The exact model that Pres, Obama is speaking of exists here in Portland on 20th and E Burnside, yet is in grave danger of being closed by the extraordinary lack of vision and seemingly anti-charter bias of the PPS. LEP High is everything a modern, nurturing, and efficacious school should be, yet its future hangs by a thread.  It is a scandalous outrage that PPS wants to revoke the LEP High Charter yet withholds funds and holds LEP to a different standard than other PPS Charters. These are kids who have gone thru other PPS options and have found them sorely lacking.
