OPB Politics Now

As the school calendar shifts into holiday mode, many public school students are about to be out of the classroom for a long time. And as families brace for time off, educators are bracing too – for potential budget cuts. And that’s as Oregon’s education system remains one of the worst performing in the nation.

On this week’s episode of “OPB Politics Now,” reporters Lauren Dake, Ellizabeth Miller and Tiffany Camhi discuss some major education issues facing Oregon’s K-12 system and higher education world.

Plus, if you have not checked it out, they discussed Miller’s Class of 2025 project, an OPB endeavor that was 13 years in the making.

Policing isn’t always simple. Every situation calls for a decision: when to listen, when to educate, when to enforce. In this ride-along, you’ll see officers checking in with familiar faces, addressing public concerns, and setting expectations in shared spaces like parks. Some moments call for a warning. Others might call for more. But at the heart of it all is this: showing up, being present, and making decisions that reflect both the law and the humanity behind it. #HillsboroPD #Police #CommunitySafetyWatch video on Facebook.com
