Dear PPS Families and Staff,

We want to update you on changes we have made to the Enrollment and Program Balancing proposal for Southeast Portland schools. The initial proposal (see a summary), drafted after months of Southeast Guiding Coalition meetings, was presented to the Board of Education at its January 12 meeting.

After receiving testimony and feedback, the Board discussion included asking staff to consider options that would assure Creston 6-8 students would have access to comprehensive middle schools next year.

The key changes to the proposed resolution are:
The Spanish Immersion program at Mt. Tabor Middle School will remain there instead of moving to Kellogg and will be considered in the Phase 2 middle school balancing.

Creston will convert to a K-5 next year. Staff will meet with Creston middle grades families starting next week to talk about middle school assignments for their students.

The Board will consider the modified proposal at its meeting on Tuesday, January 26, starting at 6 p.m. (meetings are being held virtually because of the pandemic). If you would like to offer feedback:
