    Desegregation and Multiculturalism in the Portland Public Schools

    ETHAN JOHNSON AND FELICIA WILLIAMS Desegregation and Multiculturalism in the Portland Public Schools HELEN MARIE CASEy’s BOOKLET Portland’s Compromise: the Colored School, 1867–1872 recounts the story of William Brown, an African-American resident of Portland, Oregon, and his role in the first and only case of official segregation of African-American children in Portland Public Schools (PPS) in 187. After unsuccessfully trying to enroll his children in one of Portland’s only two public elementary schools, Brown appealed to the school board, including directors Josiah Failing, W.S. Ladd, and E.D. Shattuck. Again, his children were denied access. The board of directors explained their resistance to integrated schools by saying: “If we admit them [African-American chil- dren], then next year we will have no money to run the schools.” According to Casey, the directors were “afraid to provoke the taxpayers and rouse their ire.”1 Rather than attempting such a politically “risky” effort, the school board eventually allocated $800 — $75 more than it had offered prior to Brown’s threat of a lawsuit — for a segregated school at the corner Southwest Fourth and Columbia. Twenty-six African-American students, twenty-one boys and five girls — many of whom had previously attempted to attend another public, or “free,” school in Portland but had been denied — enrolled in the school. The continued existence of the “Colored School” was constantly in question at annual school meetings. Funding for the school was abolished in 1872, and the next year, thirty African-American children were admitted to the newly integrated PPS.

Horowitz, Chair Victoria C. Belco Patricia A. Schechter Randy Blazak Portland State University 2013 ABSTRACT The struggles for racial equality throughout northern cities during the late- 1960s, while not nearly as prevalent within historical scholarship as those pertaining to the Deep South, have left an indelible mark on both the individuals and communities involved. Historians have until recently thought of the civil rights movement in the north as a violent betrayal of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s vision of an inclusive and integrated society, as well as coinciding with the rise, and subsequent decline, of Black Power.

Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Washington. Sir: Many students apply for admission to higher institutions in other States and sections than those in which they have received their high-school preparation. Many also seek certificates from ex¬ amining and licensing boards, which have no direct means of know¬ ing the standards of the schools from which the applicants come. The demand for this information led the Bureau of Education, first in the spring of 1913 and again in the autumn of 1914, to undertake the collection and preparation of lists of high schools and academies accredited by State universities, approved by State departments of education, or recognized by examining and certifying boards and by certain other agencies. The demand proved to be even greater than had been anticipated. The first edition of the bulletin was soon exhausted. There have be^n many requests from college and uni¬ versity officers for copies of the second edition. Moreover, changes are made in these lists of accredited schools from year to year.

    Roosevelt High Holds 5Th Annual Hoodies up Event

    PORTLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS | FEBRUARY 11, 2020 Roosevelt High holds 5th annual Hoodies Up event Roosevelt High School held its fifth annual Hoodies Up event last week. The gathering happens annually on Feb. 5, the birthday of Trayvon Martin, the teenager who was shot and killed in 2012, a rallying point for the start of the Black Lives Matter movement. Roosevelt students filled the auditorium for speeches and performances, and students and parents created black banners that adorned the hallways throughout campus. The event was organized by students from the Black Student Union, Senior Inquiry and Ethnic Studies. Watch video Connect to Kindergarten events are underway For parents about to send a child to school for the first time, kindergarten can seem like a daunting challenge. But if you have a child who will attend kindergarten in Portland Public Schools in the fall, our Connect to Kindergarten events can help ease the transition. Connect to Kindergarten, which got underway last month, is a series of open houses for families of kindergartners-to-be, where parents and guardians can explore classrooms, meet teachers, get your questions answered and register for school. Portland Public Schools is an affirmative action and equal opportunity employer. Visit the Connect to Kindergarten webpage for dates, times and other information, such as if childcare will be available. Dates are available for your neighborhood school, and also focus option and dual language immersion schools. Please note that if you would like your child to attend a focus option or DLI school, you will have to apply to enter a lottery by March 5 to be considered.
