interfering with a peace officer:
Brittany Frost, 35; Elizabeth L.
Cheek, 33; Ruben A. Delahuer-
ga, 25; Betsy Toll, 68; and Gary
Fresquez, 52. Fresquez was also
charged with disorderly conduct
and the sixth person arrested,
19-year-old Hannah R. McClin-
tock, faces a harassment charge.
Portland Police Chief Dan-
ielle Outlaw released a statement
shortly after the protests:
“The Portland Police Bureau
spent considerable time planning
for today’s demonstration and
counter demonstration,” Outlaw
said. “We used significant re-
sources and attempted to keep
opposing groups apart, both
when they were in the parks and
as they traveled through down-
town. Our goal was to keep all
people in the community safe.”
The demonstrations came on
the heels of a decision by City
Council to reject a proposed
emergency ordinance from May-
or Ted Wheeler, and backed by
Outlaw, that would’ve given
Wheeler the power to dictate
time, place, and manner regula-
tions for demonstrations when
there is a threat of violence and
other special circumstances.
“The ordinance would have
allowed for more tools for use
outside of a park that don’t al-
ready exist in code,” Wheeler
Tweeted as the demonstrations
were winding down Saturday.
Student Homeless
Count High
This Thanksgiving holiday,
nearly 22,000 Oregon students
don’t have a place to call home,
leaving them struggling behind
their classmates and reducing their
chances for success in the future
according to a new annual count
of homeless children in the state’s
school system released by the Or-
egon Department of Education .
Only 60 percent of homeless
students are on track to graduate,
compared to 85 percent of stu-
dents overall.
Since 2012, when ODE first
started reporting this data, there
has been a 20 percent increase in
the number of homeless students.
While there was a small dip state-
wide in that number, it comes after
years of increases.
Beaverton has the most home-
less students in the state with near-
ly 1,800 students adrift, which is
just over 4 percent of enrollment.
Medford has the second highest
number of homeless students in
the state, even higher than more
populated areas such as Portland,
Salem and Eugene.
Schools with higher percentage
children of color were particularly
hard hit by displacement.
“Oregon children continue to
bear the brunt of our state’s hous-
ing crisis and it’s time for state
lawmakers to take action,” says
Alison McIntosh of the advocacy
group Stable Homes for Oregon
Families. “No cause evictions and
steep rent spikes are driving too
many families out of their homes
with no place to go.”
Homelessness has a devastat-
ing impact on a student’s chance
for success in school and in life
as measured by academic perfor-
mance and attendance. The data
shows homeless students are less
than half as likely to meet or ex-
ceed standards in math, half as
likely for science and dramati-
cally less likely for English and
language arts. They are also much
less likely to attend school on a
regular basis than their peers.
A recent investigation by the
Oregonian early this year found
that students churning through
schools because of evictions and
rent increases disrupts not only
their lives, but the entire school.
