1993-94 School Report Card:
A Year Of Change
Oregon’s public schools made
academic gains in 1993-94 despite
having fewer dollars, fewer teachers
and more students than the previous
school year.
“The 1993-94 school year
marked the beginning of significant
change in Oregon’s public schools,”
State School Supt. Norma Paulus
said in releasing the
annual Oregon Re
port Card on public
education. “Oregon
is on the leading
edge of change and
there is much good
news to report.”
But Paulus said
schools cannot con
tinue todo more with
less. “Oregon’s fu
ture depends on our
willingness to invest
now in public edu
cation. Schools must
have a guaranteed
stable
funding
source.”
In addition to
funding, Paulus said
schools face another
problem. "Violence has erupted in
Oregon’s schools practically over
night. Schools cannot stop this vio
lence by themselves. It’s up to local
communities to help us provide a
safe environment for teaching and
learning.”
Here are some highlights of
O regon’s 1993-94 school year:
• For the first time, schools o p er
ated on fewer dollars - $58 mil
lion fewer dollars - than the previ
ous year. Factoring in increased
enrollment and inflation, Oregon
schools have $500 million less over
the 1993-95 biennium than they
need to maintain the 1991-93 ser
vice levels.
• The num ber of teachers dropped
2.3 percent from the previous year,
from 29,021 in 1992-93 to 28,342
in 1993-94.

• Enrollm ent continued its record
climb with 541,600 students in
1993-94, 1.3 percent more than
the enrollment o f534,804 in 1992-
93. Enrollm ent increased at a
slower pace than previous years
but is projected to climb through
the decade.
• The percentage of m inority stu
dents in Oregon public schools is
increasing. Minority students ac
count for 40 percent of additional
enrollment since 1988, and three
out of five of those additional mi
nority students are Hispanic.
• R eading and w riting p e rfo r
m ance on statewide assessments
improved. Mathematics perfor
mance held steady in grades 3, 5
and 8 but declined slightly in grade
11.
• Five high schools (Roosevelt,

Huffman served as acting dean
during the past year. He is known
internationally as an expert in Con
stitutional law, water law, natural
resources and jurisprudence. He di
rects the law school’s highly re
garded Natural Resources Law In
stitute.
Huffm an replaces Stephen
Ranter, who is stepping down after
eight highly successful years as dean
and returning to the law school fac
ulty. “Under Steve Ranter’s leader
ship, the Law School has achieved
an entirely new level ofexcellence,”
Mooney said.
Student applications have more
than tripled, and the quality of the
student body has increased dramati
cally. Entering classes are now among
the top 40 in the nation. The Law
School has developed one of the pre
eminent environmental and natural
resource programs in the country, a
library that ranks second only to the
University of Washington as a pri
mary legal research center in the
Northwest and important institutional
relationships throughout the world.
At the same time, the Law School’s
endowment has quadrupled from $2
million to more than $8 million. "We
know of no other law school that can
claim such a record,” President
Mooney said.
“Jim is internationally re c
ognized for his scholarship, is
active in the local as w ell as the
international com m unity and is
hig h ly re sp ected by his c o l
leag u es,” M ooney noted. “I am
confident that under his lead er
ship, the law school will co n
tin u e its m arch to p re -e m i
n en ce.”
Huffm an received the Leo
Award for excellence in teaching
and the 1988 Smith Rline Beckman
Bicentennial Award in Legal Edu
cation from the Institute for Educa
tional Affairs. He was a Distin
guished Bradley Scholar at the Heri
tage Foundation in Washington,
D.C., in 1993 and is a member of
Phi Rappa Phi.
