and counselors, the superintendent
has chosen to assign Marshall stu­
dents to these schools next year:
BizTech students to Franklin High
School: Pauling students to Madi­
son High School; and Renaissance
Arts students to Madison High
School
BizTech students also can apply
to attend Madison; and Pauling and
Renaissance students can apply for
Franklin. The decision keeps peer
groups together while allowing for
choice.
Last week. Smith also met with
school board members to request
time for additional analysis and in­
put prior to finalizing recommenda­
tions for new high school bound­
aries in southeast Portland. Board
members granted the request and
will postpone the boundary vote
bon Taskforce on Career Related
Learning also held the first of three
meetings in the coming weeks to
develop recommendations for PPS
career and technical education.
The superintendent and Mayor
Sam Adams are leading the group,
which will focus on helping Port­
land Public Schools improve career
related educational programs to
better reflect the needs of students
and the Portland economic region.
Facilitated by ECONorthwesf s
John Tapogna, the taskforce will
recommend a set of prioritized ca­
reer interest focus areas that PPS
should build out or sustain within
its high school system. These areas
will align with industry and commu­
nity needs, workforce development
trends in the Portland region, and
student interest.

Scholarship Season Begins
The Oregon Student Assistance
Commission has announced the
opening of its scholarship applica­
tion season for students planning
to attend college in the fall of 2 0 11.
The commission administers more
than 400 private scholarships and
public grant programs to help stu­
dents pay for their college educa­
tion.
Searching and applying for
OSAC scholarships by using one
application, saves time and is free,
according to Vicki M erkel, Schol­
arship and Access Program D i­
rector at OSAC. Students can
apply for up to 20 scholarships
online from among more than 400
scholarship program s adm inis­
tered by the agency using O SA C ’s
electronic application known as
th e
eA pp,
a v a ila b le «at
G etC ollegeFunds.org.”
“With the rising cost to attend
college, applying for multiple schol­
arships on one application helps
increase a student’s chances of re­
ceiving more than one scholarship
to help cover their education ex­
penses,” Merkel said.
