CITYWIDE RACIAL EQUITY GOALS AND STRATEGIES

EQUITY GOAL #1We will end racial disparities within city government, so there is fairness in hiring and promotions, greater opportunities in contracting, and equitable services to all residents.

EQUITY GOAL #2We will strengthen outreach, public engagement, and access to City services for communities of color and immigrant and refugee communities, and support or change existing services using racial equity best practices.

EQUITY GOAL #3We will collaborate with communities and institutions to eliminate racial inequity in all areas of government, including education, criminal justice, environmental justice, health, housing, transportation, and economic success.

OVERALL STRATEGIES1. Use a racial equity framework: Use a racial equity framework that clearly articulates racial equity; implicit and explicit bias; and individual, institutional, and structural racism.

2. Build organizational capacity: Commit to the breadth and depth of institutional transformation so that impacts are sustainable. While the leadership of electeds and officials is critical, changes take place on the ground, through building infrastructure that creates racial equity experts and teams throughout the city government.

3. Implement a racial equity lens: Racial inequities are not random; they have been created and sustained over time. Inequities will not disappear on their own. It is essential to use a racial equity lens when changing the policies, programs, and practices that perpetuate inequities, and when developing new policies and programs.

4. Be data driven: Measurement must take place at two levels—first, to measure the success of specific programmatic and policy changes; and second, to develop baselines, set goals, and measure progress. Using data in this manner is necessary for accountability.

5. Partner with other institutions and communities: Government work on racial equity is necessary, but insufficient. To achieve racial equity in the community, government needs to work in partnership with communities and institutions to achieve meaningful results.

6. Operate with urgency and accountability: When change is a priority, urgency is felt and change is embraced. Building in institutional accountability mechanisms using a clear plan of action will allow accountability. Collectively, we must create greater urgency and public commitment to achieve racial equity.

HELLO PORTLANDERS!

My name is Adena Long, and I am proud to be the new Director of Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R).

I got my start in the field of parks and recreation 22 years ago as a park ranger; and I left my post as Deputy Commissioner of Parks in New York City this past February to join you here in beautiful Portland. I am a “Parkie” through and through, and I am excited to call the City of Roses my new chosen home.

I am also deeply committed to arts and culture. On a personal note, my mother is a dancer and my father was a photographer. And at NYC Parks, I managed a vast array of citywide public programs, including what we affectionately called “Arts, Culture & Fun.”

Portland is renowned not only for its awe-inspiring park system but also its creativity, innovation, and maker culture. So I am proud to be able to steward PP&R’s affordable arts classes in our arts and community centers and free cultural events in our green spaces—all of which support and celebrate our city’s imagination.

I hope to see you again and again in our parks and centers!

Warmly,

ADENA LONG, DIRECTOR PORTLAND PARKS & RECREATION

For more information on these and other events, see the Arts & Culture online calendar at portlandoregon.gov/parks/arts.

We’re making changes to our guides to save trees, reduce costs, and allow you to plan a bit further in advance. Starting with this guide, we will be producing three Arts & Culture Guides per year (instead of four) on the following term cycle:

• Winter/Spring (combined)• Summer• Fall/School Year

For the combined Winter/Spring guide, you can register for both terms starting Monday, November 18, 2019. Also, we recently changed the start time of the first day of registration from 5:00am to 12:30pm—when all of our arts, community, and customer service centers are open and fully staffed. This will reduce your wait time and provide better customer support.

We are committed to continuous improvement, so please let us know how we are doing!

What s new?

Multnomah Arts Center is NOT closing!

We repeat... Multnomah Arts Center (MAC) is not closing. Contrary to the rumors and inaccurate media reporting, MAC is very much open and buzzing with activity. We are grateful to those who have reached out to express your support and commitment to the arts center.

The best way to ensure that MAC continues to be a thriving and accessible regional arts center is to keep taking classes, keep coming to our performances and art shows, and keep sharing your positive experiences with friends and family. Additionally, please consider making a donation to MAC’s supporting non-profit, Multnomah Arts Center Association (MACA), which generously supports need-based scholarships, at multnomahartscenter.org/donate.

The Renaissance winds program actually started in 1955 under our first CMC director and Renaissance man, Robert Crowley. Arthur Perrow, among others, taught the classes in the 70’s. After the calendar turns to January we’ll have a special commemorative concert to mark the occasion.

