Speaking o f schools
(Continued from page 3 col. 4)
bodies o f several schools com ing
together this year to form, in effect,
a brand new school w ith its own
special id e n tity . Jefferson is
different this year than it has been in
the past and it takes time for kids to
come together and form a new sense
o f unity. I also think there’s a good
deal o f unrest and uncertainty in the
homes o f many o f the students. I
think that there is also uncertainty
about the effects o f some o f the
policies o f the President and o f the
Congress and that these threaten the
livelih o o d and security o f many
m in o rity fam ilie s. T h is kind o f
anxiety cannot help but have a spin­
o ff effect on the way in which some
people feel. When there is change,
unrest or a n x ie ty , the school
provides a natural setting in which
feelings can boil to the surface.
W e ’ re doing everything in our
power to insure that students and
staff and parents work together and
com m unicate
and
strive
to
understand how im p o rtan t their
school is to th total com m unity. I
predict out o f these e ffo rts w ill
come a stronger Jefferson H igh
School and that the pride the
community now has in that facility
and in its program s and student
body will be enhanced in the coming
months.”
He is concerned about the
"uneveness”
in
J effe rs o n ’ s
curriculum , the fact that their has
been a “ skewing o f image tow ard
the magnet program s’ * at the
expense o f the rest o f the school.
Although he thinks (he school has a
‘quality program in most areas, he
wants to strengthen offerings and
insure that all programs are strong.
H e is particularly pleased with the
computer science program.
“ We made a deliberate attempt to
communicate that there is indeed a
policy that allows students to attend
school in their own community and
we want Black parents to know that
we are honoring that policy.**
Fenwick denies that the district is
heavily recru itin g Black students
out, but states that parents are given
options. This year a large contingent
o f Black students has registered at
Lincoln. He things this is because
Lincoln has been receptive to Black
students, it is close geographically,
and the potential closure o f Jackson
makes that school questionable. He
purposely recommended that the
medical p ro g ram , which draws
Black students, be moved from
W a s h in g to n /M o n ro e to Benson
because o f Benson’ s p ro xim ity to
the com m unity and because “ I
wanted Benson to open its doors
wider” to minority students.
D r. Fenwick discussed his strong
points as Superintendent: “ I think
i t ’ s absolutely essential that a
superintendent o f schools be able to
realate to the entire com m unity. I
belive that I have the capacity to
com m unicate to a broad range o f
interests and backgrounds. 1 think
the schools need that kind o f
fle x ib ility at a tim e when urban
education is facing so many crisis.
We have lots o f problem s but we
also have lots o f challenges. We
have a very diverse population in
Portland and we have lots o f ideas
about what is right and wrong and
it’s
im p o rtan t
that
the
Superintendent o f Schools have the
ability to communicate, to listen, to
share and to w ork w ith very
different points o f view and yet have
a mind o f his own and be able to
give strong leadership to the
schools.”
Regarding his relationship with
the Black community, Fenwick said,
“ I ’ ve deeply valued my contacts in
the Black co m m u n ity. I have
com m unicated
w ith
the fu ll
spectrum o f Black view points
during the 16 months I ’ ve been in
this position. W e’ve not always had
agreement, by any means, regarding
the nature and d irectio n o f the
District, o f policies and practices or
other mattes but I sincerely believe
that most, if not all, Blck leaders in
the com m u nity know that I am
open, available and responsible to
their concerns.”
" I am indeed optimistic about the
fu tu re o f Blacks and other
m in o rities in P o rtla n d as I look
forward into the 1980’s and beyond.
Some o f the gains which have been
made by m inorities have been
painfully slow and I lament that. I
say this no, only in the context o f
the schools but also in relation to
other areas including government,
business,
industry
and
the
professions. 1 think there is a
’ coming o f age’ in relation to our
understanding o f what Blck people
really want w ith in the society. I
don’, claim to know all the answers
by any means bu, I do believe that
there is a deep conviction among
Black people that they wan,
educational excellence fo r their
children and that they’ re going to
demand it and to have it.”
