Oregon's Charter School Laws Should Work for Children, Not Bureaucrats

Rep. Matt Wingard (R-Wilsonville) rose on the House Floor today to observe the formation of a panel charged with reviewing Oregon's charter school laws. He noted of the 15-member committee, 12 members represent organizations that have been openly hostile to these alternative schools that educate 16,000 Oregon kids. As the committee reviews the laws and makes recommendations to the next legislature, Rep. Wingard urges the House to remember who they are really working for.
