We will look at some school success stories around the Portland area. Then take a detailed look at tips and tools for a successful project. The group will review a website created to help teachers and students plan and create whole systems schools (www.wisedesign.org). We will talk about Portland Public School District and city approval and concerns. How to put together a team of community members that will fulfill the projects needs. Finally, we will cover some design specifics for garden, stormwater and other projects. I hope people will come with their ideas and questions.
