Pivotal School Board Race

Changes in Portland Public Schools have been in the news a lot
lately. Did you know that some of the most important changes have
been decided by a 4-3 vote of the school board? A difference of one
vote could mean a whole new direction for our schools. Now that our
own Zone 1 member, Doug Morgan, has a challenger, Ruth Adkins, that
vote could be different next year. Bobbie Regan is the other westside
school board member (who is running unopposed). Come listen to what
these three people have to say. Two of these people will be
responsible for representing us on the school board.

What is best for our schools and our neighborhoods? You decide.

Come to the Voter's Forum on Monday, April 30th, to hear what the
three candidates have to say and make up your own mind.

A panel of local journalists, including a representative of the
Wilson High School paper, will quiz the candidates, and there will be
questions from the audience as well.
