波特兰市议员提出拯救公立学校决议：吁州长动用教育稳定基金暂停关校，暂未排入议程
美国俄勒冈州摩特诺玛县波特兰市市议员米奇·格林（Mitch Green）提出「拯救公立学校」决议，要求州长蒂娜·科特克（Tina Kotek）授权动用州教育稳定基金，暂停波特兰公立学区正在考虑的关校计划；但截至10月27日下午2时，该决议未获得9名市议员同意列入市议会议程。
决议文本指出，波特兰公立学区董事会与学监正考虑关闭多达14所学校，其中包括6所第一类（Title I）学校，并重划数十个招生边界、迁移数千名学生。格林表示：「健康的公立学校，是我们城市充满活力的社区的核心。」
决议还把税收改革与增加公共教育投入列为波特兰市在2027年俄勒冈州议会会期的首要优先事项，包括改革州退税（Kicker）计算方式、让俄勒冈税法与联邦H.R.1法案全面脱钩，并把废除或改革第5号与第50号财产税限制提案提交选民表决。决议引述测算称，H.R.1到2031年将使俄勒冈损失超过80亿美元联邦资金，市属SUN社区学校与「人人免费之夏」等项目同样面临威胁。
格林议员办公室10月27日表示，将请求市议会主席杰米·邓菲（Jamie Dunphy）把该决议排入下周议程。
Portland Councilor's Save Public Schools Resolution Urges Governor to Pause School Closures; Item Not Yet on Council Agenda
In Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, City Councilor Mitch Green has introduced a 'Save Public Schools' resolution urging Governor Tina Kotek to authorize release of the state's Education Stability Funds to pause school closures under consideration by Portland Public Schools. As of 2 p.m. on October 27, however, the resolution had not won the approval of nine councilors needed to place it on the Council agenda.
The resolution states that the Portland Public Schools board and superintendent are contemplating closure of up to 14 schools, including six Title I schools, redrawing dozens of attendance boundaries and relocating thousands of students. 'Healthy public schools are the centerpieces of our city's vibrant neighborhoods,' Green said.
The resolution also declares revenue reform and increased public education spending a top priority for Portland in the 2027 Oregon Legislative Session: reforming the Kicker rebate methodology, fully decoupling Oregon's tax code from the federal H.R. 1, and referring repeal or reform of property-tax Measures 5 and 50 to the ballot. It cites projections that H.R. 1 will cut more than $8 billion in federal funding to Oregon by 2031, threatening city programs such as SUN Community Schools and Summer Free for All.
Green's office said on October 27 that he will ask Council President Jamie Dunphy to schedule the item for next week.
