InterMountain ESD Superintendent Mark Mulvihill shares his thoughts on Gov. Tina Kotek's proposed budget and what he thinks of her spending for public education. He also discusses changes in the way Oregon handles abbreviated school days for students with disabilities and whether they make education better for those students. Next, Mulvihill talks about the ongoing work to reimagine Oregon's accountability system for public schools. He then talks about standardized testing and why use it at all if we don't make it required for all students. Mulvihill also shares his concerns regarding the 2025 Legislative session and whether there is any talk of the Legislature fixing the funding shortfall for early learning special education. He wraps up the conversation by sharing what's coming in 2025 for IMESD and its member schools.
