Portland likes to buy $20,000 pizza cutters for their school cafeterias after spending $200,000 on a consulting firm that told them to just use the $4.00 kind from KMart.....no money left for pencils after all that.
Thankfully my son is not in the Portland district(even though we live in Portland). He is in the Parkrose school dist.....when this area was incorporated into Portland 30 some years ago they retained their own School district--we just share Portland's fire, bus, police, and library system
