School Board Zones

The PPS school district is made up of seven zones that divide the district for the purposes of ensuring each Board member is from different areas of the PPS district. Those who wish to run for a zone must: be a registered voter in that respective zone and must be a resident of the district for 1-year preceding the election. Board members are elected once every 4 years, and candidates are elected district-wide, meaning that no matter what zone you live in, your ballot will contain all zone candidates. The Willamette River is the functional boundary for all attendance areas. Below is a brief description of each zone, which schools are found in each zone, and how to find out which board member is currently representing each zone.
