The ideal candidate will set his or her sights on making the school the best it can be and increasing its appeal to local families.

The board is also conducting a survey of parents asking them what they want for their children, in a bid to retain families. The district had 1,400 students from Woodland Park, Little Falls and Totowa in 2012. It now has fewer than 1,200.

Race a factor in mistreatment of Gresham deputy city manager
Third-party findings show mistreatment of Deputy Manager Corey Falls; police resistance toward equity, inclusion
Accusations made by a prominent Gresham city employee about years of mistreatment, harassment and abuse while working at the Gresham Police Department and City Hall have been substantiated by a third-party, independent investigation.
Last summer Gresham City Council hired Paula Barran, of Barran Liebman LLP, to look into alleged incidents occurring within several city departments. At the request of the Gresham City Attorney s Office, the Portland-based law firm undertook an investigation into dueling complaints filed by Deputy City Manager Corey Falls and Chief of Police Robin Sells; the implementation and subsequent failure of 21st Century Policing strategies; and the effort to create an internal equity and inclusion plan.
