The purpose was to invite prospective Portland-area students to register for North Bend’s Virtual Charter Academy School, which is sponsored by K12, a for profit company. After the meeting, these students and their parents were given free tickets to attend the Portland Zoo. I thought North Bend School District public funds are used for North Bend students and not used to educate Portland area students? |
