West Linn charter school is Best In State

Staff in Three Rivers Charter School in West Linn do not know what it is to be the best.

This is because they have never asked, can be evaluated. But doubtless have been in the best public schools right of the charter school in order to agree on the end of the century.

Confirmed, the idea was that the fact that the recent announcement of Three Rivers was chosen among 80 of the Charter of Oregon that the best schools in the state, given that the title of “Charter School of the Year . ”

The Charter School Development Center (CSDC), which was recently announced, Three Rivers was the winner of the school for the year 2007-2008.

School Administrator Katherine Holt said Graves Three Rivers teachers in the education of pupils were roughly the same over the last eight years, it is an irony that the school has been in the spotlight this year.

The fact is that nobody can escape from the school that day for the recognition of the evaluation.

“Our job is to raise enough money to the school and it is good,” said Holt Graves.

“We have not yet had sufficient time to distinctions,” said Merilee Bales, a co-founder of the school of Holt Graves in 2001.

Among the qualities of the school, that the State was a pupil of experts on the results of standardized tests test of the stability of the financing, the large number of visitors and constant assessment than if all the criteria for public schools in Oregon.

“I think we are the only school in the middle of Oregon have received an excellent ranking for all years, we have been evaluated,” said Bales. “And it is mainly because of the performance of the student.”

Regarding the state of public school report card, Three Rivers was higher level (still is) all the years of its existence, Joni Gilles, Director, Office of improving education and Innovation at the Oregon Department of Education. The current distinction CSDC, it is only a confirmation of current analyses of the State Ministry of Education and criteria, the test results of students who show consistently in school test 95 percent of students in mathematics, reading and writing.

“I think the disc is pretty cool,” said Lisa Ellingson, a parent with several children in school. Ellingson, a parent, the school, with the initial support of the grant in writing, serves as chairman of the board.

Even if he does not have the recognition, Holt Graves is obviously enthusiastic.

“It’s really an exciting thing for our school and our board and all the people who believed in this school,” said Holt Graves, “for making a distinction, which indicates that the work was useful.”

Graves Holt believes that part of the success of the school comes from the fact that the division between the classes is not supported by the class. Each class can be made up of students in grades 4-8.

“Middle students are both older and younger students,” she says, “it will allow them to see the next steps in their development or revise and abilities of cement, which should be reviewed.”

Ellingson, two things are, “she said to her head, a copy of the school: individual learning for students and teachers independence.

“The school year is a tendency to win three types of students,” she said, “learning another and those that fall outside the mainstream.

“We have many children who otherwise approach to how they learn. I think this is a unique learning environment and it is remarkable to find a school that meets the needs of students at both ends of Spectrum, with success. ”

The second factor is of great significance to the fact Ellingson mind because she saw how much it play in the life of her daughter.

“They learn how children and parents, the responsibility for themselves and their learning as responsible citizens and human trafficking,” she said. “They are educated, including in the fourth grade , such as interaction with adults. My daughter said she found it easier to have an interview with a teacher and an advocate for themselves. Without much help me now responsible for their own life .

Three Rivers also provides the motivation, peer-to-peer, as well as education provides opportunities for mentoring. Staff at the High School, students as adult mentors, as well as executives with skills and students’ personal learning to expand their “Horizonte.

But there is still much more to a quality education as mentors and offer small classes, especially in schools charter.

The sponsorship is withdrawn from school by the legislature is allowed up to 20% of public funds for the promotion, leaves the school unless adequate funding.

During this year, for example, that state funding Three Rivers get their sponsorship by the West Linn-Wilsonville School District, $ 467000. In addition, $ 79000 in the local circuit of the option of the tax.

State financing of a total of $ 546000 only 65 percent of the $ 846000 cost estimate for Three Rivers. The additional amount of $ 300000, donations by parents as loss of income from the annual auction.

