ful for all the people who have
come along side us,” Thorne
Ladd said.
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.
