Portland Public Schools has announced a pair of new principals as it prepares to open newly rebuilt Kellogg Middle School.
The fact that one of them is the educator hired to develop what the district has said would be the nation’s first kindergarten through grade 12 climate curriculum, with an emphasis on racial and social justice as well as the underlying science, could slow or derail that development.
