A GATES/BROAD DISTRICT...I'm sure there will be total denial on Gate's part. There are just too many indicators that this is where they are heading.

But maybe they want to make Portland a shining example of dismantling neighborhood schools and reconstructing them in the corporate image before foisting this model off on the rest of the nation. Perhaps the Gates folks would care to comment on this speculation?

After all, she will be director of education at the Gates Foundation so who would assign her to Portland. But I do think she will still have influence over what happens at PPS, including directing a chunk of Gates money to Jefferson to ensure the continued implementation of her misguided Jefferson redesign plan. But in time the whole district will feel and regret her continued influence over Portland through the Gates Foundation. I don’t think Phillips will be assigned to Portland in her job at Gates.
