ACCESS will be featured on OPB tomorrow at 12:06p.m., and my understanding is there will be some discussion of TAG in neighborhood schools. Here's the show promo post -

--------------------
The talented and gifted (TAG) program in Portland Public Schools known as ACCESS has been struggling for years now to try to meet the demand
for space in its unique program. Students who get into the program must
score in the 99th percentile and prove their academic needs are not
being met elsewhere.
The last round of changes in the Jefferson cluster of schools originally directed ACCESS to move from Sabin School to King School, but that plan fell apart. As of this writing, there's no word about where they might go for the fall, leaving parents of current and waitlisted students in the dark.
Is
your child a TAG student? Are their needs being met? Are you one of the
roughly 220 ACCESS students? What's your experience at ACCESS?
