Teachers in the Hood River County and North Wasco County school districts opted for after-school rallies and marches to call for passage of the Student Success Act rather than walking out of classes as teachers in some other districts in Oregon did on Wednesday.  In Hood River, Superintendent Dan Goldman told a crowd of about 200 teachers, classified staff, and other supporters in Jackson Park that the state had practiced “disinvestment” in schools for 29 years.  He also pointed out that with a local option levy, the Hood River district was in the position to add the equivalent of over 18 full-time positions in their budget for next year and add programs, but the rest of the state should experience that as well.  The Hood River group marched from Jackson Park to downtown Hood River.  Teachers in The Dalles marched from North Wasco County Aquatic Center into the downtown area.
