A new challenge arrived when news of the relocation reached Meek neighbors and the C oncordia Neighborhood A ssociation that represents them. C oncordia had three issues: Concerns that teenagers from else­ where would come through their neighborhood “with their cars, drugs and booze,” as one person put it; the likelihood Meek would never again be a local school; and a lack of public input. Despite this, the school district and Concordia reached an accom­ modation. “They were a very articulate, politically savvy and reasonable group of people,” Morrison said. “They tried really hard not to take out their anger with the district on our kids,” M cSw iggen added. Concordia Chair Nancy Hendricks asked hard questions and pushed for conditions. Today, Morrison said, she is sometimes asked if the Meek build­ ing is being used, so small is the neighborhood impact. Student Michael Armstrong said that the Project Citizen class was “more powerful because it was a real experience.” McSwiggen said her students found that they could go up and ask serious questions of important people. 4733 NE Thom pson Portland, Or. 97213 I . ______ $ 1 3 5 0 0 _______ I CALL FOR APPOINTMENT: (503) 281-3949 a n a lo g F M s t e r e o s ig n a l I Teresa Davis Family Service Counselor (503)281-1800 Dave Hinton General Manager www.rosshollywoodfuncralehapel.net
