👏 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

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.

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
We've reduced a potentially devastating $57M in budget cuts to $12M w/ proactive cost-saving measures & labor collaboration. We continue to examine all avail resources & propose additional adjustments to maintain valued programming, including all elementary gen ed P.E. teachers.

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 💪🏼

I am SO concerned about @SavePortlandPE that I just HAD to make a Twitter account! Thx @Super_GGuerrero @adamphowell @MrOrencoPE @BrimJulia for inspiring me to get on this platform. In addition to cutting 1.3M in Elem PE only, I am now hearing that all Adapted PE is cut in PPS??

News from @PPSConnect Adapted physical education in PPS has served students for 40 years. This service ends today. 8 incredibly qualified educators will no longer be supporting this population. @Super_GGuerrero this breaks my heart.... @SavePortlandPE
