Dear Rieke Community,

I am pleased to announce that Jonathan Jeans, a 16-year veteran of Portland Public Schools, will become the new principal at Rieke Elementary School. Jonathan knows the community well, having served as assistant principal at Robert Gray Middle School for the last six years. As you know, Rieke is the feeder school for Robert Gray within the Wilson High School cohort.

The Portland Public Schools Board of Education voted unanimously to extend PPS Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero's current contract by another two years during its Tuesday, June 25 meeting. Since he will be entering the third year of his original contract, the Board has committed to a total of five years through June 2022 with Guerrero at the helm. The approval came after board members offered a comprehensively positive review of his performance.

A public hearing will be held by the Tax Supervising and Conservation Commission on the budget approved by the Budget Committee for Portland Public School District 1J, Multnomah County, Oregon for the fiscal year July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. The hearing will be held in the Board Auditorium at the Blanchard Education Service Center (BESC), 501 North Dixon Street, Portland, Oregon, on the 25th day of June at 3 p.m.
