Buehler to visit every school in District 54
Dr. Knute Buehler, candidate for State Representative, announced Thursday that he will visit every school in House District 54 before Election Day.
The purpose of the listening tour, which includes 28 schools in Bend, is to gain a firsthand understanding of what local educators believe are the opportunities and challenges facing their local schools.
“We have really good schools in Bend, but we should strive to have world class schools. I want to learn from our local educators what policy choices in Salem mean to schools, teachers and students here in Bend,” said Buehler.

He was also on the advisory board for OSU-Cascades from 1999-2004. Dr. Buehler has also been an adjunct professor at OSU’s School of Public Health, teaching a master’s level course on health systems organization.
