Description

From left to right, Bend-La Pine School District Superintendent Steven Cook, Gov. Tina Kotek, State School Board of Education vice-chair Shimiko Montgomery, Bend-La Pine School Board Chair Marcus LeGrand and Oregon Department of Education Director Charlene Williams at a phone-banking event in Bend in fall of 2025 to thank parents for helping to improve their students' attendance records. Montgomery said Thursday that the governor's office had declined to renew her appointment to the state board after she raised questions about a recent executive order on instructional time.

A pointed critique of Gov. Tina Kotek’s recent executive order seeking to stop school districts from cutting instructional days to save money may have cost a member of the state board of education her role on that body.
