We all know the economy has something to do with it. The school district has made large cuts in their budget and spending, keeping in mind the importance of our youth’s education. The education process can not fall, just on the shoulders of our educators. We ,as a community, need to rally to their support.

The North Clackamas Education Foundation-NCEF, of which I am a board member, is striving to help offset the down turn in the state’s allocated funds to the Clackamas school district.  The Foundation , through  donations, grants, and civic events, gives student scholarships and teacher grants to help promote the education process.

As a realtor in the community, I know that a strong school system benefits us all. New families move into areas with a great school district. The more new families, the more business comes to Clackamas County.  As individuals or groups, we can help grow a vibrant community.