SCHOOL YEAR 2019–2020 PRIVATE LESSON INFORMATIONHOW TO REGISTER

1. Submit your application• New students may register at any time until March 14, 2020. Students are placed in lessons throughout the school year as openings

occur• If applying for a scholarship, submit a separate scholarship form as soon as possible.• School Year registration covers end-of-September to early June (up to 33 weeks). Summer registration is separate.• When indicating your day/time availability, keep the following information in mind:

(a) The more availability listed increases the chances of being placed for a lesson. (b) For young students (typically below age 10), indicate the time the practice-assisting parent and student can attend together.

• Scheduling priority may be given to application in order received, so prompt form submission is advised.• Students who are returning from prior term and not expecting to change teachers may apply online. See our website for links.

2. Enroll in your required class.• Private lesson students must concurrently attend a musicianship class. Register for these classes separately by indicating your

choice on the paper application form or by calling the CMC office. Prompt registration is advised. Also see below.• Parents of new students are required to register for and attend a parent orientation nearest to the start of lessons. Choose

orientation based on Suzuki Method or non-Suzuki. 3. Wait patiently for a call from the office confirming a lesson time.

• It may take several weeks for us to schedule your lessons.• We maintain a waitlist through April for students we cannot place in lessons by the start of fall term, and for those applying after the

start of fall term.4. Confirm lesson time.

• Your prompt reply to calls from us is appreciated, and helps us serve you efficiently.• Once confirmed, we will book your lessons in our computer system and send you a receipt with the lesson times and days.• If you need to change your lesson time, please complete a lesson schedule change request form at the CMC office. • Please review your receipt—you are responsible for attendance and payment.• NEW: Once booked, there are no credits or make-ups for missed classes through the year (except when sick—see below).

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTSPracticeStudents should practice daily for at least as much time as their lesson length, complete any homework assigned by instructors, and progress in keeping with their ability to learn. Students who fail to progress to the best of their ability will receive instruction on how to improve practice habits. If progress is still not made, CMC may require the student & parent to sign and fulfill a practice-improvement agreement. A student may be dropped if not progressing. Musicianship ClassThe CMC private lesson program is more than just lessons. It is a sequential curriculum designed to foster well-rounded musicians. Students are required to enroll in, attend regularly, and do satisfactory work in an appropriate Skills class, Orchestra, Choir, Piano, or Chamber Music (fees vary; see catalog listings for prerequisites, special requirements, schedules & pricing). Beginners must choose Skills Foundations. Private Lesson Program students may take these courses at the reduced fee (see catalog for info). The musicianship requirement may be fulfilled by the student receiving comparable training elsewhere. This is documented on the application form.Attendance (UPDATED 2019)Because regular attendance is important, lessons and classes should not be missed except in unavoidable instances. As a courtesy to everyone an absence affects, the CMC office must be notified as much in advance as possible to allow for instructor schedule adjustments. Absences are classified as either Excused or Unexcused.

• EXCUSED ABSENCE FOR ILLNESS - Once per term a student may be granted an Excused Absence from lessons due to illness, if the CMC office is notified of the absence in advance of the lesson. In this case a prorated credit for that missed lesson will be granted. Please inform CMC of the absence as soon as possible.

• UNEXCUSED ABSENCE - Any cause not listed above. No credits or make-ups will be offered for Unexcused Absences. NOTE: A student may be dropped for more than two Unexcused Absences a term, three absences in a row, or four absences of any type during a term. Withdrawal NoticeOnce application is made, a full two weeks (14 calendar days) prior notice of withdrawal is required. Fees paid for lessons beyond two-weeks from notice will be refunded. This policy is different than the general PP&R withdrawal policy.

TER

CMC has a limited number of string, wind, and keyboard instruments available for enrolled students to rent. Rental cost is $50 per term (prorated). Payment is due at the time of rental. Scholarships are available.Rental Process1. Use our online form or call the CMC office (503-823-3177) to get on a waiting list for an instrument.* This

should be done even if you are not yet confirmed for private lessons (youth), or if you are on a group class waiting list (adults). Youth private lesson students can get on the waiting list by checking the appropriate box on the application form (page 25). *Online form is at: communitymusiccenter.org (Click on “Instrument Rentals” on the sidebar.)

2. Once payment arrangements are made for private lessons/group class, set a fitting appointment with the instrument rental staff.

3. Meet with the rental staff. You’ll complete a rental agreement, make payment AND receive your instrument (if your size is available). If one is not available, you may choose to remain on the waiting list.

*Preference is given to scholarship students, then youth, then adults.

String Lesson Program students at CMC have a choice of two distinct ways of studying their instrument in weekly lessons. The age of the student, as well as how much the parent is able to attend lessons and work with the student at home will help us make this choice with you. If you have questions, please call the CMC office (503-823-3177). CMC provides an orientation to parents choosing either method.

