Abstract
Looks at the history of public education in Oregon, the functions it is presumed to fulfill, and public expectations. Examines the social and demographic factors affecting the makeup of public schools, and continued struggles over financing and mounting costs. Argues that schools and school administrations must work in partnership with the public to create schools that will be supported and successful.
