SEI Supports the New Jefferson Middle College
From Self Enhancement Inc:
Over the years, the struggles of Jefferson High School have been a major concern for the local community – but finally a solution has been reached. Beginning in Fall 2011, students entering Jefferson High School as freshmen, will be automatically enrolled in the new Middle College program, and will also become a part of the SEI family. Students will attend both Jefferson and Portland Community College (PCC) to earn dual credits essentially starting college for free. And through their partnership with SEI, Jefferson students will also have an abundance of opportunities, including: tutorial homework support, after school programs, and a one-on-one relationship with a school coordinator. Help SEI expand our services to all Jefferson students.

forward to seeing friends and neighbors in Salem. Please stop by if you are in the Capitol.Over 3,000 bills have already been filed for the upcoming session.

The proverbial win/win is nice, but these fundamental questions have to be answered.
