With the impacts of the pandemic and remote learning, as well as other issues, a review of whether they are fair and good for all is warranted.

As long as there is an asterisk on the diploma and permanent record, sure.

Testing is a key tool to make sure graduates have basic skills down, and shouldn't be paused for revision!

Dumbing down of our youth.

Dianne Price

Now kids are going to graduate, even if they're failing their classes?? Should NEVER HAPPEN!!

Michael Miller

I think the requirements for passing classes remains in effect. It's just the state tests that are suspended. I don't agree with that.

Michael Ratcliff

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!? NO!! NO!! You are making our next generation functionally illiterate. When it comes to knowing what this generation needs to sign, (such as contracts, loans etc.) they will have no clue what they are signing because they can't read, write, do math. be in debt fast! NO!!!

Pamela Joe

Kids are not even going to try now nor will the teachers

Robert Northrup

This reflects the failure of Oregon's education system. Is it more focused toward social issues than reading, writing and arithmetic?

Michael Ratcliff

OF COURSE IT IS. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR KIDS ANYMORE. IT IS ALL ABOUT STAYING IN CONTROL OF EVERYONE. THE LESS A PERSON KNOWS, THE EASIER TO CONTROL.

John Philo

Why are we neglecting our students and dumbing down education? Oregon has become a backward state. Appalachia west. Sad!

Brad Livsey

HAHAHAHAHA.............F--K NO!!!!!!!!!

Christena

Hold the bar, they'll reach it.

Kimra Tollefson

Instead of addressing our continuously poor scores, the Governor just threw them out. That isn't helping our students. Their diplomas will be virtually useless now. They don't mean anything.

k san

No. Lynn Owen is right. It is dumbing down our kids.

Kimmy Wasatch

Another ridiculous idea from the Democratic control over OR. How are our kids going to be responsible,, working adults if they are not able to function in the real world. KIds need basic education, reading , writing and math NOT social programs. I hope the school districts will implement testing.

Kenneth Emmrich

Absolutely not. What will that accomplish other than dumbing down America? It will tend to make diplomas suspect and ultimately worthless.

Dumbing down education, not a good idea!

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

Karen Thrower

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Scott Taylor

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

Oakley Taylor

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Carol Yetter

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

The terminal expansion is exciting and so needed! This airport is nice already but expanding and updating it is necessary given the growing demand. My family and I use it regularly and we look forward to more travel options and amenities.

k san

I wouldn't use the word "excited," but it will be a welcome change!

David Kline

Ready for the 747s!

Charlie Lyster

More potential for cheaper airfare/ more options for a single carrier to better take advantage of there air miles

More & bigger planes? Huge power lines coming in basically to support data centers. Central Oregon is long gone from the gem it once was.
