Keep local control
over schools
To the Editor:
In reference to Governor Kitzhaber seeking the re
duction of the local school districts, this is another way
for the government to take control of the people. Also,
how much control will the locals have over what the
youngsters are taught.
We will have no control over the collective bargain
ing, which we should have.
He is talking about the disconnect between the local
level and state funding, but we will have no say over
where our money goes.
We need to retain local control over our schools.
