"Hard lessons for Beaverton schools" is the headine for an editorial in today's The Oregonian ( http://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/index.ssf/2012/11/hard_lessons_for_beaverton_sch.html#incart_river ).

Yes, the state needs to provide adequate funding for Beaverton and all Oregon public school district.

No, Beaverton teachers and parents should put no faith in anything good coming out the survey that BSD will conduct of its teachers, "about their teaching preferences and use that information in future placements." The tale of top leadership in BSD is one of arrogant ineptitude and no accountability. BSD district administration needs a shake-up.
