Preschool Promise is part of a crucial effort to help Oregon change the status quo, to truly change the trajectory for our most vulnerable children and families. It will elevate the early learning workforce, pay teachers equita- bly, and prepare educators to de- liver high-quality preschool. And it will help the state bolster its commitment to high-quality pro- gramming that will unequivocally change lives. But Preschool Promise is mere- ly at its starting point. We need to push to support what we’ve set in motion to strengthen early learn- ing and improve education and health outcomes for our disadvan- taged children and families. The vision for Preschool Promise will only be met if advocates and state leaders pull together and commit to supporting high-quality imple- mentation and ensuring there are pathways to education and train- ing. They also have to support the funding to back it. To serve more low-income chil- dren, Oregon needs to invest more. In this coming legislative session, we will push for increased fund- ing for Preschool Promise, more support for professional develop- ment, and a focus on implemen- tation and evaluation to support improvement and measure child outcomes. We will also push for more opportunities and financial support for culturally, ethnically, and linguistically diverse teachers to increase their education. Preschool Promise is a smart, strategic public investment for Or- egon. But the work has just begun. Preschool Promise can only de- liver if we sufficiently invest and support a quality workforce. We engage in this work fully aware of the significant challeng- es facing low-income families and children of color. But we also believe we can succeed in chang- ing life outcomes with coordinat- ed efforts by families, advocates, schools, community members, and state leaders. Together we must remove obstacles and ful- fill the vision that all children, no matter their income or race, will be able to achieve school and life success. Swati Adarkar is president and chief executive officer of the Chil- dren’s Institute, a Portland-based nonprofit that is committed to all children being prepared for suc- cess in school and life, promoting cost-effective public and private investment in our children pre- birth through third grade. Williams Sister Olympic Loss C ontinued from P age 8 spectators, other members of the crowd would respond with boos. Safarova and Strycova did their best to keep hitting shots toward Venus when she was at the base- line, while Serena was left to stand near the net and watch those ex- changes. “I wasn’t playing the way I needed to play,” Serena said. “I wasn’t crossing the way I need to cross.” The Williams sisters appeared to be getting back into the match in the second set, which was even at 4-all. But Venus got broken there, al- lowing Strycova to serve out the surprising victory. “Lucie was playing unbeliev- able from the baseline,” Strycova said. “She was hitting amazing winners, returns.” At that point, Safarova inter- jected: “And Barbora was a magi- cian at the net.” -The Associated Press L egaL N otices or email subscriptions@ portlandobserver.com Advertise with diversity in The Portland Observer Call 503-288-0033 or email ads@portlandobserver.com Need to publish a court document or notice?
