Good evening, Salem.
If you missed our Town Hall last week and are wondering why Oregon students struggle so much with reading, we have a video for you (also embedded below).
Dana Nerenberg, an expert in the topic with Stand for Children Oregon, explains in just over a minute several factors that are unique to our state.
We know you’re busy, and we’re continuing to look for ways to distill important topics like this into summaries and quick recaps so you can stay informed.
