An Open Letter to the Portland Public Schools School Board on the proposed reform to Local Schools Foundations

There is widespread recognition that Portland's public schools are under-funded and under-staffed (like most of the public schools throughout the United States). There is an ill-conceived initiative to reform the Local Schools Foundation. The LSF is the primary reason the better-functioning schools are able to function better, and this reform would kill it, in the name of equity. But if the answer is taking money from an already under-funded, under-staffed elementary school, then we're asking the wrong question. More info and to get involved:  Save PPS Foundations
