Remodels of Portland
Schools Proposed

The rebuild list includes Cleve
land, Jefferson and Roosevelt high
schools and five elementary and K-
8 schools, Faubion, Laurelhurst,
Markham, Marysville and Rigler,
with full design for a fourth high
school, Lincoln.
The levy would also pay interim
updates to classroom learning envi
ronments and school facilities, in
cluding teaching technology, sci
ence labs, outdoor PE and recre
ation spaces and other classroom
improvements; and bring account
ability and financial management
measures, including paying off capi
tal improvement debt.

this," said Board Director David

Wynde. "It’s an opportunity to in
vest in our students, it’s an oppor
tunity to invest in our schools, and
it's an opportunity to invest in our
neighborhoods and in our city.”
Director Bobbie Regan said that
the district’s school buildings are
wearing out structurally and out-of-
date educationally.
"Our buildings aren't keeping
up with our needs to provide the
best education possible for our stu
dents," she s a i d , .. not just so our
kids can compete globally, but so
they can compete with students from
new schools in the suburbs."
The proposed school modern
ization bond would also include
safety, structural and educational
improvements at all of the district’s
schools.

Young Women’s Academy Saved
)
Classes will
continue for
grades 6-12
Portland schools superintendent
Carole Smith has reversed her previ
ous proposal to make the Harriet
Tubman Leadership Academy for
Young Women a stand-alone middle
school program serving just stu
dents in grades 6-8.
For the 2011 and 2012 school
year, the Young W omen’s Acad
emy will continue to serve students
6-12 with a science and engineering
focus, as a component of Jefferson
High School. Officials with the
school district believe that keeping
the high school intact will have little
impact on the strength of the sys
tem as a whole.
However, in the future, the board
may bring forward a recommenda
tion for change if and when, “the
Young W om en’s Academ y has
matured to a size and scope that
merits a fully initiated school,” said
school board staff.
In addition, though the school
board approved Sm ith’s proposal
to establish a middle college focus
program at the Jefferson campus
earlier in October, students will have
to wait until staff agrees which com
munity comprehensive schools in
the surrounding area they would
have option to attend as an alterna
tive to Jefferson. Thus, the dual
assignment decisions are as of now,
postponed.
Also on the agenda, the Portland
School Board will vote Nov. 30 on
new boun d aries for M adison,
Franklin and Cleveland high schools,
to redirect the community of students
from the recent Marshall High school S
closure into neighboring schools.
The school board will hear from
the ad-hoc committee, Student As
signment Program Initiation and
Reconfiguration, which will review
proposed Marshall-area boundary
resolutions for the 2011 -2012 school
year.
Parents and students at elemen
tary and middle grade schools in the
Marshall neighborhood will get a
chance to meet with school district
staff to discuss the boundary op
tions, as well as have opportunity to
give feedback at the end of the month
meeting.
