The MULTNOMAH EDUCATION SERVICE DISTRICT, is a regional education service agency, that assists our local school districts in getting the most out of our tax dollars. This effort goes a long way to maximize the results of our money, in educating the students of the local school districts. Our Children, deserve the best education we can afford!
MONEY is SHORT: It should not be wasted!
Bilingual Education, it is a waste of money. California has proven that Bilingual Education is a waste of money. They did away with Bilingual Education, and the test scores of the students have gone up. Bilingual Education must end!
TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) Programs were designed for two years for each student. But many students were stuck in the TESL Programs for years. The TESL Programs must be cut back to its original plan or the TESL Program must end!
