Thank you to everyone who attended Principal Coffee last Friday. Your questions matter, not just for our school, but for schools and communities across the district. Please keep reaching out, asking questions, and showing up!
PPS is proposing to close up to 14 schools as part of its ‘rightsizing’ plan, including Sellwood Middle School.
This is NOT a done deal. We can protect Sellwood and our neighborhood schools, but the district decision timeline is short (the board votes in December). We need a massive showing of community support right now.
You Can Take Action Today:
- Fill Out the Survey: Let PPS know how you feel about the proposed scenarios in their survey here.
- Email the Decision-Makers: Write to the PPS Board, local legislators, and news media. See below for links to email template and directory.
- Attend Upcoming Action Events (full list in links): Wear your school gear, bring your kids, and show up!
- October 20 @ 5:00 PM: PPS Board Meeting (rally at 5, meeting at 6) at Benson High School
