juvenile suspects talk with their par

a crime.
Some o f the new laws enacted by
the 1981 Oregon Legislature that af
fect us are:
House B ill 2882— Raises from 65
to 70 the m axim um age for which
age discrimination in employment is
prohibited.
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.
