A chorus of parents’ concerns has prompted Portland Public Schools to reschedule four community meetings on the high school redesign effort so more people will be able to participate.

Previously, four of the meetings to take public idea were doubled up on the same nights. Now meetings at Cleveland, Marshall, Wilson and Madison high schools have been reset for other dates in December.

Here are the upcoming high school redesign meetings (all meetings are from 6:30 to 8 p.m.):

• Monday, Nov. 30 — Lincoln High School, 1600 S.W. Salmon St.

• Tuesday, Dec. 1 — Jefferson High School, 5210 N. Kerby Ave.

• Wednesday, Dec. 2 — Roosevelt Campus, 6941 N. Central St.

• Thursday, Dec. 3 — Franklin High School, 5405 S.E. Woodward St.

• Tuesday, Dec. 8 — Cleveland High School, 3400 S.E. 26th Ave.

• Wednesday, Dec. 9 — Marshall Campus, 3905 S.E. 91st Ave.

• Thursday, Dec. 10 — Wilson High School, 1151 S.W. Vermont St.

• Tuesday, Dec. 15 — Madison High School, 2735 N.E. 82nd Ave.
