Description

While Portland Public Schools must close some schools, the district should rethink some of the aspects in the two scenarios it has put forward, the editorial board writes.

It’s a testament to Portlanders’ attachment to their neighborhood schools that the prospect of closing some K-5 and middle-grade buildings has generated some wild theories about what’s going on. It’s easier to believe in conspiratorial scenarios or hope for improbable rescues than it is to confront the necessity of closing beloved schools.
