The Issues

MEDFORD SCHOOL ISSUES

  • The State of Oregon has the worst-performing schools in America, and Medford 549C is among the poorest-performing school districts in Oregon. Medford has had failing academic test scores for the past fifteen consecutive years, and in both 2023 and 2024 only 28% of all Medford students passed their State academic tests, while 72% of all students failed. Medford has a highly uneducated workforce as a result. Ignore the bogus, manipulated graduation-rates.  Enlighten yourself by reading the attached test scores below.  Medford is being “dumbed-down”.     https://schools.oregonlive.com/district/Medford/
  • The Medford School District focuses on a woke communist agenda of DEI, Critical Race Theory, BLM, Homosexuality, Transgenderism, and Common-Core, rather than on basic Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic.
  • Medford has one of the shortest school years in the State, and students are shortchanged.
  • Medford schools have an outrageously-high (approximately 20%) absenteeism rate.
  • The Medford School Board and Medford Administrators have been a failing clown-car for many years. A thorough house-cleaning is paramount.

I STRONGLY SUPPORT:

  • Parents’ Rights, and Parental Involvement.
  • An increase in classroom days.
  • Smaller classroom sizes.
  • A stronger focus on Academics.
  • More discipline for behavioral-problem students. I have zero-tolerance for bullying and violence in the schools.
  • Promoting a safe, friendly, and welcoming environment for both students and school employees.
  • The efficient, prudent, and wise spending of taxpayer dollars.

I STRONGLY OPPOSE:

  • DEI, Critical Race Theory, BLM, Homosexuality, and Transgenderism being taught and propagandized in the schools.
  • Non-binary teachers.
  • Boys in Girls’ sports, and Boys in Girls’ locker rooms and restrooms.  

I have far more business, financial, management, and leadership experience and knowledge than any of my opponents. I get things accomplished. 

I’m a 25-year resident of Medford, while my opponents are relatively new residents of Medford who have very little knowledge of the school district or its history.

Thank you.
