• LGBTQ2SIA+ Supports

    LGBTQ2SIA+ students, families, staff, and community partners are vital members of the Portland Public Schools community. Our commitment to this community continues to expand as we grow in our understanding of the unique needs and challenges facing the LGBTQ2SIA+ community. This webpage is just a starting point for finding information regarding rights, services available within PPS and the Portland metro area, and basic educational resources. Anyone - students, families, PPS staff - can reach out to the Program Manager if they have questions about PPS practices or would like to thought partner around a student need, building need, or department need.

  • Salir del Clóset: Vivir Auténticamente siendo latina y LGBTQ

    Español    English

    El salir del clóset es una opción personal y una experiencia continua que es diferente para cada uno. Para las personas que se identifican como LGBTQ y latinxamericanos, el proceso puede ser más complejo de asimilar. Este suele requerir una planteamiento que interpone idiomas, culturas, nacionalidades, identidades religiosas, y generaciones de la familia.

Whether you refer to September as Latinx Heritage Month or National Hispanic Heritage Month, we hope you find this trans-affirming guide useful as you explore what Hispanic means.
