Options

Students, parents and teachers marched and pleaded with the Gresham-Barlow school board to keep a program off the budget chopping block. The Options Program is at risk of being cut from the school budget after 26 years of helping students graduate who are struggling at school and home. The school district is short about $5 million and needs to find a way to save money, but students, and their teachers, don't want this program to go. Here are some of the statements they made before the school board Thursday night. I think this is a amazing story and that students care for a program so thoroughly.
