a note about equity
The Duniway Foundation Board is looking forward to collaborating with the broader Portland Public School community as we work together to create district-wide funding strategies and goals over the course of this year. In addition to the Fall Giving Campaign and the Duniway Auction, we encourage parents to also consider donating to the district-wide Fund for PPS here. While we recognize the importance of local giving and local community engagement, we ultimately believe that the best way to equitably fund schools is for the legislature to fully fund ALL Oregon schools. We plan to continue gathering information to determine our plan for this year and beyond, including meeting with district and school leaders to coordinate our planning, as well as advocating for full funding from the state legislature.
