School Custodian
Board Unfilled
Portland Public Schools has ex­
tended the deadline to apply for
appointment to the Custodian Civil
Service Board due to a lack of
applicants.
The board is being reinstated
because of a recent Oregon Su­
preme Court decision that is lead­
ing to the re-employment of custo­
dians replaced three years ago with
contract workers. The high court
found that the firings violated the
law.
The civil service board oversees
the appointment, employment, clas­
sification and discharge of PPS
custodians and assistant custodi­
ans.
Board applications are available
on the PPS website at pps.k 12.or.us
or by writing or calling the school
board office. The new deadline to
apply is Friday, June 30.

Larry Felix is America’s first African Ameri­
can director of the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and
Printing.
In an interview following a recent $10 note
introduction ceremony, Felix spoke about how his
daughter inspired a sense of pride in his becoming
the first African American director of the office
that designs U.S. currency.
“My daughter said to me that it is hard to
believe there is still a first black of something,”
Felix said. “I just want to make sure that I am not
the last.”
The Chief of Currency Production is an Afri­
can American and the next bill to be introduced to
the public will be designed by an African Ameri­
can, as well.
Felix, who grew up in New York City, holds
degrees from the New York City College of
Technology and the City College at the City
University of New York. He did doctoral work in
Political Economy at Columbia University.
