tlie
public schools. We are >waie
that many of our ch ild re n are
le in g kicked out of schools,
being degraded, and a ie not
le in g taught. We must work
toward making tie Portland
Public Schools m ore respon
sive to t ie expei lences of our
ch ild re n .
No-one is going
t j do this for us.
