To the CPPS Board, members and friends: Here is basic information on the May 17 special election.
Three Portland Public Schools (PPS) Board seats are on the ballot: Zone 4 - currently Derry Jackson Zone 5 - currently Lolenzo Poe Zone 6 - currently Julia Brim-Edwards.
None of the current Directors is running for re-election, so all 3 seats will be filled by new people.
NOTE: Candidates represent a district, but are elected citywide. No matter where you live in the district, you vote in all 3 races.
For more information, including the online voter's pamphlet with candidate statements, go to
It also contains a map of School Board districts. (the map can be zoomed in to get schools detail in each district)
There will be at least three candidate forums I know of:

Thursday, April 28 at 7:00 PM - League of Women Voters and CPPS at St. David of Wales Episcopal Church, 2800 SE Harrison
