Portland Public Schools – Rightsizing 2026: What You Need to Know
At our November 10 Laurelhurst Neighborhood Association (LNA) General Meeting, Lauren Lipira (Laurelhurst School PTA Equity Chair) and representatives from Laurelhurst School shared a vital update on the Portland Public Schools (PPS) K–8 “Rightsizing” process. The district’s current recommendations include potential school closures, programming changes, and reconfiguring K–8 schools into either K–5 elementary schools or standalone middle schools. Because these decisions directly impact a large percentage of Laurelhurst families and neighbors, we are sharing the presentation with the entire community. 👉 View Lauren’s Presentation Slides Here Why This Presentation Matters Meeting attendees noted that this deck is the most comprehensive yet concise breakdown of the issue available—offering more complete details than recent coverage in Willamette Week, The Oregonian, and on OPB. The slides cover: • The “Why” & Timeline: Why rightsizing is happening now and key upcoming dates. • Decision Makers: Who holds the final vote on these changes. • Laurelhurst Impact: Specific issues and challenges facing Laurelhurst School. • Getting Involved: A summary of community input so far, upcoming opportunities to weigh in, and how you can make your voice heard. The presentation sparked a thoughtful Q&A session with great explanations from the school team. We encourage all neighbors to review the slides to stay informed as this process moves forward.**** See calendar below for more events. ****
