Who We Are
About Us
Launched in 2004, the Chalkboard Project is a non-partisan nonprofit working to unite Oregonians to make our K-12 public schools among the nation’s best. We aim to help create a more informed and engaged public that understands and addresses the tough choices and trade-offs required to build strong schools.
Chalkboard takes a unique approach to improving Oregon’s K-12 public schools by:
- Combining independent research with the opinions of Oregonians
- Designing and implementing pilot programs to test promising practices
- Providing a neutral, independent voice to citizens, educational stakeholders and decision makers around educational practices and policies
