The Hood River County School District will remain open on Wednesday, the date the Oregon Education Association has been calling for a teacher walkout to call for increases to school funding, with teachers in Hood River opting for an after-school rally in Jackson Park. In a statement, Superintendent Dan Goldman said administrators and teachers all agree that students in the district cannot afford to miss another day of instruction this year. He added both the administration and staff recognize the Hood River County community already provides support that allows students to experience excellent educational programming. Goldman did say the Oregon Legislature and Governor Kate Brown need to adequately fund the public school system after what he called “three decades of disinvestment.” The Hood River Education Association , Oregon School Employees Association, the district board of directors, and administration have agreed to hold a “Red for Ed” rally at 4:30 on Wednesday afternoon in Jackson Park as a call to action for school funding.
