North Portland鈥檚 Jefferson High School campus was quiet on a recent weekday afternoon. No chatter from students or teachers. No parents dropping off or picking up their kids from school. But just across North Killingsworth St., at Portland Community College鈥檚 Cascade campus, some Jefferson students were still going to and from class. Sixteen-year-old junior Roman Radecki was one of them.
鈥淚t鈥檚 been 鈥榥o school November,鈥欌 Radecki, who was just getting out of a two-hour PCC Comms 100 class, said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 what people always call November because there鈥檚 a lot of days off. But now we literally haven鈥檛 been in school.鈥
