波特兰公校发布关校草案 最多关闭14所学校引家长关注
波特兰公立学校10月5日公布两套学区优化草案，应对学生人数持续下降。方案A拟关闭14所学校，包括13所小学和Sellwood中学，并调整38处学区边界；方案B保留其中3所小学，关闭11所、调整34处边界。两案还涉及双语沉浸项目迁移与多所K-8学校改为K-5。学区强调，调整旨在让更多学校达到可持续规模、保障课程与师资稳定，而非单纯节省开支。校长将在11月提出最终建议，校董会12月表决，若通过，多数变动将于2027年秋季生效。在校华人家庭应及时关注学区说明会与接收学校安排。
Portland Public Schools Unveils Plan to Close Up to 14 Schools
Portland Public Schools released two draft rightsizing scenarios on October 5 as enrollment continues to decline. Scenario A would close 14 schools, including 13 elementary schools and Sellwood Middle School, with 38 boundary changes. Scenario B keeps three of those elementary schools open, closing 11 schools with 34 boundary changes. Both options move some dual-language immersion programs and convert several K-8 schools to K-5. District leaders say the goal is sustainable school sizes with stable staffing and stronger programs, not simply cost savings. The superintendent will recommend a final plan in November, the board votes in December, and most changes would take effect in fall 2027. Families should watch for community sessions and receiving-school assignments.
