I cannot believe that Portland Public Schools is considering closing what may be the only hope for many kids who have not been able to fit within the mainstream education that PPS offers. This is a place where many kids have thrived to say the least when they could not motivate themselves in the traditional educational setting. As a parent who has made every effort with the traditional setting we have turned to LEP with the hope that our son would actually be motivated by the innovated curriculum and teachers at LEP High.

It would be a tragedy and a great loss to the many students that have found a place at LEP to excel.

PPS Please renew the Charter for LEP High
