I'm building on the work of many involved, committed parents and community members. But it's a new year, and a new administration.

The legal research above was included in a set of materials handed out at the 9/06 press conference held by Jefferson PTSA at Jefferson High School. It was prepared mainly by Nicole Breedlove, along with other members of Jefferson High School PTSA including Nancy Smith, Byrd and Glenda Simmons-Walker. The group also presented PPS with a public "report card" of equity and curriculum issues throughout the district, along with a curriculum analysis. Thanks to Steve and Zarwen for the comments above.

Though I must say, I work for BSD and it's a very good school district. Our children are here in PPS, though. I don’t know you and WM, but I’m glad you’re staying, too.

Who told you we were moving to Beaverton?!? Oh, yeah, I read that <a href="http://wweek.com/editorial/3401/9965/" rel="nofollow">Willamette Week article</a> too. Yeah, we're staying. Other than the schools and a better commute, there weren't any positives. And there were plenty of negatives. We really like our neighborhood. Huh? Who told you we were moving to Beaverton?!?

I know one parent who has been given the runaround by the district. They told him even though they have access to the information, they wouldn't collate it for him, and he'd have to gather the information on his own. That’s curious.
