Ballot Measures in Oregon

ON THE BALLOT

November 1, 20 8 - On the ballot in Oregon, Measure 60: Would tie teachers' pay to their "classroom performance." Classroom performance is not defined in the proposal. It would also mandate that the "most qualified" teachers be retained under employment, replacing seniority as a major consideration. A similar measure in 2000 was Measure 20 that was defeated 65-35.