Thanks to economic methods, personnel and have been successful on board to collect a fund for the past eight years (with the usual ways of State) manage the school for one year, without seeking funds.

That’s their rainy-day funds, but they hope it will not rain.

Bales estimates that the amount of parental care is an important factor that is not only the success of Three Rivers, but also an important aspect of evaluating the school for a distinction.

“If decisive factors,” said Bales, “is the commitment of parents, funding is that, by the district and the fact that (parents), one of the buildings with us.”

Three Rivers was the idea of Holt and Graves Bales, if remark, students of a school in the district of Mitte difficulties adapting to the lifestyle of an average classroom.

She started school, that the government merger pre-teen students to the youth and the environment on the evolution of the classroom.

After one or two years, they decided to take a break from the public school and concentrate on his own.

It was 2000, and for a charter school startup.

Today it their current lease building, which is at the intersection of Willamette cases propulsion and West A Street, north by the police department.

In this configuration, the school is, in essence, its own - like an old one room at the school of the grassland. Three Rivers, has its own school board, buildings, teachers, teachers’ aides, office supplies, accounting, personnel, insurance, transportation, supply and maintenance, and d education and accessories.

They will strive to reach a resource, people can learn from one of the subjects that would contribute to the school, teachers and 6 ½ of the school of two part-time assistants for special education students.

And do not forget the difficulty of finding funds.

But Holt Graves said that all the hard work of the sentence.

“Even when there are a lot of things I do not like to do, she says,” it is also an excellent thing to be able, a school for children on the choice of another environment. It is a beautiful thing.

“At this moment, we have a parent, the fact, the drama and the other parent, music, and I think parents feel really well at this school.”

The school at the forefront, academics, Graves Holt said, is what makes the difference. Three Rivers That makes it even older than the room of the school, where the school marm play only during the break.

Three Rivers teachers help children learn how learners of life and being, which Holt Graves’ good people in life. ”

“We have a lot of work for children with the self-analysis of how it can be improved,” she said.

Provides student Graves points as a typical student opinion on Three Rivers. She said the student had an area of the school in mid-Three Rivers, was not complaining - almost.

“(The former public school), we were all concerned about the social life and our friends,” said the girl Holt Graves “, but given that we have here (Three Rivers) talk, the whole School and academics. ”

The Three Rivers’ culture, “said Graves Holt, it is cool to be successful.

“We do not have a lot of social problems, because it is not our main concern,” said the director of the school. “Student of the time and energy is aimed at academics and the learning. ”

Another thing by the middle of pupils and students have just lost Three Rivers is their anonymity. Average class size varies between 10 and 15

“In a class of this size,” Graves Holt said: “You can not your homework do not, we can not lead to a discussion.

“” Complaint “, I mean children is that it is not anonymous. In this school, you can not just in the mix, and can not be ignored.”

Addressing important issues in real terms to my advertising campaign

I commend the West Linn Tidings of last week, the drafting of the appeal to voters asking them to nominate candidates for a real specificity, not platitudes.

As Democratic, a candidate for state representative in this area (38), I campaign on a platform very specific, and I welcome the opportunity to share it here. Here, I am the problems posed by your editorials:

Oregon’s tax structure

Advanced tax reform must be a top priority of the legislative authority in the year 2009. Oregon, most of the revenue to the structural instability of the nation.

This is due to our excessive dependence on a single source of income, the income tax of the state, which makes it unique Oregon vulnerable to economic fluctuations.

Voters listen, it is much talk of “fixation” of our problems by lifting the company and the increase in the Corporate Kicker minimum excise duty.

I support both of these concepts, but any candidate who believes that this is enough to solve the structural deficit Oregon’s is not compatible with the facts. Our tax structure has systemic problems, the vast changes.

The Legislative Commission has been appointed, in reality, study, in 2009, the legislature must be prepared to act accordingly. Thus, the political courage. The best predictor of political courage in Salem, the political courage, in the country.