NON-SUZUKI (TEACHER/STUDENT) METHOD This is the classic one-to-one approach to learning an instrument. The string player will practice every day at home between lessons on assignments given by the instructor. Likewise, parent/guardian involvement is not required, although parents of students younger than 10 are strongly encouraged to assist the child with at-home practice. Parent observation of lessons is usually optional and is highly recommended under the age of 10. At the start of lessons you may wish to discuss this with your instructor. New students choosing non-Suzuki lessons register for and attend an orientation in fall. (See Parent Orientation on page 13.)

SUZUKI (TEACHER/PARENT/STUDENT) METHOD This is a family approach to music instruction that creates a “learning triangle” between teacher, parent (or guardian) and student. The parent, who does not need to have prior musical training, assists the young students in their practice at home each day as assigned by the instructor. When the student is not practicing, the family listens to the recordings of the songs as much as possible to create the immersion that the method requires for the best learning experience. Music becomes like another language in the home. Parents are required to attend an orientation class in fall. (See Par-ent Orientation on page 13.) When filling out the applica-tion form on page 25, please list availability when the child and practicing parent can attend lessons together. Parents/guardians are welcome to rent instruments from CMC to practice at home with their child—see below for details.

COMMUNITY MUSIC CENTER, INC.Community Music Center (CMC), Inc. is an all-volunteer partner nonprofit organization with Portland Parks & Recreation that raises money year-round to increase access to music education through need-based scholarships and tuition subsidy, instrument rentals to students, free or low-cost concerts, and more. CMC, Inc. was founded in 1960 by a group of parents and interested citizens to help maintain the CMC as a City facility, providing scholarship assistance and tuition subsidy through year-round fundraising.

Today, through its Board of Directors, CMC, Inc. continues to provide the vital financial and leadership support required to ensure equity of access to quality music activities in Portland Parks & Recreation. More information about the Community Music Center may be found in the book, “Community Music Center, the First 60 Years – A Musical History,” available for sale at CMC.

Along with our vibrant arts education program, MAC presents—and partners to bring—theatre, music, dance performances, gallery exhibitions, and other special events to the community; spaces are available to rent.

Founded in 1973, MAC is one of the largest comprehensive community arts education programs in the nation. A program of Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R), MAC is a model community center, sharing and maintaining space with multiple nonprofit community service providers. At the heart of MAC’s success is the all-volunteer board of Multnomah Arts Center Association (MACA), a nonprofit body founded in 1983 that supports Multnomah Arts Center. While PP&R supports the annual operation and maintenance of Multnomah Arts Center, the nonprofit MACA makes it possible to exceed expectations for a community center by raising money to provide additional scholarships, outreach, community engagement, and make facility and program improvements.

TENANT INFORMATIONIn addition to providing community arts education programming and community rentals, Multnomah Arts Center provides space to these nonprofit community service providers. Contact information is provided below as a courtesy to the public.

TERThe Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center was built as a firehouse in 1910. In 1982,

it was established as an arts center by Charles Jordan, Portland’s first African American Commissioner and Parks bureau director. The IFCC has served as a cultural home for Portland’s

African American community since its founding, and has been vital to the creative life of many Portland artists.

It is the customer’s responsibility to contact PP&R if the credit card number has changed, to check your receipts, and to keep your contact information up to date with PP&R. We do not send out notices for cards that have been declined.

Some term-length activities are rolled over from one term to the next; in these cases, the payment plan needs to be re-established by customer request after rollover (notice will be given).

Contact the site at which you registered if you have questions about your payment plan.

LATE FEES• A late fee of $20 may be charged for a past due balance. • Accounts with payments past due may prevent students from

enrolling in future activities. • Late accounts may be sent to a collection agency. • If financial circumstances make it impossible to meet the

agreed upon terms of the payment plan, please contact the program supervisor or coordinator.

PAYMENT PLAN POLICY FOR ARTS PROGRAMS

Payment is due at the time of registration. A payment plan may be set up at no extra charge. However, the first payment is due at the time of enrollment. Payment plans are to be established at site of activity.

Payment plans can make auto-payments on a credit card that must be valid through the date of final payment. An automated email is typically sent to payers 5 days before the card is to be charged.

A separate receipt will be created for each activity that has a payment plan to process and track payments more accurately.

Payment plans without auto-payment or with non-standard due dates may require site supervisor approval and the customer accepts responsibility for making payments by the due date without a reminder from PP&R (note late fees below).

Payments are calculated by dividing the total fee of the activity by the number of payments to be made. Payments will not necessarily match the per-class amounts, and payments in a payment plan may increase or decrease based on course cancellations, enrollee with-drawal, change of length of payment plan, or credits for activities.
