Portland Public Schools U-Turns on High School Closure at Metropolitan Learning Center
After initial plans to shut down the high school program at Metropolitan Learning Center, Portland Public Schools has reversed its decision. The K through twelve alternative school in Northwest Portland will now keep grades nine through twelve open. The change comes after district leaders reconsidered enrollment numbers and decided to bring in more high school students to maintain operations. Parents, students, and teachers had strongly opposed the closure, highlighting the schools importance for neurodivergent, queer, and transgender students. Board members also intervened, citing the move as a violation of official school closure rules. The district now plans to assist in recruiting more students to boost enrollment.
