Dorn the sensible choice for SPI
Rep. Randy Dorn enacted accountability for Washington schools 16 years ago. The goal is ensuring kids receive a good education comparable to their peers around the world.
Sadly, Terry Bergeson has squandered and corrupted Randy's good intent. Bergeson's WASL is a homegrown, $1 billion disaster. Bergeson's baby has received F's in math, English and U.S. history, and a D in world history, from reviews by Fordham Foundation.

I would like to hear more about why there is a 54,000 drop in student enrollment this year, bringing the student population below what it was in 1994. This is unexpected and will generate dramatic consequences for Washington's economy, as well as, education. (see OSPI's report card.) This could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back at least financially.
