In an economy where almost everyone is cutting back, local public school districts are no exception.  The Oregonian reported on Friday that Portland Public Schools has cut $9M from its $469M budget.  Most of the districts reported cuts of about 2%.  The effects of the cuts vary from school to school.  Portland is not cutting school days.

The Portland Public Schools website has a link that you can enter a property address to find which Portland schools your child will attend.

Portland Monthly published the 2007 Progress Report in December 2007 and the Oregon Department of Education’s Reports Cards (currently 2007-2008) are here.
