The statement also thanked
everyone who dedicated time
and effort over the past three
years to shape the teacher
compensation plan into a successful referendum.
Our district is in a great
place today because of those
efforts, read the statement.
Busler, in an email to the
Observer, said he is humbled by the long-standing
support once again provided
by the community. He said
that will help the district reach
the vision outlined in the community planning event last
August, which identified educator compensation as a top
priority.

Tracey Leider, Oregon Education

appreciates the teachers that
give countless hours to this
profession, she said in an
email to the Observer. Im
especially excited for our current staff members who have
weathered the uncertainty of
no salary schedule for so many
years.
Leider said that in todays
post-Act 10 world, other districts will continue to find new
and creative ways to maintain
a staff of quality teachers.
We are lucky to have a district that was willing to be the
lighthouse to take the lead
in finding solutions that maintains our quality staff, she
said. Im grateful to all the
community and school district
members that worked together
to educate the community on
the necessity of the referendum and then worked to help
people understand that this is a
long-term investment.

State referendum
success
Oregons two successful referendums in
the past two years are part of a trend in the
state.
Since the start of 2012, more than half
of public school districts (242) have passed
referendums to exceed state imposed revenue controls, according to a Nov. 9 news
release from the Wisconsin Department of
Public Instruction. That total includes districts
that have improved or upgraded facilities and
those that have asked to spend more than
what the state allows to provide opportunities
for students.
State Superintendent Tony Evers noted
that support for the referendums spanned
areas that voted for both political parties.
People have come to expect that kids
have access to a quality education and they
are willing to pay for it, he said. Thats a
good thing.
So far in this year,, 154 questions have
been posed by 111 districts at a success
rate of nearly 80 percent, but Evers cautioned that more funding is needed for public schools, including new revenue authority
for districts to spend on the education of our
kids.
While passage of a local (referendum) is
a cause for celebration, we still have many
students in districts that have not found success at the ballot box, he said. We cannot
ignore that fact and its impact on the quality
of our state school system.
