Black students in particular are a focus at KairosPDX. The school mission is to make a dent against the chronic low perfor- mance of African Americans and other disadvantaged stu- dents at schools across the Port- land School District. With students at KairosPDX now outperforming black kids at other schools in the district, three fold in some instances, the results speak for itself. With just a few years into the program, how- ever, a full picture of the results are still to come. “While this is certainly the bed- rock of what Kairos is about, we recognize we’re still early on our journey making such a recogni- tion humbling,” Thorne Ladd said. Hiring high quality educators and holding year-round class- es, both proven methods to raise achievement levels, are practic- es done at KairosPDX as well as using culturally specific materials for learning. Earlier this year after some controversy, the Portland School Board raised the rent KairosPDX pays to the district by 30 percent while also extending the school’s lease for a single year. The con- tract saved the school from be- coming displaced for the time being, but was criticized by advo- cates of the school for coming up short of the multi-year contract for long-term stability that Kai- rosPDX sought. The Human Rights Commis- sion is focused on building peace and ending discrimination, also a life-focus for the award’s name- sake, Emily Gottfried.
