PPS is Violating the School Initiation and Closure Policy
Let’s be clear on Superintendent Smith’s high school redesign proposal.
She is recommending that 3 Marshall Campus schools close and a new school opened on the campus. She is also recommending that Benson High School close and a new program is housed on the campus.
Both recommendations are in violation of PPS School Initiation and Closure policy 6.10.030-P. Where are the School Initiation and School Closure Reports? Is she planning to produce those after the board votes?

Has anyone read from these policies when testifying? Sometimes it helps to remind the School Board that they are legally bound to follow these policies.
We saw back in 2006 during the K-8 “reconfiguration” that this policy isn’t worth toilet paper. The best thing would be to get a lawyer and sue, the good news being that those policies are rooted in Oregon state statutes, so they have the force of law when invoked.
