Rightsize. Right Support. Right for Students.
Portland Public Schools is undertaking a districtwide rightsizing process to better align our schools, programs, and resources with the needs of today’s students and the realities shaping our future.
Portland Public Schools has released a Request for Information (RFI) seeking qualified medical organizations interested in serving as the medical sponsor for a proposed School-Based Health Center (SBHC) at Ida B. Wells High School.
This opportunity represents an important step toward expanding healthcare access for students in southwest Portland and creating the first School-Based Health Clinic on Portland Public Schools' west side.

The District is using the RFI process to better understand the local healthcare landscape, identify organizations interested in school-based care, and begin early partnership planning ahead of the future Ida B. Wells campus opening.
Rather than moving directly into a formal procurement, PPS is seeking dialogue with providers now so the eventual health center can be thoughtfully designed around:
This approach gives providers a chance to engage early, ask questions, and help shape what a successful future partnership could look like.
