What board members said

Just, um, not necessarily like a percentage or anything like that, but just gut check how far from successful remediation of the lead issue are we? Like, how much work is left to be done to make all the drinking water safe? Safe for all of our students?Sarah BrydonBoard member · Portland Board of Public Education · Sep 8, 2026Watch the full meeting from 1:21:01
I, I just have a kind of a decision question, like how do you make a decision? So earlier today we heard from a couple of our OT staff, how do we decide whether to hire an OT like who works for us or contract that service out?Jayne SawtelleBoard member · Portland Board of Public Education · Sep 8, 2026Watch the full meeting from 2:34:07
