Cramer was vocally opposed to a move by the Oregon Board of Education to suspend graduation standards in Oregon high schools for another four years,following the Legislature's suspension in 2021. She told the Oregon Capital Chronicle at the time:"I think the bigger issue here is that the board has continued to remove standards and has not come up with a game plan,”she said. “I think that’s why parents and Oregonians are kind of frustrated. Just because graduation rates are improving,it doesn’t mean proficiency is.” [11]
