SCHOOLS REPORT, from Michael Reunert

The big news at PPS is the High School redesign process.  The proposed plan will include a number of comprehensive high schools + some magnet schools. The board will vote on the proposed plan on March 8. Details can be found at the PPS web site:  www.pps.k12.or.us  If people want to give input, there is an on-line survey at: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AAJ7T8SM3

The good news locally is that PPS has agreed to provide another modular classroom at Rieke this summer, to accomodate our continuing growth.

BICYCLE UPDATE, from Michael Renert

On the Bicycle front, we are moving forward with the OM Base site and hope to start construction this month.  We have incorporated feedback from the community for the Baker & Spice/Food Front site and have held preliminary meetings with Ardys Braidwood.  Another meeting is planned to review the final plan with Ardys and discuss financing.
