👏 News Flash: PPS will restore all adaptive PE teachers for the 20-21 school year. Great news! Thanks to parents, teachers, staff who lent their voices + @Super_GGuerrero & staff for re-examining the budget to pull back cuts. @PPSConnect @OregonSHAPE @adamphowell @SavePortlandPE

Welp. He said it @PPSConnect @Super_GGuerrero @SavePortlandPE Thank you.
Great news! We just received this letter from @PPSConnect confirming that they are restoring all adaptive PE teachers in the 2020-21 budget. This is a wonderful development and we applaud @Super_GGuerrero & the Board for making equality a priority. Thanks to all for speaking up!
Thanks to everyone who reached out to @Super_GGuerrero and @PPSConnect to #SavePortlandPE because #AllKidsNeedPE. Tune in to tonight’s special PPS School Board meeting at 5pm, live streamed at youtube.com/user/ppscomms/vi….

Just wondering if these cuts to PPS staff will also require students with disabilities to be pushed into general eduction Math, Science, English, and Social Studies classes?
PE is an academic subject that requires trained Adapted PE teachers to deliver specially designed content.

Entire Adapted PE program being cut, taking away services to over 550 students! This decision has intersectional impact as it will also disproportionately affect our BIPOC students with disabilities that make up a significant base of our students serviced.
2/2: @EilidhPdx, Inclusive options usually do not have qualified and specialized educators trained to support the student in the ways they need to be supported. We need #PEForAllKids.
1/2: @EilidhPdx, Adapted PE & Inclusive PE are not the same. @PPSConnect’s own website defines it as “specially designed instruction for students who require adaptions and modifications to participate safely and successfully in general PR programming.”
Adaptive PE teachers were recently informed that Adaptive PE as a service would be severely cut & possibly eliminated altogether by @PPSConnect. Tell @Super_GGuerrero this is not equitable for students w/disabilities. Sign the petition at bit.ly/PEForAllKids #SavePortlandPE

Thank you @Super_GGuerrero for reconsidering the decision. However, you do not definitively state the cuts won't happen, nor do you address adaptive PE. We’ll keep fighting to #SavePortlandPE until the budget is passed because #AllKidsNeedPE

Right thing to do to preserve PE for our @PPSConnect students. Adaptive PE too! #AllKidsNeedPE @SavePortlandPE @HPE_Dr @OregonSHAPE @adamphowell

I won’t vote 👎 for these PE cuts. It’s contrary to CDC/health experts recommendations; backslides on compliance w/state law. Most IMPORTANTLY, kids NEED the opportunity to be active so they can learn better! Working w/@Super_GGuerrero/staff to preserve critical PE positions 💪🏼

We saved Portland PE 10 years ago. When will they ever learn? Let's do it again! #SavePortlandPE #SavePortlandPEAgain #PPS @SavePortlandPE @Super_GGuerrero @PPSConnect @akohnstamm @_RitaMoore @BrimJulia @EilidhPdx @depassforpps @EilidhPdx
BE ABOUT IT! @PPSConnect - I quote Goal 3 from PPS site - All PPS students will participate in activities that demonstrate service to our community, individual creativity, and physical wellness. @super_gguerrero @DS_PPS1 @DaniLPDX @SavePortlandPE
