BACKGROUND INFO:  Recently a young student of North Clackamas School District signed up for "community service" along with other students.  The students were asked to meet at Grant High School in Portland.  They were met by Sen. Ron Wyden (D) who gave them a pep talk then they "Get On The Bus" and head out to Happy Valley where Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian (D) spoke to them.  After that our School Board Chair Cheryl Myers and Democrat candidate for Oregon House, told them she wanted to be the "first Asian-American elected as a Representative in Portland." Their final send-off was a talk by Representative Jefferson Smith (D).  The students were then given lists of names and addresses of Democratic voters and told they had to knock on the door and give them the "pitch" about Cheryl Myers.  This was supposed to be a "community service" project whose hours are required for graduation. 

IF YOU SHARE THE CONCERN FOR accountability and have questions about this, please come to the school board meeting this Thursday and ask them:

1) Why were the students allowed to participate in the BUS project when it is not listed as part of the Youth Take Action partners?

2) Were the parents notified this was a "partisan" community service? If not, why not?  How is this fair?

3) Were students notified they would be campaigning for Cheryl Myers?

4) Does the board find anything unethical or improper about this?   If so, what are they going to do about it?

5) A School Board Director benefiting directly from a program she approves-does the school board think there is a conflict of interest?  Is this ethical?

6) Why did the superintendent of the school ignore the family that wrote a letter of complaint about this?

7) What steps will the school take to win back the trust of the students, parents and taxpayers?

8) Can Cheryl Myers be trusted to make ETHICAL choices on behalf of the school district?

9) Does the student's participation in this effort qualify as a campaign donation from the North Clackamas School District to Cheryl Myers and will she be properly documenting this with the Secretary of State?

Why we should care: Because there should be accountability, transparency and NO corruption at every level of government.  SILENCE=CONSENT.
