Don't sell off our public schools

We believe:

That the Long Range Facilities Plan approved by a prior Board should be immediately abandoned and terminated as policy and plan. The Long Range Facilities Plan was not and is not acceptable to the citizens residing in this school district.

That the 1957 Land for Schools Development Plan, prepared for School District No. 1 Multnomah County by the Portland City Planning Commission, and adopted by the School District, shall be the controlling policy document regarding district facilities planning until a new plan is adopted that will support and foster the spirit and intent of the 1957 Land for Schools Development Plan.

That the Real Estate Trust shall be immediately divested of any and all powers it holds, and all properties held therein shall be returned to the citizens of the Portland Public School District.

That all relations, ties, and associations with the Innovation
Partnership shall be immediately ended, disbanded and terminated. The Innovation Partnership was not and is not representative of the interests of the Portland Public School District, and is no longer authorized to act on behalf of the citizens. No longer shall real estate interests determine educational policies and our children's FUTURES!
