Article about Access site in this Week's Tribune

The Portland Tribune has an update on Access Academy's possible new locations. Access may move to King or another school, since classroom space is tight at Sabin and there's long been little room for either program to grow. Here's a link to the piece.

Oregon Dept. of Ed Survey

The state Dept. of Education has a survey that I'm sure will interest many of you. One of the questions touches on priorities re: program rigor, equity and best practices. In the comments section, you can share your opinion on how ODE should direct Oregon school districts.  Since ODE will soon decide whether or not to support the TAG task force recommendation for a statewide, budgeted TAG plan, this is a good opportunity to weigh in.

ODE says that the Strategic Planning Survey is "specifically focused on our strategic direction for the years to come. This short survey should only take 2-3 minutes of your time and will provide us with important information about how you think we are doing and where you think we need to be focusing in the coming years."

You can access the five-question survey online at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LW93RLJ.

I hope you'll share your ideas with ODE!
