On May 20, Multnomah County voters participated in a special district election, impacting Portland Public Schools significantly. The ballot included four of the seven school board seats and a proposal for a $1.8 billion school bond, aimed at funding construction, remodeling, HVAC, and safety upgrades across multiple schools. Additionally, only two out of six board positions in David Douglas School District faced competition, while other local educational boards had uncontested seats. As of Wednesday morning, voter turnout was reported at only 20%.
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.
By 7 am Wednesday, Multnomah County reported just 20 percent voter turnout. Multnomah County's Elections Office is expected to release another update at 6 pm Wednesday.
