Every employee of Newberg Public Schools is focused squarely on educating our students and the enormous task of keeping our schools open, safe, welcoming, and supportive during a global pandemic. Week one has gone well.

Newberg Public Schools cannot enact policies that, according to district counsel, likely violate state and federal law. Doing otherwise could put the school district at serious financial and legal risk. The school board’s decision to ban Pride and Black Lives Matter imagery from schools has gone through revision in the Board’s policy committee and will come to the full Board on Tuesday, September 14, 2021.
