Bend La Pine School Board member Nori Juba will be serving on Governor Ktizhaber's State Education Investment Team. The 13 member Board will come up with ways to improve the State's Education System. Nori Juba says there seems to be the political will to make some significant changes: “We really don’t have an option. It’s been studied to death, but we’ve never gotten to the point fiscally, where we are today where everybody realizes, unless we do something, it’s just going to come apart.” Michael Geisen, a teacher at Crook County Middle School in Prineville, who was the 2008 National teacher of the year in 2008, is also on the Education Team.
