Field notes
The interface separates closures, receiving schools, student or program departures, grade or boundary changes, and schools unaffected in each scenario; lines show destinations and arrow thickness represents the share of students moving. It covers 84 schools, cites PPS proposals as reported by The Oregonian/OregonLive (October 2026), and flags that map pins are approximate, including Brentwood Middle School placed at the current Lane Middle School site.
