Think Out LoudREBROADCAST: ‘Class of 2025’ first gradeIn 2012, then Oregon governor John Kitzhaber announced a lofty goal: by 2025, the state would achieve a 100% high school graduation rate. That hasn’t happened — the state’s graduation rate is around 82% — but the goal sparked the creation of a 12-year reporting project at OPB called “Class of 2025.” OPB journalists began talking to 27 students who were then in kindergarten at Earl Boyles elementary school in Southeast Portland, and have followed most of them through to 2025. Back in 2014, “Think Out Loud" spent an hour with the first graders, their teachers and parents after an early pizza lunch at Earl Boyles...2025-06-0652 min

Think Out LoudOPB’s ‘Class of 2025’ project culminates with seniors graduating, followed since kindergartenIn 2012, Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber announced a goal that by 2025, the state would achieve a 100% high school graduation rate.

Journalists at OPB began tracking 27 students starting in first grade at Earl Boyles Elementary School in Southeast Portland through their senior year. For the past 12 years, the production team has documented the students’ triumphs and setbacks, transitions to new schools and social dynamics, along with the family members, teachers and administrators who’ve been helping them reach this milestone.

The EvergreenBehind the camera lens with OPB’s Photo EditorThey say a picture is worth a thousand words. And that’s never been more true than in our fractured-attention-span, doom-scrolling age. People can process an image in as little as 13 milliseconds — and that often means deciding whether to read the story below that image - or not - exactly that quickly. So the choices journalists make about what image to put with a story really matter. But they can also be super complicated. OPB’s Photo Editor Kristyna Wentz-Graff sat down with us to talk about the decisions she makes when makin...2024-11-1134 min

Think Out LoudOutgoing Multnomah County DA changes jury selection for misdemeanor trialsStarting next week, the Multnomah County District Attorney’s office will no longer allow prospective jurors to be dropped without reason for misdemeanor trials. The change was made to reduce racial bias during jury selection, according to outgoing DA Mike Schmidt. The new policy will not apply to trials involving domestic violence charges, and will allow for some exceptions for prosecutors to request a prospective juror be removed. But the move appears to have blindsided Senior Deputy District Attorney Nathan Vasquez who defeated Schmidt in the May primary election and will take over as district attorney in January.

While Dollar General successfully opened a store in the city of Wallowa recently, the opposition group is still fighting to keep the chain from expanding in the region. Last month, the Joseph City Council passed an ordinance banning “formula” businesses from operating within city limits. The policy targets stores that have “prescribed standards and features,” such as dollar stores, while allowing for some exemptions. Antonio Sierra...2024-07-1012 min

Think Out LoudEight years later, is Measure 98 achieving its goals for Oregon high schools?In November 2016, Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved Measure 98, also known as the High School Success fund. It provides targeted state funds in three core areas: dropout prevention, career and technical education and college readiness. High schools across the state can apply to access Measure 98 funds by developing individual plans on how those dollars will get used to boost graduation rates among students at risk for dropping out, for example, or provide CTE courses. Stand for Children, a nonprofit that helped write Measure 98 and campaigned for its passage, credits it with helping raise graduation rates, especially for students of color and...2024-06-2715 min

Think Out LoudChecking in on Oregon’s regulated psilocybin industryIt’s been a year since the first licensed psilocybin service centers in Oregon opened – facilities where people 21 and older can legally ingest psychedelic mushrooms in a supervised, therapeutic setting. Oregon became the first state in the nation to approve and regulate the use of psilocybin through a legal framework set up and administered by the Oregon Health Authority. The agency has currently awarded licenses to 28 psilocybin service centers which continue to face regulatory and economic headwinds.

The Canadian government spent $25 billion and more than four years to complete construction on the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion which will triple its capacity to ship nearly a million barrels of oil a day.

Think Out LoudOregon Gov. Tina Kotek to consider establishing Office of the First SpouseLast week, three of Gov. Tina Kotek’s top aides announced their departure from the Governor’s Office.

Think Out LoudMonthlong legislative session wraps up with passage of key billsIn just 31 days, Oregon lawmakers ended the 2024 legislative session.

They also delivered on Governor Tina Kotek’s top legislative priority with a $376 million housing package to boost affordable housing construction, help counties acquire land to develop properties and expand emergency shelters for people experiencing homelessness. The governor has already announced she will sign into law HB 4002, which effectively ends Oregon’s experiment with drug decriminalization under Measure 110.

Think Out LoudOregon legislature moves forward with a bill to regulate ownership of certain medical practicesOregon lawmakers are considering a bipartisan bill that would create some of the strictest limits in the nation on corporate ownership of primary care and specialty medical clinics.
