Jones, DC 333 NE Russell St., #200, Portland, OR. 97212 Remodels of Portland Schools Proposed c o n t i n u e d f r o m front 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 is the right time to be doing this," said Board Director David Page 9 (503) 284-7838 Truly making a difference in the lives of Auto Accident victims and Injured Workers for nearly 20 years.

"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. Wc are located on the corner o f MLK and Russell Street, on the second floor above the coffee shop. W Pakuig Area W NE Russell «200 Russell St. s 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.
