In the May 20 special district election, Multnomah County voters focused on pivotal school board elections and a $1.8 billion bond for Portland Public Schools (PPS). With four out of seven PPS board seats contested, the bond aims to fund essential construction, remodeling, and safety upgrades. Voter turnout by 8 pm was low, with just 16 percent of registered voters participating. Summary results revealed unchallenged seats in surrounding districts, emphasizing the significance of the outcomes for PPS—underscoring community investment in educational infrastructure.
The passage of the 2025 school bond reflects a shared belief that every child deserves to learn in a school that is safe, modern, and designed for success.
Before the 8pm cutoff Tuesday, Multnomah County had accepted ballots from just 16 percent of registered voters.
