Portland Public Schools

Three of Oregon’s largest school districts had measures on the May ballot to either establish or renew levies in their communities, but just Portland Public and Eugene appeared to have gotten a “yes” from voters.

More than 9,000 students were absent from Portland schools on Monday. Nearly twice as many teacher substitute requests were made this year compared to the week before winter break in 2022.

Gov. Tina Kotek said Tuesday she plans to spearhead a statewide conversation over how to address the myriad of systemic challenges plaguing the state’s public school system.

More than 40,000 students returned to classrooms Monday as Portland Public Schools’ first-ever teachers strike ended. Union members will vote on Tuesday whether to ratify the proposed contract.

Portland Public Schools and Portland Association of Teachers announced a tentative deal Sunday evening. Students are set to return Monday.

According to a PPS Board of Education statement, bargaining teams are expected to continue talks on Friday.

The ongoing teachers strike has been a constant mix of back and forth, hope and disappointment. Here's where things stand.

Some Portland students who have been looking to get ahead with college credit classes are now feeling like they’re falling behind.

The two sides discussed class sizes and planning time over the weekend, but no deal was reached.

Portland Public Schools officials said educators don’t have time to prep for family conferences, and students were off next week anyway. Bargaining is set to continue.

Portland Public Schools says the union's latest offer wouldn't save nearly as much money as teachers claim it would.

The Portland Association of Teachers said late Tuesday that an offer sent to the district cut the financial gap between the two sides by $121.6 million.
