  • PPS Racial Equity Policy

    On June 13, 2011 the Portland School Board unanimously approved the Portland Public Schools Racial Educational Equity Policy (2.10.010-P). The policy calls out race-based disparities in schools, identifies the district's role in erasing them and holds up high expectations to ensure that all students reach their academic potential.

    “ALL STAFF AND STUDENTS SHALL BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERSTAND RACIAL IDENTITY, AND THE IMPACT OF THEIR OWN RACIAL IDENTITY ON THEMSELVES AND OTHERS.”
