Dr. Crew's Office: To Serve the Governor or the Public?
Oregon Save Our Schools met with Dr. Rudy Crew last year, a few months after he was hired in Oregon. We wanted to open a dialogue with him to share concerns of the voice of the public to include parents, teachers, and community members. After meeting for over an hour, which Dr. Crew and his staff graciously stayed longer than what was scheduled, it was obvious that the voice of the public was not in his job expectations. It was clear that his job was to push and support the education reform plans put out by Governor Kitzhaber and the OEIB. It was a true disappointment, but it was also a reveal as to the agenda put forth by those in power, and that the public was at best, an irritant. Below is a reflection of one of our members, Tom Olson, from that meeting. -- Oregon SOS
