On September 4, OPEN lost a wonderful, loving & sensitive team member. Margi was killed in an automobile accident, and we will miss her more than words can say.
MARGI BROWN
Margi taught second grade in Mountain View, California before she started her family. In 1971 her family moved to Portland where her daughters attended Portland Public Schools during the desegregation era. She was involved as a volunteer in a variety of capacities and served on the Desegregation Monitoring Advisory Committee for Portland Public Schools. She has continued to be concerned about the funding and health of public education, especially since the initiation of ‘No Child Left Behind’ and increased prevalence of standardized testing.
