Portland Public Schools is facing a significant budget deficit of $65 million for the upcoming school year. This financial shortfall necessitates the elimination of up to 450 full-time positions across the district. Increased costs from the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System are a primary driver of the deficit. Declining student enrollment further exacerbates the funding challenges. These cuts will impact both administrative and school-based staff.
