Why You Should Vote NO on Measure 58

• Measure 58 imposes a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching our kids. It takes away local control from teachers, parents and school districts, who know what works best for their schools. What works best in Portland may not work well in Bend or Baker City.
  
  
• Measure 58 is just another bad idea put on the ballot by racketeer Bill Sizemore, who has no experience in education. Measure 58 is so poorly written it doesn’t specify how the system would work, and it could end up costing hundreds of millions of dollars to implement.
  
  
• Measure 58 unfairly punishes students. It would impose arbitrary deadlines on students who are learning English, despite the fact that all students learn at a different pace. Parents and teachers know better than government bureaucrats how to teach English. Measure 58 does NOT make exceptions for students with learning disabilities, meaning they would be required to learn English in the same amount of time.
