The highest school bond request in Oregon history, a $1.83 billion bond issue, was unanimously referred to the May ballot by Portland Public School board members on Tuesday.
A significant portion of that funding would be used to complete a decades-long project to renovate the district’s two huge comprehensive high schools, Cleveland in Southeast Portland and Ida B. Wells in Southwest Portland. Additionally, the bond initiative will provide funds for district-wide athletic facility enhancements, deferred maintenance, and curriculum and technology updates.
