债券审计：学校工程按承诺完成，但多付顾问公司 $762,000
一家外部审计机构审查了 Portland Public Schools 在 2024年7月至2026年6月期间如何使用学校建设债券资金。债券是选民批准的借款，用来新建和维修学校。审计发现，学区兑现了对选民的承诺，完成的项目比计划还多。但审计也发现，学区的资金管理不够严格，有些开支本不该用债券资金支付，而且学区多付了 $762,000 以上给现在负责管理债券项目的外部公司。

School board hears how Portland Public Schools will judge school closure and merger options
Staff explained how they will measure options for "rightsizing," which means changing which schools exist, their sizes and boundaries because many schools are under-enrolled. They showed the measures they will use, like school size, distance from home and which schools feed into which, plus an equity review for every option. Staff said that for eight years, money has been taken from high schools to support under-enrolled elementary, K-8 and middle schools.

The draft says rising costs and falling enrollment mean the district should check that money goes first to students. Findings would be reported to the board at a public meeting by December 2, 2026.

Board discusses draft plan to cut costs as enrollment falls
A board member, Engelsman, drafted a resolution asking the superintendent to save money and find new funding. Ideas include a hiring freeze on unfilled jobs until at least January 2027, no cost-of-living raise for salaries over $200,000, and cutting outside contracts not paid for by bonds by at least 10%. It also asks the district to look for empty properties to sell or lease, review top management jobs, and seek money from the City of Portland, The Fund for PPS and local businesses.
