Muddy Creek Charter School is located rurally, but they offer bus services to most areas of Benton County - in fact, they just added a whole other town. Plus, they have a new principal. If you’re looking for an alternative, they’re a charter school, and they’re entirely tuition free.

Muddy Creek Charter School has been an elementary school fixture in the community for many decades, opening its doors as a free project-based, nature-focused charter school in 2008. But that’s not where its history started. Before 2008 it operated as Inavale School, originally constructed in 1950 ...

Oregon has given subsidized housing developers an unprecedented $1.4 billion in taxpayer dollars, and per unit costs have nearly doubled. But thanks to a carve-out in its public records law, the state doesn’t have to provide the details of that spending.
