Not anymore because PPS forgot that Carrie Adams existed when they suggested to close Marshall. Hats to you, Carrie.
I will support you 1000% if the secession efforts come to fruition.

Everything PPS does seems to be based on politics and therefore also on affluence. Marshall is the least political community. North Portland has the area around the University of Portland and a long tradition of protecting itself. Jefferson, of course, has many activists, but Marshall is easy to dismiss because there is very little political activism in the whole community. Not a surprise they get the bottom attention of the bottom attention getters.

Zarwen, The last I heard Roosevelt wasn’t getting the money. Have you heard anything on it?

What about the $6 million grant at Roosevelt? Why doesn’t that free up a little to use at the other high schools?

Zarwen, That’s what the Oregonian reported but HotCorner is right…Smith’s Q&A lists Jefferson and BizTech. I imagine it’s hard for Smith to keep track of who she made promises to.

I thought she said Jeff and Roosevelt were the ones that would be protected?

To further the confusion, if you look at Superintendent Smith’s PowerPoint to the board, it lists Jefferson and BizTech as the only high schools not facing cuts…
