On the recordNovember 7, 1997
I support charter schools as a means of providing expanded educational choice for parents, and I support the intentions of this legislation. This will allow us in Oregon to continue to offer parents and teachers that have previously benefited from this program an opportunity to continue benefiting. I strongly support this amendment, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
