The School Funding Pledge is a program that works to raise the awareness of Oregon's school funding crisis and to work to push Legislators to come up with a solution that provides long-term, stable and adequate funding to Oregon's K-12 system.

"I wish we had the courage to talk about long-term funding for schools...the silence is deafening."
-Senator Lenn Hannon (R-Ashland);
3rd Special Session, June 2002

"Right now, school boards in Oregon need a Ouiji Board and some tea leaves to predict the level of state funding for next year. The Uncertainty of our budgets will create staffing and scheduling nightmares for many schools."
-Beth Gerot, Eugene School Board Member; From bend.com news sources, June 27, 2002

"Oregonians have heard nothing but empty promises for years about finding a workable, permanent solution to the lack of adequate and sustainable funding for education. The Pledge represents an opportunity for Oregonians to say 'enough is enough' and hold Legislators accountable. The Pledge offers Legislators and legislative candidates an opportunity to show voters just how serious they are about solving Oregon's long-term school funding crisis. OSEA is proud to lead the effort to finally do something about it."
-Steven Araujo, Executive Director; Oregon School Employees Association
