Jefferson High School: Rebuilding Trust & Equality
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Portland Public Schools faces a challenge with Jefferson High Schools low enrollment, largely due to a dual enrollment policy. A new plan to redraw attendance boundaries aims to increase enrollment and resources at Jefferson, historically a Black school with limited offerings. The plan has sparked reactions, highlighting equity and systemic racism concerns. Parents supportive of the change believe it will bring back programs and opportunities, while those hesitant express concerns about current offerings. The district must now fill Jeffersons halls, rebuild trust, and ensure its rich history and diverse curriculum are preserved.
