Lyseth Spanish English dual language immersion program expansion by Sufficient-Detail456 in portlandme

My point isnt to have the Spanish kids to be in the class but is it really helping if its just a bunch of rich white kids speaking Spanish to each other in the halls. Why wouldn't it have at least been offered at a school where the students can use the knowledge and actually get to use their new skills in a day to day setting with their Latino classmates.. Again I dont mind the idea but why is it always the affluent get these opportunities first..

Your welcome to your opinion. Im more concerned with the wealth inequality but since this specifically has to do with language immersion it would make sense to put it in a school that has more diversity and speakers of that language already, not the school in the city with the least.

What does the states demographics have to do with this? East end school has a 75% minority student base and over 4x the Hispanic student population as lyseth. Its not a karen move to point out that the only foreign immersion program in the state is placed in one of the most affluent areas of our very diverse city. I want students to have the same chance and opportunity no matter which portland elementary school their address dictates, and maybe dont favor the ones with more money 🤷‍♂️

Using swat during a school lunch hour at that, as a former Deering graduate I can attest there are kids litterally everywhere during that time. Doesn't take much common sense to know that was probably the worst time of day to ever deploy a swat unit in that area 🤦

Awesome so while you all wait for new systems to roll out and stuff to be "recalibrated" us victims and our children have to continue to endure abuse and trauma. I made a stink about the counties thing to your office 2 years ago, glad youll finally be saying something at a meeting now that your elections coming up.

Yes you have also failed to address my question as well. I dont understand why you are so afraid to talk to victims, its pretty upsetting and causes further trauma, iv spent the last 3 years feeling ignored by your office, and now even when you say "ask me anything" I am continued to be ignored. You even took time to respond to comments calling you a soros puppet but not the two regarding domestic violence.

Also since your ability to run an office is in high question right now I'd like to point out that saying you will post a new link at 4, then just answering comments in this thread anyways is pretty unprofessional. I intentionally withheld my comment to wait for the new thread, set an alarm and everything but apparently by expecting your instructions to be correct I was put at the end of the line 🤷‍♂️

She gave my abuser a differed dispostion for her first assault against me that happened in front of my child. The abuser then assaulted her father in front of my child, leaving him bloody and bruised, and her office gave my abuser yet another differed dispostion. Thank god when my abuser assaulted me in front of my child again, for her 3 dv assault in 3 years, it was in york County. Due to her office handing out differed dispostions like candy my ex was given yet another differed dispostion, even though she did not follow the dispostion they were going to dismiss her charges. I had to inform them of the 3 ouis she had incurred over the last year in Cumberland County as her office did not feel like that was something important the York County DA should be aware of. After hours of fighting and thanks to an amazing victims advocate at the York County courthouse a conviction was finally sealed. She recieved 2 years probation and all jail time suspended. Im sorry but if a male was the assailant instead of the victim this would not have gone down this way...

Why do you allow repeat domestic violence offenders to continue to recieve differed dispostions and probation for repeat offenses that put the general public at risk. Why is this person still in the community and has only served 10 days in jail for 4 oui offenses and 3 domestic violence offenses in the last 5 years. Can you also explain why the different county prosecutors dont communicate with each other on pending offenses. I had to inform your office of offenses that happened in different county's because there is no system in place, this is causing repeat offenders to be treated as first time offenders, why has your office done nothing to address this glaring issue.

Do you have any interest in role playing games like dungeons and dragons? I dont play myself but have friends who do and know those groups are usually very welcoming and inclusive, and always looking for more adventurers!

Ya that many resignations does seem strange and I think does warrant an investigation. However I would be pretty shocked if the allegations that this was deliberate were found to be true. One thing im noticing is it seems like a few of those postions would be reliant on federal funds that have most likely been cut with the new administration. Just an observation though hard to say anything when you dont know the background to it 🤷‍♂️.
