With a $548 million bond measure on the line, the Portlanders for Schools campaign has recently reached out to students at Portland State to recruit advocates.

According to Student Leadership and Outreach Programs Adviser Amanda Newberg, Portlanders for Schools contacted her with an interest in disseminating information about the campaign to student groups.
"Not only is this an amazing opportunity to get hands-on political organizing experience, but interns can simultaneously receive political science credit as well," Newberg said.
Stop Measure 26-121. Stop the biggest bond issue in Oregon state history. Portland Public Schools wants to raise property taxes by almost 15 percent. The PPS modernization bond will make Portland's property taxes the highest in the state. PPS has a history of financial mismanagement and wasting taxpayer money. None of the bond money will be used to shrink class sizes, acquire new learning materials, or preserve educational programs.
