The Schools Committee area now has a page devoted to updates on the High School Redesign process.  Click on the Committee link above, then Schools Committee, to see more.

This page contains current links to news and information on Portland Public Schools High School Redesign. While high schools are the main focus, and Wilson High looks relatively likely to be maintained in place, all high schools will be changed, and the changes at the high school level will affect all schools feeding into high schools.

Monthly meeting of the SWNI Schools Committee - Visiting Robert Gray to see the REACH program.

Monthly meeting of the SWNI Schools Committee - promoting communication between schools and neighborhoods.

This may be a small thing, but today I've been picking the "SWNI" topic for these new forum topics, since I am required to pick something. I am not using the "CMS" topic for two reasons: I feel "CMS" is too cryptic and limiting, and I don't feel these issues fall under the "SWNI Server" subhead, as I've alluded to elsewhere.

Warning: very geeky topic!

This issue is relevant to clarity in the My Account tabs and settings that each member can access for their account, and also affects other interface elements.

I find the whole organization of the site very confusing. For example, when I go to the home page, how would I find this forum topic? How would I get to the SWNI Server Management Team "home page"? How do the items on the "Quick Links" menu relate to the general organization of the site?

The Schools Committee news is recently updated with two new articles:
Children's attitudes on race, and
a Repeal effort on state income tax increases.