I am the only candidate in this race who was willing to say publicly that the needs of Oregon to examine all options, including VAT. If I am in the end value added tax depends on a number of factors (such as the facilitation of the potential effects on low-income Oregonians), but I am not prepared to exclude them, but because it is controversial.

Financing training

When a product of the Oregon public schools, as I am obliged to ensure that all persons that we have with our children an education.

I would like to see what we do with the amount of money requested by the Government Quality Education Commission. But these billion in additional funds are simply not available in our existing structure, without disastrous consequences of reduced income in the provision of health insurance, the mentally ill, abused children and other vulnerable Oregonians.

For more of a classroom at the disposal of dollars, we need to identify the structural problems of Oregon (1) the adoption of major reforms in revenue, (2) and the reform of health systems to reduce Costs for all programs in the public sector, including in education.

Transportation

Oregon loses hundreds of millions of dollars in lost productivity, because we have inadequate transportation infrastructure.

We have a huge backlog of latent maintenance of roads and bridges, not to speak of new projects and cost required for Oregon expected population growth.

Federal drying, transportation dollars at the same time as infrastructure costs, such as steel is rising rapidly. In my campaign, I spoke openly about the need to fund a number of sources of gas from an increase of taxes, tolls, congestion-based pricing.

That will not be easy for discussion, but we can not afford to avoid this problem.

From health

A six Oregonians have no health insurance.

The effects of this gap in coverage are known. We must towards universal access.

I shall legislation on the reduction of costs in the health sector, greater transparency and accountability of service providers through improved prevention services to the promotion of better health, and individuals and businesses to combine their orders for the purchase of dollars.

We spend almost $ 17 billion for health care in Oregon. I am not sure that we need more money for the prospect of improving the quality of our system. We need to spend money otherwise.

I am active in the work of the Oregon Health Fund Board Bill 329 in the Senate and we look forward to the height of their proposals in 2009.

Oregon real needs of the pipe, ie, ready to talk about some hard truths. The Tidings and its readers are quite right to require candidates peculiarities. Each voter, the application should be the same.

Oregon Revokes Producer’s License

Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services Insurance Division revoked reported that the assurance of the licence of the song Yo-Lee.

Lee was licensed to each inhabitant of Oregon insurance producer since April 2002 and was amended by a residential and business based in Seattle.

After DCBS, Lee embezzled money, which leads to their implementation. DCBS records show that in April and May 2006, Lee won a car dealership, in Oregon four cheques in the amount of $ 4,390, as payment of the insurance premium or by individual insurers in the Farmers Insurance Group to different persons, cars are bought and insurance in the concession contracts. Lee depositing checks in a Farmers’ trust account. After dropping controls Lee, Lee discovered that the amount was paid more than the amount of insurance. Lee farmers, the amount payable for insurance, but uses the excesses
Amount of the premium to pay for his car insurance. Then Lee reimburse the amount merchants.

Lee did not mention the DCBS a change in the address of the economy as required by law. At one point, in June 2006, Lee work discontinued
The insurance as a producer of farmers in Oregon. He reached his residence at a given time in Oregon, in May 2007, in Seattle. Thus, DCBS was tonotify Lee said the director of this change at least July 2007.

In return, the director not to pursue the investigation, Lee added, not coercive measures against Lee, Lee is not explained, for each license, according to the provisions of Chapter 744 ORS, DCBS said.

Redmond man takes health coverage fight to D.C.

 Accessible, affordable health insurance. That is the problem Benjamin Lindner sent Redmond, Washington DC, as witnesses on Capitol Hill late last week.

Lindner told the Senate Special Committee on Aging on Thursday of last week, since the quality of health care coverage is a major priority for Americans age - an age group which, as a rule generally pay more health costs, and has a coverage more difficult to find.

In his final commentary before the Senate panel, Lindner said: “In short, we must ensure all Americans.”

