Catherine Arnold credits a
self-study computer science
course at Aloha High School
with leading her eldest son,
Michael — an upcoming
graduate of Oregon State
University — toward a com-
puter software engineer po-
sition with Intel in Septem-
ber.
To show her appreciation —
as well as set an example of
how an individual can assist a
beleaguered school district —
the city coun-
cilor is donat-
ing $1,400 in
unused cam-
paign funds to
benefit the
high school’s
advanced
placement
computer sci-
ence program
along with programs to assist
the area’s homeless students.
The school is one of many di-
rectly affected by $37 million in
cuts from the Beaverton School
District’s newly adopted 2012-
13 budget.
Specifically, Arnold desig-
nated $500 for the computer
science program; $400 to Home
Plate, a support organization
for homeless students in the
area; and another $500 to di-
rectly assist homeless students
at Aloha High School.
For Arnold, who ended up
running unopposed in May for
her latest city council term, it
simply made sense to funnel
campaign money she ultimate-
