House B ill 3013— A llow s a tea cher to use reasonable physical force upon a student to the extent neces sary to reasonably p e rfo rm the leaching responsibility. House B ill 2139— M andatory im munization. The Portland Board o f Education in its November 9, 198I meeting, di rected the Superintendent, D r. James Fenwick, to take the "neces sary a c tio n " to bring the average achievem ent level o f a ll under achieving schools closer to district average. The late D r. R o b ert B lanch ard and his Board announced achieve ment as their m ajor goal each year after the introduction o f the Blan chard Plan in 1970. The Blanchard Adm inistration did not deliver the promised rise in achievement level. Judging D r. Fenwick's past per form ance in this area as dem on strated in his selection and deploy ment o f uncom m itted, insensitive and unskilled s ta ff, change is un likely.
