    Portland Public Schools leases away Student's Use of School Field

    Typical shortsighted Portland Public Schools approach. District decides it needs to raise money to maintain school fields so it leases field use during the time when students are actually using the field. The story is about the Cleveland field (which PPS didn't pay a dime to improve) but it may also happen at Lincoln.

      You're not supposed to grammar police yourself.

        this has been happening in East and SE for a while now. we have to ask the county for permission to use our home field.

          This might be o.k., if we (taxpayers) hadn't already paid for the fields!!!!
          If this is going to be the way going forward then the schools need to transfer the field to ownership of the parks department and then in turn pay for any school use time of the field.

            Beaverton school district has done the same thing with THPRD.

              This is awesome. Taxpayers pay for the fields, boosters and parents help raise money to pay for upgrades, and then the school leases out the field time so that the kids of the people who paid for it all can't use it.

              Here's an idea. Don't spend all of the annual budget. Put a small amount away annually into an account to pay for this.

                Not true. Beaverton School District get priority on every and all THPRD fields. The difficult part is that we have to plan in advance and give them our schedule of usage. THPRD then schedules the fields and fills every last minute of time. We are bound by the schedule we submit.

                This is frustrating, but we also love the quality of fields that our JV programs use and the time that the THPRD puts into our main facilities.

                More Pros than Cons. Unfortunately, I don't thinks the PPS are operated like the THPRD

                  They should take lessons then. This is sad.
