Boundary Change Possible Without Either District’s Approval – ORS 330.092 to 330.101
The Portland Tribune reported yesterday ”Ron Hitchcock, superintendent of the Multnomah Education Service District – the entity that would facilitate the move – says both school districts involved in the boundary change must agree to it. He says boundary changes may not be undertaken unilaterally, or by a third party.”
Neither school district has to agree to a boundary change. He needs to check again:
ORS 330.092 to 330.101 – The district boundary board on the request of the district school boards of the affected districts or on petition of 5 percent or 500 electors of each affected district, whichever is less, shall merge smaller districts into larger districts or change the boundaries of common or union high school districts.
It’s been done before and only failed because of a paperwork error. Lesson learned. All of the Marshall paperwork will be in.

Good job, Carrie. This will teach the district something about people’s power. The district has been so clueless and arrogant. It is about time. I had another thought and I don’t know if it could be done. High School Redesign could be questioned about its constitutionality since it will deny many students of color and low SES the opportunity to pursue their wealth and happiness.