Lindner and his wife, health insurance through their small business, following the move of Central Oregon opened in 1993. At that time, it pays $ 5000 per year for the health of the preserve. Well, it’s more than quadrupled, dir feast $ 21,000.

“We pay $ 10.50 per hour on health,” says Lindner Tuesday.

But the couple has no other choice. Benjamin suffers from psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. His wife, Leslie cancer and was recently treated renal failure - a procedure for insurance to cover refused.

Because of their existing conditions, the couple is not provided by other means.

“We have no possibility to be retiring to walk, or choose another profession, because we have our assurance that, and perhaps unable to recover,” said Lindner.

Three weeks before the National Psoriasis Foundation Portland office contacted Lindner, ask him his story to members of Congress.

At the hearing of the committee, Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Group One of the speakers of our state.

“The big question before the Committee of the coin is simple,” said Wyden. “How is it that so many Americans aged between 55 and 64 cases between enlargement of cracks in the American health care system?”

It’s question hundreds of people want to, they can answer - and to remedy it.

Lindner three goals: coverage, which is available to all American, are with different prices, and cost reduction.

“I have almost no matter what you plan to come, but they have something to do,” said Lindner.

Well, he’s back at home, Redmond, Lindner said his trip was a success for him personally.

“I had a good time,” he said. “It was a wonderful experience for me.”

But as in the case of the biggest problems for the health care coverage for Americans of maturity, there is still much to achieve.

“I would readily admit that, on this issue at national level, with a real management and leadership, and I am confident that we,” said Lindner.

The two fellows Wyden and Oregon, Gordon Smith, Senator of the Subcommittee of the Senate Lindner testified. He said Wyden Health Reform Bill, with about six co-sponsors in the Senate, but it is far from a past more.

Health insurance rates could go up

 The company holder of the Oregon between 26 and 50 employees may be surprised that the next time they talk about their health insurance broker.

Health plans, such as premiums are outdated observed for public enterprises because of a law which came into force on 1 April. Accordingly, most employers with healthy workers is likely to pay higher prices.

Health insurance for employers to 26-50 employees hitherto largely unregulated. The new law - the 2007 Oregon Legislature - extends protection mechanisms, which, for the employer, Oregon, from two to 25 employees and requires the Oregon Insurance Division approval prices.

The law makes Oregon statutes into conformity with federal law.

Well, the rate of May unhealthy groups do not pay more than three times higher than healthier. It also encourages “small” employers of welfare programs.

“Even if a small number of groups, large enough, because the new law, these increases are mainly employers at very low prices to be closer to the average, the Oregon Insurance Division, said in a letter to the insurance.

White Collar Crime - A Week in Review - 1st Week April, 2008. Comments by Business Ethics Speaker Chuck Gallagher

Spring has just emerged, and it appears that white-collar crime is in full bloom - either in the form of indictments, convictions or sentences. As business ethics and crime, white collar Speaker, I say on a regular basis - Each option has a consequence. The following shows the impact of decisions and consequences.

MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA: Seems that John W. Goff decided his license and influence to cheat others and then making false statements about his actions. A federal grand jury charged with embezzlement Goff, E-mail fraud and misrepresentation. In the United States, lawyers press release, it is stated: The indictment alleges that the measures taken by or around 1 January 2002, by or around April 30, 2003, Goff, while the sole owner of the Le Goff, and the programme managers and a representative of the specialty XL Insurance Company ( “XL” specialty) and Greenwich-Versicherungs-Gesellschaft ( “Greenwich”), the remuneration of workers, the premiums ‘These insurance levied for insurance, but not voluntarily order specialty XL and Greenwich their share of the premiums.

Presumption of innocence until proven otherwise, to be innocent unless and.

These contacts resulted in Undercover jointly prepared false returns for a total of about $ 44853 in false charges and a reduction of the tax debt of around $ 3406. Undercover agents Orona not an indication that it arose from a false deductions on tax returns form.
