Education Town Hall, 4/21

From Peter Buckley's "District 5 Digest" emailed newsletter:

On Thursday April 21st Senator Alan Bates and I will be hosting a town hall on education. Education is exceptionally important to us, and to all of Oregon. It's critical to us as parents of children in public schools that our education system is world class. It's critical for attracting businesses here and developing our economy. It's critical for teaching our children to be future stewards of the state. It's critical for Oregon's future. We want to hear from you, and hope that you'll join us at 5:30 pm at Southern Oregon University in the Rogue River Room in Stevenson Union. Light refreshments will be provided.
April 22nd is Back to School day for the Oregon Legislature. I'll be visiting different classrooms in the southern Jackson County school districts and talking with students about how state government works.

Come to this - Peter and Alan need solid anecdotal material and as much hard data as possible to help in the struggle over adequate education funding in Oregon.
