Show Notes
Portland Public Schools face a significant challenge due to declining enrollment, with a potential 13% drop by 2034-2035. The district aims to address this by carefully considering school closures, focusing on equity and community engagement. Key factors include building conditions, deferred maintenance, and earthquake safety. While closures wont immediately save millions, they could lead to cost savings and improved programs for remaining schools.
