Why are school districts across America running out of money? Portland Public Schools just finalized an ongoing budget crisis that forces massive classroom cuts ahead of the school year. This video uncovers the critics’ perspective on the PPS budget deficit, exposing how a reliance on temporary pandemic relief funds created a predictable fiscal cliff. We look at the local impact on Portland teachers, the pushback from the Portland Association of Teachers (PAT), and why neighboring districts like Vancouver and Salem-Keizer are facing the exact same structural meltdown.
