What the H&N Is working on ... July 2
What The Herald & News is working on today:
-- Explaining grad rates: The
state's first tracking of graduates was released, and statistics show
that of the students who entered Klamath Falls city high schools in
2004, 52 percent graduated four years later. In the county, the number
was 72 percent. Statewide average is around 68 percent. But school
officials say the numbers are deceiving, citing high school graduation
rates 15 to 20 percent higher than what the state number indicate.
-- Weather and water: June was a rather wet month for the Klamath Basin. We'll provide a roundup on rainfall and, how is the water year looking for farmers. Did June's wet weather help at all?Coming Sunday:
-- All Aboard! Our Amtrak series continues on Sunday. Reporter Ty Beaver rides the train roundtrip from Klamath Falls to Salem. He also provides answers from Amtrak to oft asked questions, including: How are disturbances with drunken passengers supposed to be dealt with? How often are passenger cars cleaned?
