Description

A Portland Public Schools board meeting on proposed school closures drew hundreds of demonstrators to the district’s North Portland headquarters Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026. Protesters, including parents, students, teachers and community members, opposed proposals to close up to 14 schools, reconfigure grades and programs and redraw attendance boundaries. Some parents are raising additional concerns about the potential moves and the impact of seismic safety

Seismic safety was not a key “driver” when coming up with a list of both potential school buildings that could close, and those to which displaced students might move, an official with Portland Public Schools says.
