Pack 254 has Scouting opportunities for girls and boys in Kindergarten through 5^th Grade. For the time being all our Pack meetings are on-line, and our Cubs have every opportunity for advancement.  During a time when so many other activities are being cancelled, Scouting is even more important than ever…… teaching the four aims of Scouting: citizenship, character, personal fitness, and leadership.

Today was disappointing – for us but, most importantly, for our students and families. The Portland Association of Teachers offered no counter proposals – and yet declared impasse.

Today, we offered compromises that would both reward our educators and further our students’ success. We were able to raise our compensation offer substantially. We are not there yet, but we are committed to the hard work of finding common ground.

Today, we started the state-led mediation process with one priority: our children’s success. We offered compromises that would keep that vision at the heart of our work – and maintained our position on proposals that would negatively impact students.

On behalf of the Board of Education and district leaders at PPS, our best wishes for a positive and joyful start to your school year!
