PPS seeks members for enrollment and transfer committee

Formed in fall 2008, the Superintendent's Advisory Committee on Enrollment and Transfer explores both the policies and practice around school choice, enrollment and transfer, with topics such as priority and preferences in the school choice lottery, guarantees in student assignment and other important issues.

The committee is a critical sounding board for Smith as she considers changes to the school choice system to improve equity, access and educational achievement for students.

While the committee is not asked to decide the issues, its members shape the superintendent’s actions and recommendations to the school board.
    
The committee seeks members who represent distinct and diverse perspectives and experiences, and share a common commitment to consider the districtwide impact of enrollment and transfer policies and practices.
 
The committee comprises 14 members, appointed by the superintendent for a one-year term. The committee meets at least monthly with district staff beginning in October.

Download the application or pick it up at the district’s Enrollment & Transfer Center at the Blanchard Education Service Center, 501 N. Dixon St. Portland, OR 97227. Completed applications should be returned to the Enrollment & Transfer Center.

At Portland Public Schools, this is our goal: By the end of elementary, middle, and high school, every student by name will meet or exceed academic standards and will be fully prepared to make productive life decisions.
