Rieke Elementary School Marketing Report

True, Rieke Elementary School is technically not a "Multnomah Village" school, since most Village residents (if they go to public school) go to either Markham or Maplewood. However, the proposed closure of Rieke would have an impact on our neighborhood schools, so this applies to us as well.

For those of you interested in schools, or in the future of Rieke, the PPS reorganization information site has this blurb:

Superintendent Phillips had proposed merging Rieke Elementary School in Robert Gray Middle School to create a K-8. This fall, 282 students are enrolled at Rieke, which is in the Hillsdale neighborhood. The neighborhood and school community asked Portland Public Schools for a chance to grow their enrollment by attracting more families in the neighborhood, allowing them to reach a student body closer to 400, a size the school district considers sustainable and better able to offer a well-rounded curriculum. On October 13, the Rieke community submitted a marketing plan to accomplish that goal.

Here's a link that contains a further link to a PDF of the marketing report.
